From the article:

It isn't obvious how the Paw family is able to afford such political largess. Records show they own a gift shop and live in a 1,280-square-foot house that they recently refinanced for $270,000. William Paw, the 64-year-old head of the household, is a mail carrier with the U.S. Postal Service who earns about $49,000 a year, according to a union representative. Alice Paw, also 64, is a homemaker. The couple's grown children have jobs ranging from account manager at a software company to "attendance liaison" at a local public high school. One is listed on campaign records as an executive at a mutual fund.
Not exactly low paying jobs, now are they? Combined with what I see in my professional life (I deal with many asian business owners), that asians as a rule tend to be able to save way more money than their white counterparts given the same level of income, and also tend to spend much more of their money on philanthropic/political causes than us whities, this doesn't seem to be such a smoking gun to me.

Granted, it's a bit of an anomaly, but I am inclined to agree with this:

Lawrence Barcella, a Washington attorney representing Mr. Hsu, said in a separate email: "You are barking up the wrong tree. There is no factual support for this story and if Mr. Hsu's name was Smith or Jones, I don't believe it would be a story."
