An angry credit union pyramid scam victim takes part in a demonstration outside the U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, while embassy officials watch from behind the gate on Friday, Aug. 30, 2002. The sign demands that victims be reimbursed and says they will "not accept the loss of one gourde" (the local currency). The demonstrators were demanding that the U.S., which returned President Jean-Bertrand Aristide to power with a military occupation called "Operation Restore Democracy" in 1994, remove him. In late July, Aristide promised that all pyramid victims would be reimbursed prior to the opening of the schools the first week of September. So far, 22,000 people have filed complaints.
