Post by: bijou on September 29, 2009, 04:30:18 PM

A former U.S. Democratic Party fundraiser whose 2007 arrest prompted Hillary Clinton to return $850,000 in campaign contributions was sentenced to more than 24 years in prison on Tuesday.

Hong Kong-born Norman Hsu, 58, was convicted in May by a jury in federal court in New York of violating election laws by making donations to political campaigns in other people's names. Hsu had earlier pleaded guilty to charges of mail fraud and wire fraud in running a Ponzi scheme of up to $60 million.

U.S. District Judge Victor Marrero sentenced him to a total of 292 months in prison, describing Hsu's Ponzi scheme as "striking at the very core of democracy." ...

All he has to do is give a few million to the "Obama Presidential Library" and a few more third party gontributions, plus a guarantee of 5 or 6 speeking engagements at $50,000 aclip and he's golden! :evillaugh: :banghead:

I'd like to see the break down of the sentencing.

Most of the time was probably for the Ponzi scheme.

I wonder how many are going to come to light now that he is locked up?

Hsu sentenced to 25 reassure like that idiot that shot our president. 

Anyone notice that white Collier criminals sent to prison are sent to special prisons.

The smart ones sent to regular prisons make sure they get in enough fights to have them sent to alliterative prisons. [for their own safty]

These alternative prisons have trailers parked on the back lot, nicely furnished heated and air conditioned so the prisoner can have his girl friend or wife spend the weekend every 3 weeks.

Congeal visits, sex and visits from family where as the people they killed have no such thing to look forward to.

White Collier have access to phone and computer, can continue to run their Empire from their room or on the golf course built to bring down the stress level of the convicts.

I do know a bit about about this as a cousin of mine makes $80.000 + from the state of Florida to visit prisons and coach the inmates in --GASP--Basketball.

It is no wonder the kids will say someone has gone on vacation.
