Has Norman Hsu Fled The Country?
Democratic fundraiser and felony fugitive Norman Hsu turned himself in last week on a 15-year old bench warrant. He posted the mandatory $2 million in bail on that and was supposed to appear today at a bail reduction hearing. But he has not shown up, his lawyers don't know where he is.
And the judge did not take Hsu's passport when he made bail.
California businessman Norman Hsu, a former New York apparel executive and major contributor to Democratic candidates and causes, failed to appear for a bail reduction hearing Wednesday, leading to speculation that he again is a fugitive from the law, FOX News has learned.
Hsu's attorneys say they do not know his whereabouts, and that their client did not surrender his passport.
Hsu turned himself in to authorities last week after more than 15 years on the run from a felony conviction of grand theft. He admitted to defrauding investors of $1 million in a bogus investment scam.
A man who had a warrant out for his arrest for 15 years. A man who reportedly spent several years in Hong Kong while a fugitive. And the judge did not take his passport? Are you kidding?
