From public real eastate records, here is the story on the little lime green bungalow of the Paw Family, who have given over $200,000 in total over the past several years to various Democrat candidates, committees etc.
As we all now have heard, major Hillary donor, and HillRaiser, William Hsu, has emerged as perhaps having given tons more cash than the law allows, through the use of what is being alleged to be "straw men" in the form of the Paw Family, residents of a little lime green bungalow in Daly City, California, in the flight path of San Francisco International Airport.
No doubt the Paws can affort a couple hundred grand of political contributions on their own. Eh? Especially in a house where the residents rarely if ever even vote, and are not registered Democrat?
Makes sense to me.
Here is what has emerged from the public records concerning the lime green bungalow at 41 Shelbourne Avenue, Daly City, California:
The house was originally purchased in September, 1989, by William, Alice and Winkle Paw, for $38,000.
On July 12, 2001, in a "intra-family transaction," the house was sold to William and Alice Paw - and a mortgage was obtained for $250,000.
Another new mortgage was recorded on the property on July 22, 2003, in the amount of $270,000 - a 15-year mortgage, which comes due in 2018.
The house currently has an assessed value of $293,040.
"41" was built in 1959, has 7 rooms, including 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, a one car garage, central heat and air, and is 1280 square feet. The lot size is 3400 square feet.

Does anyone think the Paw-Hsu connection is mere coincidence - or that the Paws have this kind of money to toss at the Dems?

The Lexis database only goes back to the reference to the 1989 sale that is in the original post.
The entire family are nudists, and with the money they save on clothing they can afford to make elaborate contributions to the party of their choice.
Take a look at this post, and the WSJ article behind it.
Nothing new here.
Call me crazy, but when I look at that “house”, it looks to me like it started out as an ordinary mobile home which has been enclosed and added on to. Look at the houses on either side - they are obviously mobile homes too. Now there is nothing wrong with that but seriously, can one get a mortgage on a mobile home for $270,000? No wonder housing values are all messed up.
Thanks....
Well...Ask the Beast what she thinks should be done about the Chinese imorting stuff that makes humans sick& kills pets.
.....”straw men”.....
Answer to the question “what do you call dead grassroots contributors”
Well, you have to consider where this is, just a few miles south and west of San Francisco....$270,000 is probably the gong rate for a dump in this area.

Great observations. Now that I look at it closely, I dont see a front door. Like most mobile homes, the entrance is on the side of the home. Also, the home sits up higher than a normal foundation and the roof construction is lightweight.
These guys need to be hauled in and questioned under oath.
Hsu once listed the Paws' house as his address, according to the Journal.
Winkle Paw helped found the Omicron Chapter of Lambda Phi Epsilon at San Francisco State University in 1993.
A search on Next Electronics LTD where Winkle is supposedly the Director of Operations comes up with nothing...what electronics company wouldn't have a website?
Winkle is also listed in 2004 as a Investment Banker, Franklin Templeton
And Winkle Paws sounds like a character from Sesame Street.
They already have -- Wall Street Journal and Los Angeles Times.
today's Opinion Journal Political Diary:
In Case You Forgot Who John Huang Was...
Hillary Clinton suddenly has her own version of John Huang, the mysterious fund-raiser and former Clinton political appointee who was at the heart of her husband's 1996 campaign scandals. He's Norman Hsu, a wealthy New Yorker and Democratic fundraiser whose questionable political giving was the subject of an investigative report in yesterday's Wall Street Journal. Mr. Hsu also happens to be an official high-dollar "HillRaiser" for the Clinton campaign -- and, it turns out, a fugitive from justice since 1992, when he reportedly pleaded no contest to a charge of grand theft, agreed to serve three years in prison and then vanished.
How very reminiscent of the strange cast of characters who swirled around the 1996 Clinton campaign. At the center of the controversy over improper contributions and alleged links between the contributors and the Chinese government was James Riady, scion of the shadowy Hong Kong-based Lippo Group, who returned to Asia and never cooperated with investigators. Pauline Kanchanalak, whose $253,000 in contributions had to be returned by the DNC, decamped to her native Thailand. Little Rock restaurateur Charlie Trie, a major-league fund-raiser and recipient of wire transfers from the Bank of China in Hong Kong, took up residence in Beijing to avoid questioning.
Mr. Hsu appears to be following in the footsteps of Mr. Huang, a genius at finding contributors of apparent modest means to donate lavishly to the Clinton campaign. The Journal reported this week that among his prize catches was the family of William Paw, a mail carrier in Daly City, Calif. None of the Paws ever donated to any candidate before 2004, but seven adults in the Paw family have donated $213,000 to Democratic candidates in the last three years, including $55,000 to Mrs. Clinton. In Mr. Huang's day, an Indonesian gardener and his wife, despite being foreign nationals, donated $450,000 to the Democratic National Committee in 1996 and then suddenly had to leave for Jakarta.
E. Lawrence Barcella Jr., the Washington lawyer who represents Mr. Hsu, says his client had nothing to do with the 1996 fundraising scandal and is simply a big fan of the Clintons and Democrats in general. As for that pesky grand theft charge, Mr. Barcella says his client doesn't recall pleading guilty to any criminal charge or having an obligation to serve jail time.
Hmm. Similar memory failures were rampant in the 1996 scandal. Witnesses called before the Senate investigative committee chaired by then-Senator Fred Thompson suffered collective amnesia on just about any subject much beyond their names, titles and Social Security numbers.
To its credit, the Clinton campaign does remember Mr. Hsu and is bravely defending him -- for now. "Norman Hsu is a longtime and generous supporter of the Democratic Party and its candidates, including Sen. Clinton," said Howard Wolfson, a Clinton spokesman, on Tuesday. Of course, that was before the latest revelations about Mr. Hsu's criminal record. No doubt he will now be placed in the same memory hole as Mr. Huang and all the other fundraisers for the Clinton political machine whose tactics proved embarrassing.

Damn shame the MSM will never report it.

Like I said....

Mr. Hsu is a fugitive from California with ties to the Chinese community.
The Clinton’s are known to have received illegal funds from a Chinese restaurant owner who subsequently had to give up his bag man job leaving the Clinton’s with a vacancy in the China fund raising operation.
Reno’s justice department tracks down possible Chinese to fill the position and find a perfect candidate in Hsu who has money contacts and a problem.
Hsu is given the choice of arrest or cooperation.He gets found out and asks what his defense should be. He is told to say, I can’t recall being convicted in California.
Mr. Poroit takes a small piece of paper out of his pocket. You see he says. I found this in a fortune cookie it says. “Politician who feed on Chinese money soon get hungry again.”
I posted the below response to another thread with the same topic:
To: shortstop
If I were any Republican in the house or senate, I would IMMEDIATELY go through all donors to their campaigns to look for ANY suspicious contributers.
It wouldn’t be significant donations, just enough for democrats and their media to defend themselves...”Republicans took money too” or “Everybody does it”.
If they don’t find any donations from this “group”, especially now that this scandal is becoming public, they instruct their staff who handles contributions to be alert for any donations which might be deemed suspicious or unusual.
These socialists are not to be underestimated, they will make sure they have explanations for ANY circumstances which may arise.
