Disgraced HillRaiser Norman Hsu is going to wait for his case while his lawyers do "research." It seems Mr. Hsu is in no hurry to get his case heard:
Gaunt and glancing nervously at reporters, disgraced Democratic moneyman Norman Hsu appeared in a California court yesterday and agreed to spend another 10 weeks behind bars while his lawyers do "research."
The surprise delay raised eyebrows because Hsu's lawyers had filed motions asking the court to refund the $2 million bail he skipped out on in September and toss his 1992 fraud conviction altogether.
The postponement could signal anything from plea deal discussions to a ploy to fend off federal prosecutors in New York, who recently accused Hsu of a separate $60 million Ponzi scheme, one expert said.
"We're doing more research. These things take time," Hsu's lawyer, James Brosnahan, said after the judge postponed the case until Jan. 4.
Columbia law Prof. Daniel Richman said California and New York authorities could be in "some sort of negotiation toward a global resolution" of Hsu's cases.
"It might also serve [Hsu's] purposes to stall until the presidential campaign is over," Richman said.
Are you sure it just serves Hsu's purposes, Mr. Richman? Wouldn't it also serve Clinton, Inc., who are bearing financial scandal after scandal, especially as it relates to being bought and paid for by Chinese dishwashers and people whose incomes should not be able to support such giving? I smell some collaboration with Clinton Inc. Maybe in exchange for delaying, Hsu will be able to get a pardon, or just sent back to China to report back to his ChiCom or Triad masters. We here at WMD have been profiling the interesting links between Clinton Inc. and the Chinese Triads and the Chinese Communist Government.
I still have a question: where is Winkie Paw?
