No shirt, no what?
No seriously. I know the Hsu case is getting weirder by the day, but I couldn't make up some of these details if I tried: Fugitive Democratic donor Norman Hsu's behavior on a train he hopped last week resembled a drug smuggler or someone having a heart attack, fellow passengers on the train reported.And that's on top of the "Shrimpboy" saga: Another aspect of the case that came to light recently has been the shady characters from Hsu's past who he tapped for money along the way. One of these was perhaps the most notorious gang leader in Chinatown during the 1990's:Probably getting some acting lessons for the no-shirt-no-shoes, "hsuitcase" full-of-crack-or-meth routine. (It sounds silly but I'm not writing these stories; just misspelling them. Annyway, how ridiculous is this supposed to get before it gets normal?)Raymond Kwok Chow, alias "Shrimp Boy," is one of Hsu's known associates. He was notorious gangster in Chinatown in the early 1990's, at roughly the same time when state prosecutors say Norman Hsu started his ponzi scheme with his latex gloves business. Chow says he is now clean, and spoke with us about his relationship with Norman Hsu.Is Chow, in fact, "clean" as he says? Many in Chinatown finger him as the perpetrator of a brutal murder just last year. Regardless, what would Hsu be doing hooking up with this gangster? As I keep saying, there'll be plenty more Hsus to tap. UPDATE: My thanks to Clayton Cramer for linking this post! posted by Eric on 09.09.07 at 10:52 PM |
