" It's his 'package bc it's not his money or his lines."

Is the agent in a loan shark operation similar to a runner in a gambling operation? Do the online gambling operation work largely the same way?

Do they only loan in the NYC area, or can someone take out a loan far away?

Sorry for all the questions, but loan sharks and online gambling are alien to me. I'm know for sure that there are bookies and loan sharks here, but not at this level.
