We want our money, but we want our money!

It's 1991 and Rhode Island is in the midst of a banking crisis.

Dozens of state banks and credit unions have failed.

Accounts are frozen and people are cut off from their money.

I'm a physical wreck. I'm a physical wreck.

Because of this? That's right. It's destroying my life.

And even worse, there are rumors that well-connected politicians and bankers got their money out before the crash.

Senator John Korea, who has a lawmaker, has been accused of having a conflict of interest

and as a board member has been accused of getting insider treatment for loans.

Thousands of people march on the state capital.

I can't believe that you can stand in and tell me that you didn't know what was going on.

You were already in a board in the wreck. I find that not what I believe.

You will say you have your money up there in the credit union with us!

Correct? Let me say your bank book so I can believe you because I already told believe you!

Show me your bank book! I want to say something about it!

The crisis came as a shock for most people.

But there was one person who actually predicted that all this would happen.

Let me say from the outstop that we in Rhode Island had been distop a steady stream of corruption in the state.

Arlene Violet is a former Rhode Island attorney general.

And according to her, the banking crisis was caused by the network.

Who is the network? The network in Rhode Island is just like organized crime except for one thing.

They make what they do legal.
