Asia's Underworld

Offering easy money with a quick loan, thousands in cash, no questions asked. But when a borrower can’t keep up with the payment terms, loan sharks strike mercilessly. Among the loan sharks’ weapons: blackmail, kidnapping, extortion and violence. Charging interest that is nothing short of criminal, these illegal moneylenders are fearless of the law. The violence escalates in the high profile case of the Krystal-9 gang of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, who ruthlessly chained up debtors and tortured them for months. Witness the havoc that loan sharks wreak on society with testimonies from politicians, victims, police and the loan sharks themselves.
