California Investors Accuse Hsu In Another Fraud Scheme

First Posted: 03/28/08 03:45 AM ET Updated: 05/25/11 01:15 PM ET

An Orange County investment company filed a lawsuit against disgraced
fundraiser Norman Hsu on Friday, saying that he defrauded investors
out of at least $23 million and dictated that they make contributions
to Democratic candidates as a condition of doing business with him.

According to the suit, Hsu persuaded the company's operator that he
was legitimate partly by taking him to Democratic Party events, where,
the suit alleges, Hsu was thanked and praised by New York Sen. Hillary
Rodham Clinton and California Atty. Gen. Jerry Brown, among others.

At Hsu's direction, the lawsuit says, the investors poured tens of
thousands of dollars into Democratic coffers, delivering $30,000 worth
of checks payable to Clinton's campaign on a single day.

Whichever Clinton operative that did not give Hsu enough poison when they put him on AMTRAK will suffer Hillary's scorn.

No, no, say it isn't so, all people involved in politics have the highest ethical standards, and would never be tempted into anything criminal, dishonest, or subversive in a million billion zillion years...

Interesting!

The top counterterrorism and national security adviser to Romney's presidential campaign is Cofer Black, vice chairman of Blackwater USA.

Will this be the extent of the MSM outrage? Will Princess Fiona not remember these either....And will that epitome of liberal blogging integrity Jerry Brown appear on the left side of Huffho with any remorse ? Or just the usual Republican bashing /Bush hating/vitriol?
