Big Source of Clinton's Cash Is an Unlikely Address (Caught!)
Wall Street Journal ^ | 8/28/07 | BRODY MULLINS

DALY CITY, Calif. -- One of the biggest sources of political donations to Hillary Rodham Clinton is a tiny, lime-green bungalow that lies under the flight path from San Francisco International Airport.

Six members of the Paw family, each listing the house at 41 Shelbourne Ave. as their residence, have donated a combined $45,000 to the Democratic senator from New York since 2005, for her presidential campaign, her Senate re-election last year and her political action committee. In all, the six Paws have donated a total of $200,000 to Democratic candidates since 2005, election records show.

That total ranks the house with residences in Greenwich, Conn., and Manhattan's Upper East Side among the top addresses to donate to the Democratic presidential front-runner over the past two years, according to an analysis by The Wall Street Journal of donations listed with the Federal Election Commission.

It isn't obvious how the Paw family is able to afford such political largess. Records show they own a gift shop and live in a 1,280-square-foot house that they recently refinanced for $270,000. William Paw, the 64-year-old head of the household, is a mail carrier with the U.S. Postal Service who earns about $49,000 a year, according to a union representative. Alice Paw, also 64, is a homemaker. The couple's grown children have jobs ranging from account manager at a software company to "attendance liaison" at a local public high school. One is listed on campaign records as an executive at a mutual fund.

The Paws' political donations closely track donations made by Norman Hsu, a wealthy New York businessman in the apparel industry who once listed the Paw home as his address, according to public records. Mr. Hsu is one of the top fund-raisers for Mrs. Clinton's presidential campaign.

If they had the house reassessed to borrow against it, wouldn’t the increased value also increase their property taxes? Just askin’, I don’t know how the law works here.

I did a review of the property and it looks like it was initially purchased for $260,000 in 1989. A refi was done in 2001 in which a loan was taken out for $250,000 and it was refinanced again in 2003 and the loan at that time was $270,000.

If the original loan was a 80/20, then the original loan would have been in the range of $210,000. After 3 years the principle would not have gone down more than a few thousand dollars. Therefore even with the second loan refi in 2003, the most that the PEW's could have pulled out of their house would have been about $70,000.

I really don't think they would have put all that money into the Hillary Campaign and then be left with a 30 year mortgage to finance Hillary's campaign.

I think it is fairly clear that the money did not come out of the house and that somehow these people got their hands on a significant amount of cash which was specifically designated to be donated to the Hillary Campaign.

There are appparently three businesses being run out of the residence. There is a fictitious name filing for Paw's Gift Shop at that residence. There is also a corporation being run from that address called, NU IMF Capital Inc., which is owned by Winkle Paw. There is also another corporation called "International Capital Management Group, Inc." and the registered agent for service of process is Peter Tan, who lists his address as the same as the Paws.

I suspect there is a link between NU IMF Capital, International Capital Management Group and Mr. Hsu (who is the likely bankroller for this scheme.

I went to peoplefinders.com and entered paw and daly city in the search. What’s interesting in the results? The spellings of Paw/Taw, Dimiple becomes Dinple and Dimple, and there are 2 companies associated with this family, one the BA DA TRADING CO and the other NU IMF CAPITAL, INC. (Eh? IMF as in money fund maybe?)

Another thing. There aren’t many “possible associates” or roommates listed for any of these 6 people. None has married, at least not that you could infer from a free search. Yet they’re all 30-something, the four children.

And as for “Winkle Paw,” there appears to be no such person. Not even as a variant spelling or a possible associate.

I wonder if the money comes from Communist China.

Maybe Hillary is going to return to the policy of giving away American Technology to China.

So China and Hillary have to be creative about how her campaign is financed by the ChiComs...

If not for the fact that they are donations to Democrats Lucy Ramarez would be delivering the damning documents any minute to the MSM.

(Eh? IMF as in money fund maybe?)

My question as well. Money laundering?

May 28, 1998 U.S. House investigators describe an elaborate money-laundering network between Chinese government-owned companies with links to high officials in Beijing and Democratic fund raiser Charlie Yah Lin Trie and his associates that was used to make financial contributions to the Democratic Party through unwitting "straw" donors, the Washington Post reports. Joint bank accounts at the International Monetary Fund credit union in Washington, used to funnel donations between China and the Democratic National Committee, were jointly owned by Trie, Shao Zheng-kang, secretary general of the China Everbright Holding Co., and Su Yongli, a former attache at the Chinese Embassy who subsequently worked at the IMF. Also sharing the accounts was Ms. Keshi Zhan, daughter of a senior official in Beijing whose friends include senior Chinese officials. [Note that Citibank's investment arm, Citicorp Everbright, has a similar name, and Citibank Everbright has invested heavily in Nan Fang Pharmaceuticals, a subsidiary of Sanjiu Enterprises, linked to the People's Liberation Army of China.]

"$200,000 in Democratic campaign donations from this house!"

Must be the low property taxes.

Actually if you count Peter Tan (the agent for service of process for Internationl Capital Management Group), there are apparently seven adults living there and there are at least three businesses being operated out of that one car garage.

"Note to self: when looking for a Chinese family to front my large contributions to the Hillary Clinton for President campaign, make sure said Chinese family lives in a house that looks like this:

And not in a tiny green s-box that looks like this:"

That’s right. At the very very worst, she’ll have to give it back. In fact, she might do that tomorrow, just to show how honest she is.

And, she'll have it back by the weekend. In a manner and with names the WSJ doesn't know.

["Mr. Hsu, in an email last night wrote: "I have NEVER asked a single favor from any politician or any charity group. If I am NOT asking favors, why do I have to cheat...I've asked friends and colleagues of mine to give money out of their own pockets and sometimes they have agreed."]

["On four separate dates this year, the Paw family, Mr. Hsu and five of his associates gave Mrs. Clinton a total of $47,500. In all, the family, Mr. Hsu and his associates have given Mrs. Clinton $133,000 since 2005 and a total of nearly $720,000 to all Democratic candidates."]

Smoke. Fire.
