The project failed and Jim McDougal bought a small savings and loan association, and, according to Vox "renamed it Madison Guaranty, and defrauded both it and the small-business investment firm Capital Management Services to the tune of $3 million."
The Clintons came under investigation after it was alleged they were involved in the defrauding.
