Abacus: Small Enough to Jail (2017)

88 minutes EN Documentario
The incredible saga of the Chinese immigrant Sung family, owners of Abacus Federal Savings of Chinatown, New York. Accused of mortgage fraud by Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., Abacus becomes the only U.S. bank to face criminal charges in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. The indictment and subsequent trial forces the Sung family to defend themselves – and their bank’s legacy in the Chinatown community – over the course of a five-year legal battle.

"E' stato come per le volpi avere l'accesso all'interno del pollaio", dice uno degli intervistati descrivendo l'operato degli executives delle società finanziarie dopo la deregulation iniziata da Reagan. È un resoconto, spietato, di quanta avidità e mancanza di scrupoli ci siano dietro la crisi finanziaria che ha provocato, a partire dal 2008, la perdita di milioni di posti di lavoro. Una ricostruzione, sconcertante, dei rapporti tra strutture finanziarie e membri dell'esecutivo, delle dannose conseguenze dei conflitti di interesse - ci ricorda qualcosa? - nei rapporti tra mercato e governo.
