From Gateway Pundit:
This was just reported at the Fresno Bee:
Democratic fundraiser Norman Hsu (SHOO) has failed to appear for a bail hearing in Redwood City.
Hsu forfeits the $2 million bail he posted last week. A judge has issued a new warrant for his arrest.
Hsu’s lawyer says he doesn’t know where he is.
Hsu has been a fugitive in California for 15 years during which time he became a top donor to Democratic candidates, including presidential contenders Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama.
Hsu pleaded no contest in 1991 to a felony count of grand theft, admitting he’d defrauded investors of $1 million in a bogus investment scam.
Prosecutors say he was facing up to three years in prison when he skipped town before being sentenced.
Do you suppose the Chinese gang members have kidnapped him again?
Go check out the Pub, too. Collins posted some “funny” shit, and Karl and others some thoughtful shit.
And, you know . . . someone that fugly ought to be easy to track.
Rove! You magnificent bastard! (Wait for it).
From Aldo in the comments:
Here’s a classic. Predictably, today’s editorial about Hsu in the NYT tries to protect Hillary by trotting out the familiar “broken system requires public financing†homilies. I can’t believe, though, that they were actually shameless enough to portray Hillary as the victim here:
“Senator Hillary Clinton has been burned twice lately by so-called bundlers…â€Â
Poor Hillary. Burned! by people who insist on throwing money at her. I hate it when that happens.
He has probably fled the country and is betting on a Hillary win and the same deal Marc Rich got.
Where is this pub of which you speak?
– Most probably got out of Dodge rgrough Canada and on to Hongkong….Hes a major player in the Chinese garmet industry, which means Cathay is connected, and they own an Airlines operation, among other things, providing him a fast path for travel….probably has major bucks stashed in the Caymans so the 200 grand for the bond is pocket change….Long as he doesn’t run afowl with the Chinese gang bosses he’ll probably just retire somewhere extradition isn’t going to touch him…. That or he could always diguise himself as an ugly pekinese…
Note the difference between the legal treatment he’s received — bail so low he had cash on hand to pay it, his being allowed by a judge not to surrender his passport because he said he couldn’t find it, his 15+ years on the lam from the feds, all spent as a high-profile public figure, yet there was no law enforcement interest in appreheding him, etc, etc, etc — and the legal treatment you get.
Why, it almost seems as if the system recognizes its own and takes care of them.
You think they didn’t know he was bailing? Really? Really?
He has probably fled the country and is betting on a Hillary win and the same deal Marc Rich got.
Either that or the deal that Foster got. In which case, someones should start checking park benches.
Kidding.
I just have to know…
Do you get ‘SHOO’ out of ‘Hsu’ the same way as you get ‘FARVE’ out of ‘Favre’?
I don’t care how wealthy he is. That is some serious coin to leave on the table. I assume the Bounty Hunters’ going to be looking for him.
Tv movie-of-the-week: “If The Hsu Flits”
Hanging with Johnny Huang and Charlie Trie over in the PRC.
It’s been like a 90’s Nostalgia Weekend for a couple weeks. Gotta love dem Clintons.
Fat Man, you’re assuming he went through some bail bondsman around the corner from the lockup. “Serious coin” for you and me is “walking-around money” for the guys we’re talking about.
Thing is, I think people want Clinton to be the nominee, so this sort of thing is not particularly helpful until she gets the tiara.
So Hsu laid out 2 million just to delay fleeing the country for a week. I wonder what he did with that extra week he paid so much for.
Your link for “funny” is not linked to the pub, it goes to the dead Ohio guy.
Could he be hiding with the nuke in Hillary’s unused snizz? It’s a definite possibility.
hf–
So, are you saying I should remove the quotation marks?
He’s saying you should be funny, Collins. happyfeet commands the monkey to dance.
Oh. I’m confused. This is happening a lot lately.
So, he put on his running Hsus?
Mikey NTH;
I just heard over the AP wire that your shame has been arrested in Thailand and is being booked for public indecency and making random animal noises.
It’s a long way from home, fer sure!
As he came off the plane in Hong Kong, a ChiCom party official greeted him, “Ah, Hsu!”
Followed by, “My apologies. Allergies.”
Hsu yer daddy? Hillary!
The good news is he’s been found.
Bad news is that he was found at Fort Marcy Park.
Understood: scandals from 1992-2000
Expected: scandals from 2009-2016
Not expected: scandals in 2007
Good news / bad news.
Good news is he’s been found.
Bad news is that he was found at Fort Marcy Park.
Squid: I have known some rich folks in my time. None of them would leave $200K lying around. There is, after all, a reason why they are rich.

Poor Hillary. Burned! by people who insist on throwing money at her. I hate it when that happens.
The Clintons believe in public financing – The Chinese public.
Why would anyone imagine the Hsu-ster financed his own out of jail getting?
I feel sorry for Normy Shoo-meister. All he wanted to do was sleep in the Lincoln bedroom and to dance until he was light headed … and to feel Bill Clinton’s Cuban cigar enter and exit his anus. Fund raising connects all dots, as you know.
The Chinese government executes their factory managers who cause bad press in the U.S. Why would Hsu go there? If that’s where his money was coming from, I mean. If Hsu was an agent of the Chinese government funneling campaign contributions to Democrats to buy their acquiescence in technology transfers, wouldn’t he be in more danger from China, now that he’s failed, than from the U.S. government?
I’m sure he’s off somewhere being Hillary’s chum…
I have shame? I thought I sold that little bugger twelve years ago.
The Los Angeles Times started a little investigative series about Hsu last week. On Saturday, 9/01/07, I wrote a comment on the CQ blog predicting the course that this story would take:
On Wednesday, 9/05/07, the NYT wrote that editorial. Their take-away lessons from the Hsu story:
1. Hillary is the victim:
2. Both parties do it:
3. The lesson here is that public financing of campaigns is needed:
Got it? Move right along now. Nothing to see here. It would be a tragedy if this becomes a scandal. Five years from now, after the first Hillary (3rd Clinton) administration, NYT staffers will anonymously go into Wikipedia entries (again) to erase all references to Norman Hsu.
Anyone feel reassured that Hillary can handle our enemies, when she can’t even handle people giving her money? Same mistake, twice. This from a smart woman? She wants to take care of our health care, too.
