The Shortest Possible Game of Monopoly

Would you believe four turns?  (And if you don't, make sure you read the comments for even more inspired ideas!)

We started to wonder about what the shortest THEORETICALLY POSSIBLE game
of Monopoly would be. That is, if everything went just the right way,
with just the right sequence of rolls, Chance and Community Chest cards,
and so on, what is the quickest way one player could go bankrupt?
After working on the problem for a while, we boiled it down to
a 4-turn (2 per player), 9 roll (including
doubles) game. Detail on each move given below. If executed quickly
enough, this theoretical game can be played in 21 seconds (see video
below).
