Norman Hsu, Top Fundraiser for Hillary Clinton and Other Democrats, Indicted12.04.07: 6 counts of mail fraud, 6 counts of wire fraud and 3 counts of violating the Federal Election Campaign Act. If convicted, Hsu could face 20 years in prison on each fraud charge and five years on each campaign finance charge, as well as fines. Hsu is accused of cheating investors of at least $20 million and using some of the money to make illegal political donations. Hsu is also accused of violated federal campaign finance laws by making contributions to various political candidates in the names of others. The 15-count Manhattan Federal Court Grand Jury indictment follows similar charges filed in September, in a California case, that prompted Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton to return $850,000 in campaign contributions after initially refusing to do so. After an FBI investigation began the Clinton’s campaign reversed their position. Federal investigators are looking at numerous large donations allegedly donated by working class families to Hillary Clinton and other Democratic candidates. Prosecutors said investigators believe those families and addresses were a front for Hsu to get around campaign limits.
In September, Hsu had been charged in California with one count of mail fraud, one count of wire fraud, and one count of violating campaign finance laws. He was arrested at a Grand Junction, Colorado hospital on September 6, after failing to appear at the California court hearing. Hsu had been wanted since 1992 after fleeing in the wake of another fraud scheme in which he was accused of bilking about $1 million from 20 investors. Hsu remains in a California jail on the separate fraud charges but is expected to be extradited to New York in the coming weeks. In addition to the indictments, New York prosecutors sought to seize all of Hsu's assets. Among the items specifically listed in the indictment was a saxophone autographed by former President Bill Clinton. Like Hillary Clinton, both Democrats President Bill Clinton and Vice President Al Gore had past problems with illegal contributions from Asians. – FlA
