Abacus: Small Enough to Jail (full documentary)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKPa4OIVN4U

This Academy Award-nominated documentary, directed by Steve James (Hoop Dreams), tells the little-known story of the only U.S. bank prosecuted in relation to the 2008 financial crisis. (Aired 2017)

In “Abacus: Small Enough to Jail,” acclaimed director Steve James tells the saga of the Sungs, a Chinese-American family who own and operate Abacus Federal Savings Bank in New York’s Chinatown.

In 2009, the Sungs fired a loan officer after they discovered fraud. They reported the fraud to law enforcement, but soon found themselves and the bank under scrutiny. Two and half years later, Abacus Federal Savings Bank and two senior officers were accused of mortgage fraud by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, making it the only U.S. bank prosecuted in relation to the 2008 financial crash and the first bank indicted in New York since 1991.

Nominated for an Oscar in the Best Documentary Feature category in 2018, the documentary follows how the indictment and subsequent trial forced the Sung family to defend themselves — and their bank’s legacy in the Chinatown community — over the course of a five-year legal battle.
