Fugitive fundraiser Norman Hsu has turned himself in to California authorities. He's being held on $2 million bond.Mr Hsu has been a big donor to Democratic political campaigns -- notably Sen Hillary Clinton (D-NY) and Sen Barack Obama (D-IL).
The former clothing executive has been on the lam since skipping out on sentencing for a grand theft charge in 1991.
After his name popped up in a review of campaign donations, Democrats scrambled to unload the cash they'd taken from him over the years.
Sen Clinton is dumping $23,000 from Mr Hsu collected over various campaigns. Sen Obama is dumping $7,000 given to his campaign and PAC. The Democratic Senatorial and House campaign committees are dumping a total of $45,800 they took from him.
All the money will go to charities. (CNN)
