Abstract

"Politics + Other Mistakes" piece detailing the story of California businessman Norman Hsu, whose criminal past recently came to light. In 1991, Hsu, who has made sizable political donations to Democratic candidates, pleaded no contest to charges of grand theft for defrauding investors of $1 million. Democrats who got money from Hsu have been scrambling to send the money back or donate it to charity. Rep. Tom Allen, D-Maine, received $1,000 from Hsu and returned the money the day the story broke. Allen also received $3,000 from friends of Hsu's, though the Allen campaign has no plans to return that money.
