Former Democratic Party Fundraiser Norman Hsu Pleads Guilty in Federal Fraud Case
Norman Hsu, 56, is escorted into a Redwood City, Calif., courtorom, Friday, Sept. 21, 2007. Hsu on Tuesday was charged with fraud and campaign finance violations in a case that prompted Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton to return hundreds of thousands of dollars in contribution
Norman Hsu pled guilty today to ten seperate federal fraud charges.Hsu, 58, entered his plea today in Manhattan federal court. In 1991, he pleaded no contest in California and was convicted of grand theft for stealing $1 million from investors in a scheme to buy and resell latex gloves. He failed to appear for sentencing and spent 15 years as a fugitive. He was re-arrested in 2007 and sentenced to prison by a California judge.
In the intervening years, Hsu raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for Democratic candidates and party committees, including then-U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton, the Democrat from New York and former presidential candidate who is now U.S. secretary of state, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a Washington-based research group.
Hillary Clinton and the numerous other Democratic POLS got offf easy in the Hsu case by simply refunding the money. However, the scrutiny of Democrat political donors has been enhanced and the media is no longer content with sitting back and not following the money.

Charles Manson Follower Susan Atkins Denied Compassionate Release
Charles Manson followers Leslie Van Houton, Susan Atkins and Patricia Krenwinkel
Today a California state parole board denied Charles Manson follower and convicted murderer of Sharon Tate and her baby “compassionate release.”
If you recall, Atkins was the killer who wrote the word “PIG” in Tate’s blood on the front door of the home shared by the actress and her husband, Roman Polanski.
Here is the graphic photo of Sharon Tate’s death:
Remember Susan Atkins famously told a sobbing and begging Sharon Tate prior to her murder and mutilation, “Look bitch, I have no mercy for you.”
The California Parole Board made the RIGHT decision.Susan Atkins should remain incarcerated for the rest of her natural life.
Look BITCH, the people of California have NO MERCY for you.
Update:
Bob, a commenter has written about his experiences with Susan Atkins and Charles Manson. Here is his photo which goes along with his fascinating story. Please read below.

The Case of Dentist Roy S. Shelburne
Dr. Roy S Shelburne and dental student (VCU) son Ross
Ok, what the FRAK is going on with this case?
The press release of the dentist’s indictment is here.
United States Attorney John L. Brownlee and Virginia Attorney General Bob McDonnell announced today that Roy Silas Shelburne, age 51, of Pennington Gap, Virginia, was indicted by a federal Grand Jury sitting in Abingdon, Virginia.
Shelburne was charged in an eight count indictment with racketeering, healthcare fraud, mail fraud, wire fraud, money laundering, and interstate transportation of monies taken by fraud after a joint investigation by the Virginia Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, the Internal Revenue Service, and the United States Attorney’s Office.
“The Grand Jury has charged that Roy Shelburne was lining his own pockets by over billing Medicaid. Time after time, Medicaid was billed for services not performed, or services that were not needed,†said United States Attorney John Brownlee. “Shelburne gave no thought to the needs or the quality of care provided to his patients. In some cases, the work that was done was performed in such a manner that it was the equivalent of having no dental services performed at all.â€
A press account of Dr. Shelburne’s conviction is here.
United States Attorney John L. Brownlee and Virginia Attorney General Bob McDonnell announced today that Roy Silas Shelburne, age 51, of Pennington Gap, Virginia, was found guilty today by a federal jury in Abington, Virginia, on all ten felony charges.
“Roy Shelburne acted in a cruel and inhumane manner by performing unnecessary and extremely painful dental procedures on children. Shelburne’s criminal conduct towards these poor families and young foster children is one of the worst cases of abuse and fraud I have seen in my many years in law enforcement,†U.S. Attorney John L. Brownlee said today. “I am grateful that this jury held Mr. Shelburne responsible for his crimes. My thanks and gratitude go out to all the state and federal agents and prosecutors who worked tirelessly to bring the defendant to justice.â€
Key Graphs:
- Beginning in 1998, Shelburne, who was a licensed dentist with a practice in Pennington Gap, executed a scheme to maximize his practice’s income by over billing insurance carriers and Medicaid for services that were never performed and for services that were performed, but not medically necessary.
- In addition, Shelburne directed his employees to bill patients for services that were never performed or that were unnecessary. All of the patients Shelburne falsely billed were low income, underage patients who were recipients of Medicaid. A portion of the underage patients were residents of the Harvest Child Care Ministries group home.
- According to the evidence presented at trial, Shelburne would “upcode†the bills for some of his patients. “Upcoding†is the process of performing one procedure but billing for a different procedure, one which requires a higher payment from Medicaid and private health insurance providers. In some cases, Shelburne would submit bills for services that were incomplete or medically unnecessary. At times, he performed services that endangered the health of his patients.
- On several occasions Shelburne billed both Medicaid and private health insurance companies for services he performed in connection with a single procedure, collected money from both agencies and failed to reimburse either for the fraudulent fees he collected. Many times this created credit balances on the patients account that, according to his employees, Shelburne would simply “zero out†without reimbursing Medicaid.
- According to the evidence presented at trial, Shelburne submitted at least 115 false billing statements by mail. The defendant took part of the fraudulently obtained funds and transferred them into a retirement account in Illinois. The evidence showed that Shelburne used some of the funds to build a new home known to his employees as the “Cavity Castle,†purchase luxury vehicles for himself and his family, and took his family on cruises that were deducted on his books as board expenses. In addition, he put his three children on the company payroll when, according to his employees, they provided no services. The salaries paid to the children were deducted as business expenses. Shelburne used part of the fraudulently obtained funds to pay his salary, purchase dental supplies and pay rent for his business and equipment.
- In addition, Shelburne was convicted of structuring cash deposits at both BB&T Bank and Rick Hill Imports, a luxury car dealership, in an attempt to evade the currency transaction reporting requirements. With the structured funds, he contemporaneously purchased a used 2006 Mercedes SUV and a new 2006 Mercedes SLK coupe in the names of family members.
- On cross-examination, Shelburne testified that the structured funds were part of a cash horde that he had accumulated to hide assets from investigators.
But, now various “CLOSED – MEMBERSHIP ONLY” Dentist forums are ablaze with righteous indignation over Dr. Shelburne’s conviction. He is currently on bail awaiting sentencing on June 16th.
A Florida dentist, Dr. Mike Barr has created a website to plead Dr.Shelburne’s case: Errant Medicaid Investigation Ruins Good Dentist.
So, what is the story?
Has there been a breakdown in the criminal justice system? Or is this merely a plea by a convicted felon that he did not commit the crimes? Or a convicted criminal attempting to drum up sympathy for a lighter sentence, new trial or a verdict set aside?
Dr. Shelburne WAS indicted by a Federal Grand Jury and convicted by a jury. Yet, he and other dentists claim in numerous posts on the “closed sites” that he was treated unfairly?
Stay tuned…….

California Executions May Resume By the End of 2008
In this photo released of Benjamin Vaughn, lower right, with his great uncle Clarence Ray Allen, lower left, and Allen’s son Roger Allen, upper left, and his wife, Dell Ray Allen, upper right, inside San Quentin Prison in San Quentin, Calif., Monday, Jan. 16, 2006, before the execution of Allen. Allen, 76, was sentenced to death for ordering the slaying of three people at a Fresno, Calif., market while he was behind bars in 1980 for another murder. The last California execution.
California lethal injection executions may resume by the end of the year.Executions in California may resume by the end of the year — with one inmate being put to death by lethal injection each month — as a result of today’s Supreme Court ruling, a high-level state prosecutor said.
Chief Assistant Atty. Gen. Dane Gillette, who has defended the state’s lethal injection procedures against a federal court challenge, said he believes it is “certainly feasible” to resume executions by the end of the year.
U.S. District Judge Jeremy Fogel in San Jose had ordered a temporary halt to executions in California after finding the state’s lethal injection procedures were unconstitutional. A decision by Fogel on whether a new execution protocol by the state meets constitutional requirements is pending.
A hearing in the case has been set for June, but Gillette said it may be moved up as a result of today’s high court ruling. The state plans to ask Fogel to lift his court order and permit executions to resume.
Even if Fogel rules quickly for the state, another legal challenge pending in a California appellate court will prevent the state from executing inmates immediately. Gillette said the state would press for a quick resolution in that case, which was unaffected by the Supreme Court decision.
Resuming executions this year “means a lot of things falling our way, but I think that is entirely possible,” Gillette said.
Federal Judge Jeremy Fogel’s ruling was CRAP and now the Supremes have overturned a bogus attempt to end capital punishment by lethal injection in this country.
The San Quentin “OLD” execution chamber has been remodeled and an updated execution protocol will be adjusted in accordance with today’s U.S. Supreme Court holdings.
Michale Morales has been in prison for over twenty-seven years for the brutal murder by claw-hammer and knife of Terri Lyn Winchell. Morales raped her in the dirt after hitting her in the head 23 times with a claw hammer. He then stabbled her four times to make sure she was dead.
This bastard has been duly convicted of his crimes in a California court of law and the sentence imposed by the court is death.
Morales will be the next to die for his crimes.
Time for justice for Terri Lynn Winchell.
“I will continue to defend the death penalty and the will of the people, and I am confident that California’s lethal injection protocol will be upheld,” Schwarzenegger said.
Governor, it is time for your office to enforce the law of California as voted into law by the people of California in 1978.
Stay tuned……….

Michael Morales Watch: US Supreme Court Upholds Lethal Injection Executions
The United States Supreme Court upheld the use of lethal injection executions this morning.The Supreme Court upheld Kentucky’s use of lethal injection executions Wednesday.
The justices, by a 7-2 vote, turned back a constitutional challenge to the procedures in place in Kentucky, which uses three drugs to sedate, paralyze and kill inmates.
“We … agree that petitioners have not carried their burden of showing that the risk of pain from maladministration of a concededly humane lethal injection protocol, and the failure to adopt untried and untested alternatives, constitute cruel and unusual punishment,” Chief Justice John Roberts said in an opinion that garnered only three votes. Four other justices, however, agreed with the outcome.
So, let’s get on with the execution of Michael Morales. Certainly, the State of California has finished upgrading the death chamber at San Quentin?
Remember his victim, Terri Lynn Winchell?

Day By Day by Chris Muir January 9, 2008
Is the money continuing to pour into your coffers, Chris? Good for you.
Now, that the pundits and polls were outlandishly wrong in writing off Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire, the Norman Hsu scandal will live on with a renewed Hillary campaign.
Although Hsu has been sentenced to prison in California, Flap believes the Federal investigation will come back and bite Hillary and other California politicians in the ass.

American Al Qaeda’s Adam Gadahn Threatens Bush
[youtube]http://youtube.com/watch?v=s87cLZ5V8F8[/youtube]
Video courtesy of MEMRI TV.
California-born Al Qaeda member Adam Gadahn called on his fellow terrorists to greet President Bush with “bombs and booby-trapped vehicles” when Bush travels to the Middle East this week.
You remember Gadahn who is wanted in the USA for treason/aiding terrorists and faces the death penalty when convicted.
Rudy Giuliani said last week that the United States should redouble its efforts in Afghanistan and bring Osama bin Laden to justice. Flap can think of nothing better strategically in accomplishing a victory in the war on terror than bring Osama, Gadahn, et. al. back to the United States to stand trial and for execution.
And, Gadahn, your symbolic destruction of your American passport was weak. America will not require a passport for your return. We gladly welcome your return in shackles.

Hillary Clinton Fundraiser Norman Hsu Sentenced to Three Years in Prison
As if last night’s third place finish in the Iowa Democrat Causcus wasn’t bad enough, Democrat and Hillary Clinton fundraiser Norman Hsu was sentenced today to three years in prison.
His troubles began dogging Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and other big-name Democrats last summer when news reports revealed he was a fugitive who fled the state before he was sentenced for the 1992 fraud conviction. He turned himself in on Aug. 31 — then fled again.
Federal corruption charges in New York are still pending.
Don’t be surprised if Rudy Giuliani mentions this tomorrow night at the GOP debate – Corruption in Democrat Campaigns.

Norman Hsu Watch: INDICTED on 15 Counts
Norman Hsu, 56, is escorted into a Redwood City, Calif., courtorom, Friday, Sept. 21, 2007. Hsu on Tuesday was charged with fraud and campaign finance violations in a case that prompted Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton to return hundreds of thousands of dollars in contributions.
Flap told you that this sotry would rear its UGLY HEAD when Hillary Clinton was in the thick of Presidential politics.
Today, Norman Hsu was indicted by a federal Grand Jury and was accused of cheating investors of at least $60 million and using some of the money to to make illegal donations to political campaigns. In the 15-count indictment returned in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, the government accused the 56-year-old clothing-industry entrepreneur of duping investors nationwide with a massive Ponzi scheme. The government said Hsu also violated federal campaign finance laws by making contributions to various political candidates in the names of others.
The indictment charges Hsu, 56, with six counts of mail fraud, six counts of wire fraud and three counts of violating the Federal Election Campaign Act, which limits individual campaign contributions.
If convicted, Hsu could face 20 years in prison on each fraud charge and five years on each campaign finance charge, as well as fines, U.S. Attorney Michael Garcia said.
Will this indictment affect the Hillary Clinton Presidential campaign?
Probably not – she returned the money. But every time it is mentioned in the press it reminds voters of the sleazy conduct of her husband and former President Bill (remember Charlie Trie).
Norman Hsu and Senator Hillary Clinton
Although there my be a plea deal in the state of California, these “new” federal charges will, if Hsu is convicted, likely send him to prison for many years – unless he gives up something to federal prosecutors in return for a federal plea deal.
Might Hillary and other Democrat politicians have cause to be worried?
Perhaps
There are other legs to the Chinese connection for the Clintons to be concerned:
- Since former President Bill Clinton has not released the list of donors to his Presidential Library, might Hsu and his Chinese minions somehow be linked to donations there?
- And, if there is a growing federal criminal investigation into the New York City Chinese immigrant donations to Hillary’s campaign, there will be plenty of stories for her campaign to deflect.
Stay tuned……
