Bail-jumping Democratic fund-raiser Norman Hsu was busted in Colorado last night after two days on the lam from a California court hearing, authorities said.
FBI agents took Hsu into custody at St.Mary's Hospital in Grand Junction, according to FBI spokesman Joseph Schadler.
"San Francisco FBI located him," Schadler said, and Colorado G-men and local cops made the collar.
St. Mary's spokesman Pete Smarr told the Daily News, "Norman Hsu was traveling on an Amtrak train when he became ill. Amtrak personnel called an ambulance when the train stopped in Grand Junction and had him transferred to St. Mary's Hospital. He is currently in the hospital under federal custody. He is in fair condition."
A spokesman for Hsu seemed suprised by news of the arrest last night. "I haven't been in contact with him for a couple of days," said spokesman Jason Booth. "I'm happy he's been found."
Hsu had been scheduled to appear in a San Francisco court Wednesday to turn over his passport and ask a judge to halve the $2 million bail he posted last week. That's when he had finally turned himself in after spending 15 years ducking sentencing on a felony theft conviction. But Hsu failed to show up at the bail reduction hearing and a judge issued an arrest warrant for him.
California attorney general spokesman Gareth Lacy said Hsu's lawyers had told prosecutors Hsu arrived by charter jet at the Oakland airport about 5:30 a.m. Wednesday local time and then vanished.

Make that 1.1 seconds.
Why don’t the Democrats give that DIRTY money to the Investors that he swindled???
Drat, beat out again. lol.
Now THAT is a great question.
Not exactly something easily checked through any official channel, but a passenger or amtrak employee might be willing to chat on condition of anonymity. Hope some enterprising reporter's already on it.
......Remember ....he was escaping.....

Wonder if the FEDS will examine all those other people on that invitation!
Is that a REAL picture?
All of this data can be used by Freepers, who live to track down data like this to see what is in common and beyond chance.
Witness Protection Program is more like it. Even that is not foolproof when the Klintoons are involved!

Very Interesting. The feds are going to drop the interstate fugitive charge against him?! What? ICE was involved in the arrest. Is it a common practice for them to help out in these situations?
Hsu is still listed by Hillary Clinton’s campaign site as an honored “HillRaiser”
They should return it to Hsu’s defrauded investors.
I’ll bet HSU is NOT an AMERICAN CITIZEN!!!
Is it just me, or does it seem absurd that politicians can ‘donate’ this money to charity? So they still get the benefit of the illegal money, and now they can do something good with it (and gain more political points?) I think it should be ordered returned to the donor or given to the government.
How did he get sick? I’ll bet a HANDLER was travelling with him.
I'm not hsure...
