$50 Million Bail For Hsu “Ridiculous”?

J.J. Jackson* | September 16, 2007

That’s what the attorney for Norman Hsu claimed after he already tried to skip out on $2 million in bail

Grand Junction - Disgraced Democratic donor Yung Yuen “Norman” Hsu looked jittery as he made a video appearance from the Mesa County Jail on Thursday while a judge set his bail at $5 million and scheduled an extradition hearing for next week.Mesa County District Attorney Pete Hautzinger asked for $50 million bail, citing new allegations that Hsu has defrauded investors of more than $70 million in recent years. Hautzinger also pointed out that Hsu had a checkbook showing a $6 million balance when he was arrested in Grand Junction on Sept. 6.

But the attorney representing Hsu in the bail hearing, Eric Elliff of Denver, called the requested amount “ridiculous.”

No sir, what’s “ridiculous” is the fact that you even have a law license and that the judge even allowed a man who already skipped out on a hefty bail would even be given a chance to do it again. But then again, he’s a chum of the Clintons. So it’s not much of a surprise.
