The mystery of Norman Hsu deepens today with a New York Times report on his collapsing cover stories. While the Gray Lady tries to focus on the sudden retreat of Democrats from a man who has raised almost a million dollars for them, the real story comes in the second half of the article -- in which Hsu appears to be a front:
People who met him said they knew only that he ran an apparel business. Efforts to learn more about his trade hit dead-ends yesterday. Visits to companies at addresses listed by Mr. Hsu on campaign finance records provided little information. There were no offices in buildings in New York’s garment district whose addresses were given for businesses with names like Components Ltd., Cool Planets, Next Components, Coopgors Ltd., NBT and Because Men’s clothing — all listed by Mr. Hsu in federal filings at different times.

I love this from the comments section:
“Another political hack will have to fall on the sword to cover for Hill. Hope someone doesn’t get despondent and shoot themselves in the back of the head.”

Its getting around.
Meanwhile, as new names begin to surface in all this, be sure to check here:

Thanks for the ping.
A surname search and destroy ought to flush out quite a few.
Please be careful with the California contributions. There is apparently another “Norman Hsu” who lives in the L.A. area and has been a school board member down there. If you don’t have a zip code match for our Mr. Hsu of Paws fame in the Bay Area, take care not to conflate with the gentleman down South.
Checking again, I see you have a good list. Sorry to attribute to you an error you did not make.
Could you PLEASE put that info on EVERY THREAD about HSU??? Those companies are a FRAUD??????
Also....E-Mail that info to the REPORTERS that have been working on this story!!
Is Hsu an American Citizen??? Isn’t it ILLEGAL for a NON-CITIZEN to give money???
Hopefully, the lead level is high enough to sink Hillary.
Why isn;t THAT info also on EVERY Thread about HSU??? Most people have forgotten all of those things!! Please keep repeating!
No problem. I found the other Norman Hsu early on in news articles running for school board and such in the San Gabriel Valley. I deleted that “Hsu” from my list to make sure I didn’t confuse them.
Charlie Trie came BACK to the US??? Is he in JAIL? Was He EVER in Jail?
Maybe from selling tainted toys to the US? Hmmm... follow the money...
