Hsu Handcuffed

A top Democratic fundraiser wanted as a fugitive in California turned himself in Friday to face a grand theft charge.

San Mateo County Superior Court Judge H. James Ellis ordered Norman Hsu handcuffed and held on $2 million bond. A bail hearing was scheduled for Sept. 5, at which the judge will consider reducing his bail to $1 million.

Hsu appeared in court accompanied by a lawyer and publicist, both of whom declined to say whether the New York apparel executive would immediately post bail. A warrant was issued for his arrest after he skipped the sentencing for a 1991 grand theft charge.

Hsu has been a top fundraiser for a ton of Democrats, including Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Al Franken, and was even named a trustee at the New School in New York City by former Senator and Presidential candidate Bob Kerrey.

The biggest question remains where did all Hsu's money come from and how does the Paw family figure into this. None appear to have the means to make all this money and donate it, so how exactly was that money made.

A bunch of candidates have already said that they would donate funds provided by Hsu, but someone needs to keep tabs to see if the hundreds of thousands of dollars funneled into Democrat campaigns is accounted for.

UPDATE:
Flip has broken down the numbers on Hsu's contributions to the Democrats across the country, along with those contributions funneled into Democrat campaigns and committees by Hsu. They're pretty staggering - and include candidates across the country.
