Democratic fundraiser Norman Hsu (SHOO) has failed to appear for a bail hearing in Redwood City.
Hsu forfeits the $2 million bail he posted last week. A judge has issued a new warrant for his arrest.
Hsu's lawyer says he doesn't know where he is.
Hsu has been a fugitive in California for 15 years during which time he became a top donor to Democratic candidates, including presidential contenders Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama.
Hsu pleaded no contest in 1991 to a felony count of grand theft, admitting he'd defrauded investors of $1 million in a bogus investment scam.
Prosecutors say he was facing up to three years in prison when he skipped town before being sentenced.
Federal Election Commission records show Hsu donated $260,000 to the Democratic party and candidates since 2004.

I wonder if we’ll see Hsu’s inevitable apprehension on A&E’s next season of Dog the Bounty Hunter. :)

He’s probably back in Beijing being debriefed by his PLA Intelligence handlers.

This is great news.

Walked away from $200,000 in bail. Dumb ass judge for giving any bail at all. Fugitive for 15 years, pretty clear that he is a conduit for foreign government money into the US . . . and he gets released on bail.

Did he have to relinquish his passport as a condition of bail?

I was going to ask what idiot let him make bail and not give up his passport but I am sure that his money source would have absolutely no problem with conjuring up a new passport.
