At the center of the ever-deepening mystery of Norman Hsu, the fugitive fund-raiser who was captured after a brief flight from the law last week, is the question of how he evolved from a bankrupt swindler in 1992 to a wealthy donor to many Democratic candidates, and a bundler of campaign contributions to Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton in 2007.
Candidate Topic PagesMore Politics NewsA review of financial records for one of Mr. Hsus companies begins to shed light on some of his recent activities, including his dealings with a circle of campaign contributors that has fallen under suspicion since news of Mr. Hsus criminal past, murky business interests and unexplained riches rocked the Democratic Party.
The records show that Components Ltd., a company controlled by Mr. Hsu that has no obvious business purpose and appears to exist only on paper, has paid a total of more than $100,000 to at least nine people who made campaign contributions to Mrs. Clinton and others through Mr. Hsu. The payments occurred in the spring of 2003, several months before Mr. Hsu emerged as a contributor to Democrats and more than a year before he started bundling checks from those same people for various campaigns. In all, he has raised more than $1 million for Democrats.
The records make clear that the group was more than just a loose collection of friends, family and co-workers that bundlers typically rely on when raising money for a candidate. Rather, each person had a direct financial relationship with Mr. Hsu, either receiving money from his company or paying into it, even though many of them appear to have other jobs or businesses independent of him. The purpose of the payments, and whether they related to business costs, fees or expenses, is unclear.

I’m starting to thing this Hsu is a spy for the chinese government.
Ya Think?!!!
Great Post!!!
Slowly but surely the Clinton Connection to illicit money sources is starting to become known.
It’ll take more time but I think it’s coming.

Did you see that Bill is going to Ireland to raise money for Hill’s campaign?
The Rat Party (formerly the traditional, patriotic Democratic Party) gave back the bundle dust but where's the bundles?
Hillary is a communist, of course the Chinese communist government has a very strong interest in seeing her win the Presidency. She also has endorsements from Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro and Osama bin-Laden. I expect Robert Mugabe to weigh in any time now.
"Well golly gee," said stumped NY Times employees. "We'll never know but we tried. It's all a body can ask. We're professionals and we tried."

The only question left for the questioning mind to ponder is; Where does the money come from?
Hint: this country invented the fortune cookie and is famous for their Cultural Revolution.
At least they ran a desultory piece about it. Journalists still love a scoop, even if editors and editorial boards don’t.
WSJ and LAT are the main points on this thing. It’s up to the blogosphere to keep them on it.
What would be really cool is exposing efforts to spike this story.
Where does the money come from? All of us Freepers are missing the source of their money. We all know of clinton’s ties to the world drug kingpins. A recent picture posted on Free Republic showing a large room stacked full of 100 dollar bills. It is their mint for unlimited billions of dollars at their disposal. His ties to the Dixie Mafia and corruption from the years of power in Arkansas and his backing of worldwide drug cartels is still going on. His defence of the KLA in Kosovo opened up the drug trade for all of Europe and Asia. His pardons of the FALN TERRORISTS helped with South American drug dealers in Columbia and other nations down there. If only the real truth was exposed. Look to drugs for their money.
Now if the charter planes Hsu uses are based in Mena, the circle will be almost complete.
Did he ever meet Charlie and Johnny?

What are you saying? hHer Thighness taking illegal campaign money???? Stop it with this crazy talk!
I predict this Hsu event will be the campaign story of the year. Despite the MSM inattention, this story will become the 500 pound gorilla in the corner at every political forum. The parallel to the 1990s fiasco are far to obvious. The onion skin has only been peeled slightly and it already BEGS attention. After all, this is not just funny money its most likely foreign money attempting to influence most of our Democratic candidates and our potential security. In a post 911 environment that just wont hold water.
Is it possible Hsu is connected to the Chinese Triads?
