Abacus: Small Enough to Jail

Following the subprime mortgage crisis of 2008, only one financial institution actually faced criminal charges, and that family-owned Chinatown bank is the focus of this film. The documentary features interviews with the Sung family and other past and present employees of Abacus Federal Savings Bank, shedding light on Chinese American business dealings that served as the foundation for the bank, as well as the five-year legal battle that followed Abacus' indictment and subsequent trial.
