I only need a little bitty bundle, but it looks like Mr. Hsu may need to dip deep into his checking account.

A Colorado judge has set bail at $5 million in cash for Democratic fundraiser Norman Hsu on a charge of grand theft.

Hsu, wanted in California on a 1991 grand theft case, appeared by video hookup at a hearing Thursday, one week after skipping a court date in San Francisco and showing up in Grand Junction on an Amtrak train so sick he had to be hospitalized.

[...]

His next court date is Sept. 19. His attorneys said Thursday that he won’t fight extradition to California.

District Attorney Pete Hautzinger had asked Judge Bruce Raaum for an unprecedented $50 million bail, noting that Hsu had skipped out on the hearing in California despite posting a $2 million bond.

“Two million wasn’t enough to keep Mr. Hsu from running,” Raaum said. “We’ll see if $5 million will do it.”

I was only going to ask him for $900 to get the car fixed. Oh well.

Anyone else?
