| 0:06.7 | I'm having a little issue. I lost my husband in 2008 and got a settlement because he died |
| 0:15.9 | in a work accident and had a family friend who was a trust officer at a regional bank and offered to |

| 0:39.3 | Yeah, she had about $8 million in the accounts and there was nothing. |
| 0:45.3 | So I just recently received a malpractice settlement for $531,000, and it took me two weeks to even put it in the bank because I was scared to let go of the check. |
| 1:01.3 | Sure. |

| 2:09.3 | Wow. Is he in prison now? Where is this guy? He's in Florida right now, and we found out |
