Clinton eHsuing Returns

Hillary Clinton's campaign is slowly churning out refunds of tainted money scooped up by Norman Hsu and his strawmen. The problem is that they've only returned about 40% of the total, and those who are receiving the returns may not even be the rightful owners. Slip notes:
It's also important to remember that any of these Clinton donors who were reimbursed by Norman Hsu for such donations (allegedly with funds Hsu swindled out of unwitting investors) are not the legitimate owners of those funds. Hundreds of investors in New York and California who allege Hsu bilked them out of more than $60 million are the primary aggrieved parties to any such swindling. Clinton's refunds, however partial, represent only the first step in returning such funds to their rightful owners.
Let's not forget that Hillary would like to see that money re-donated to her campaign and has made those intentions known in the past.

For her, this whole mess is nothing more than an accounting issue. For me (and Flip and many others), it's an accountability issue.
