 <title>Hsu Skips Court Appearance</title>
 <link>http://www.observer.com/2007/hsu-skips-court-appearance</link>
 <description><![CDATA[<!--paging_filter--><p>Democratic donor Norman Hsu, who turned himself in to authorities last week, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/05/us/05cnd-hsu.html?hp" target="_blank">skipped out on bail</a> in California today.</p>
<p> Hsu had raised money for Hillary Clinton, and donated directly to a slew of New York politicians, who, upon hearing of Hsu’s criminal problems, got rid of <a href="/2007/quinn-returning-hsu-money" target="_blank">Hsu&#39;s money</a>.</p>
<p>UPDATE: Recently, another tainted Clinton bundler, <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/09/02/AR2007090201436.html?hpid%3Dtopnews&amp;sub=AR" target="_blank">Sant Chatwal</a>, made ews for raising tons of money while owing millions of dollars in taxes here and loans to overseas banks. Chatwal, according to federal records, contributed only $6,000 to federal campaigns, including $2,000 to Rep. Joe Crowley, and another $2,000 to the Democratic Congressional Campaign. </p>]]></description>

 <description><![CDATA[<!--paging_filter--><p>Christine Quinn is returning a $4,950 contribution she received from controversial donor Norman Hsu, a spokesman for her campaign, Mark Guma, told me.</p>
<p>  Hsu <a href="http://www.nyccfb.info/scripts/pbcgi60.exe/cfbweb/uo_cfb_page_2_report/uf_base?as_election_cycles=+&amp;as_all_elections=Y&amp;as_election_cycle_string=all&amp;as_elec_cycle_array=none&amp;as_transaction_type=cont&amp;as_all_cands=Y&amp;as_cand_count=0&amp;as_cand_array=none&amp;as_int_exact_1=C&amp;as_int_exact_2=B&amp;as_int_exact_3=B&amp;as_int_exact_4=B&amp;as_int_exact_5=B&amp;as_last_1=hsu&amp;as_first_1=norman&amp;as_emp_cont_1=C&amp;as_emp_cont_2=C&amp;as_emp_cont_3=C&amp;as_emp_cont_4=C&amp;as_emp_cont_5=C&amp;as_exact_1=C&amp;as_exact_2=B&amp;as_exact_3=B&amp;as_exact_4=B&amp;as_exact_5=B&amp;as_sort_order=dat&amp;as_int_ext=EXT&amp;as_from_page=3-REPORT" target="_blank">also contributed</a> to Anthony Weiner and Bill Thompson, who along with Quinn, are eyeing a possible race for mayor in 2009. Spitzer has decided to <a href="/2007/spitzer-refunding-hsu-money" target="_blank">return</a> contributions he received from Hsu as has Hillary Clinton.
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>UPDATE: An aide to Weiner said the congressman will return Hsu&#39;s contributions. An aide to Thompson said Hsu&#39;s contribution will be donated to charity. A campaign aide to John Liu said they refunded Hsu&#39;s contribution last night.</p>
<p>UPDATE: Andrew Cuomo’s director of communications said the Hsu contributions received by Cuomo would be donated to charity. An aide to the Manhattan District Attorney said Hsu’s contributions would be either donated to charity or refunded.</p>]]></description>
