Norman Hsu bugs out of his court appearance. Again:
Disgraced Democratic fundraiser Norman Hsu was a wanted man again after he failed to show up for a court date Wednesday and a judge issued a new warrant for his arrest.
Hsu, whose criminal past has roiled the campaigns of top presidential candidates, was scheduled to ask a judge to cut in half the $2 million bail he posted last week when he turned himself in after spending 15 years on the lam from a felony theft conviction.
Instead, San Mateo Superior Court Judge Robert Foiles ordered Hsu’s bail forfeited to the county and issued a new arrest warrant. If Hsu is arrested again, he will be jailed without bail this time.
Hsu, a Hong Kong native, was also supposed to turn over his passport Wednesday. Hsu’s prominent Silicon Valley criminal defense attorney Jim Brosnahan said Hsu failed to give the passport to the legal team on Monday.
“Mr. Hsu is not here and we do not know where Mr. Hsu is,” Brosnahan said outside court.
I guess he just, you know, really didn’t want to go to jail:
Cap’n,
Mr. Hsu is a native of Hong Kong and has a remarkable ability to generate large amounts of cash with no visible means of support. Not to snark (too much) but it would appear the elusive Mr. Hsu may just be a Chinese Agent Provocateur.
My question is, how did he get out of the country? Perhaps by private jet? Say a G4 or G5 with sufficient range to cross the Pacific?
Nah, just my imagination running wild.
I’d bet $ he’s in Hong Kong. Pity we don’t have an extradition treaty.
Let’s see…this guy has a variety of front companies…can put several hundred thousand dollars into Democrat coffers…can write off $2 million in bail…
That’s no businessman. That’s a Chinese government agent.
Now, just WHY would the Chinese government be funding Democrat candidates for office?
Shipmates,
Muke M. asks”Now, just WHY would the Chinese government be funding Democrat candidates for office?”
Well, perhaps Mr. Clinton could answer that question. I would direct your attentions to this company:

Let’s face it, if the joke about Kennedy was that his father once said he’d buy the election but wouldn’t pay for a landslide, it’s clear that almost 50 years later money has a great influence on our elections. Can anybody blame China for investing in their future?

No Max, but we can blame those lawbreakers who take the money. It’s time Hill & Bill did some hard time.
Think it was Salon (not the e-zine) who said” The law is like a giant spider-web; it catches the little things but the big things go crashing through it.”
It’s good that some things are constant.
