Hillcare fundraiser, and alleged money bundler, Norman Hsu was captured in a Colorado Hospital.
San Jose Mercury News reports :
Norman Hsu’s quickly jumpstarted life on the lam came to a screeching stop less than 48 hours after it began when he got sick on the California Zephyr and was nabbed after being rushed to a Colorado hospital, according to the FBI.
The prolific Democratic fundraiser and fugitive was busted at 7 p.m. Mountain Daylight Time by FBI agents from the Denver office, according to Special Agent Joseph M. Schadler in the FBI’s San Francisco office.
He was still in St. Mary’s Hospital in Grand Junction – 250 miles west of Denver – Thursday evening, according to Pete Smarr, a nursing supervisor. Smarr declined to say what Hsu was suffering from – other than to report him in custody and in “fair” condition.
Hsu was traveling on Train #6, according to Cliff Cole, an Amtrak spokesman. Hsu boarded the train in Emeryville and was scheduled to get off the train in Denver, Cole said. Cole had no information as to who – if anyone – Hsu may have been traveling with.
Hsu was arrested on federal charges of unlawful flight to avoid prosecution, according to a statement released Thursday night by the FBI.
He will at some point be returned to California to be sentenced in San Mateo Superior Court in connection with his 1991 conviction, according to the release.
After Hsu is returned to state custody, the FBI added, federal charges are expected to be dismissed. The FBI credited help in the high profile bust to Grand Junction police, the Mesa County Sheriff’s Office, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the U.S. State Department Diplomatic Security Service.
Hsu had fled the law for the second time by skipping out on a Wednesday court date – and $2 million bail – in Redwood City.

Amtrak spokesman says Hsu was “scheduled to get off in Denver” – wonder what angle that puts on all this ?
Just like Vince Foster, don’t you think the Hillary (Manchurian Candidate) Clinton’s camp won’t be out to “get” Norman Hsu before he can spill his guts to the Feds? I think Hsu found out that his “one way” train trip was more one way than he thought. Something happened on that train to cause Hsu to “freak out” just to get off that train and seek protection as fast as he could. The Clinton political machine probably considers him “a dead man walking”. Jail has never protected the Clinton’s “problem people” in the past. Too bad, I was really going to be looking forward to all the dirty laundry (pun) that Hsu was going to spill.
