It would appear that Democratic fundraiser, international man of mystery and two-time fugitive from justice Norman Hsu is even more of a mystery. ABC News cannot get a handle on this guy at all, just more questions.
The latest puzzle: Despite funneling hundreds of thousands of dollars into Democratic coffers, Norman Hsu is not a member of the Democratic party. In fact, records appear to reflect he isn't even registered to vote.
Hsu's name does not appear on voter rolls in either California, where Hsu lived in the 1980s and early 1990s, or in New York, where he lived more recently, according to documents and state officials…….
…..Strange details abound in Hsu's biography. Before his trial, Hsu was the victim of a kidnapping reportedly tied to a Chinese gang in the San Francisco bay area. After dodging his 1992 hearing, Hsu is believed to have returned to his native Hong Kong for several years.
Details of his businesses remain sketchy. Upon investigation, many of his recent business addresses appear to be little more than mail drops, despite the thousands of dollars those companies reportedly helped generate for Hsu that bankrolled his donations.
Many donations Hsu harvested for his Democratic politician friends came from people who, like himself, were not registered to vote. Some political finance experts have noted the families did not appear wealthy enough to afford the big-money checks they reportedly wrote to Clinton and others.
This story has all the makings of a media feeding frenzy. It is too big and too stinky to ignore.
The local Lincoln Journal Star had a small blurb in the national news section today, September 7, that Hsu had been picked up in Denver, Colorado. Have you seen anything about this? JPG
Actually, it was in Grand Junction, Colorado.
