Until recently, Norman Hsu was a trustee of good standing at New York’s New School.
University president Bob Kerrey defended Hsu against the early criticism. But first it was revealed that Hsu had an outstanding arrest warrant for a 1991 fraud charge and then Hsu skipped a court date in California.
“I thought that I knew him,” Kerrey told the New York Times. “But obviously I didn’t.”

The Hillary Rodham Clinton campaign announced yesterday that it would give to charity $23,000 received from Norman Hsu, a major Democratic supporter who has an outstanding arrest warrant for a 1991 fraud charge. Campaign officials pledged to review thousands of dollars in other donations from Hsu.
California authorities said Hsu left the state in 1992 after pleading no contest and agreeing to serve up to three years in prison for defrauding investors. Hsu now lives in New York, where he is in the apparel business. On campaign finance reports, he lists his companies as Next Components, Dilini Management, Cool Planets, NBT and others.
