Many are new immigrants, they work very hard for their money, so we can understand why they act this way." 17. Medium shot people at teller windows inside bank 18.

For the third successive day customers lined up outside a branch of Abacus Federal Savings Bank, which caters mainly for the Chinese community, after it tried to quell rumours that its former manager was being investigated for involvement in "account irregularity." The employee in question was fired, but has not been arrested. Vera Sung, the head of the bank's legal department, said the case had been turned over to the FBI. The FBI has not commented on the case. Sung said her main task now was to reassure customers - who have withdrawn more than 2 (m) million dollars (US) - that their holdings were secure and to make sure that people could withdraw their money safely. Some customers said on Thursday that they were not concerned initially, but added that long delays at the bank were making them nervous. Catherine Chen, an immigrant from the Fujian province, said she had been coming to the bank since on Tuesday because she needed to get her passport from a safety deposit box. The institution is federally insured, meaning that every depositor would be insured up to 100,000 dollars (US) if the bank failed.
