Norman Hsu Indicted

Will this federal indictment in New York shake loose whatever plea deal Hsu's legal team has been "researching" ever since winning a postponement of the California proceedings?

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.

Via Michelle, here's a copy of the indictment (pdf).
