Democratic Fundraiser, Norman Hsu is Indicted in New York



NEW YORK (AP)  -- A federal grand jury on Tuesday indicted Norman Hsu, a top Democratic fundraiser accused of cheating investors of at least $20 million and using some of the money 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.
