Abacus: Small Enough to Jail (2016)
Abacus brought this entire thing on themselves
This is a well-constructed documentary. You may even enjoy watching it. But I found it incredibly frustrating because *none* of this ever would've happened if Vera Sung hadn't told one of her bank's customers -- who objected to losing a significant downpayment as a result of one of her employee's actions -- to file a complaint at the *police precinct*.
(You can see this scene at about 13:30 in the Frontline version.)
By treating this couple as criminal co-conspirators instead of customers, Vera Sung brought this entire thing on her and her family. It's really that simple. And it's unfortunate this fact is completely lost on both the Sungs and the documentarian.
Years of litigation and a $10 million defense is perhaps a bit steep of a karma price tag, but not far off.
