Is that accurate ? A way to maneuver around usury interest rate laws . I think NY is 30% annually like NJ

It could be a pre-emptive measure. NY and NJ were among the first states to deregulate PayDay loans.

My gut feeling is that as soon as the Feds have the resources to spare, they'll make the PayDay loans illegal across the board, and even the "friendly" offshore islands will be prohibited from making them.

And that's when small time shylocking will reappear (50 a week for 13 weeks on a five hundred dollar loan). That's a give or take number, by the way. But you know what I mean. And the Feds will start breaking balls there again.

This shit is a revolving door. It evolves, but the Feds are never that far behind. Like you say, a seventy-year-old goombah is still a better headline than a raghead shoe-bomber.


Wow it keeps coming back up !

Your last sentence PB is dead on. And they will continue to reap the headlines and the dollar signs..
I posted this in a other thread.
Mayor Giuliani is cashing in on the mafia ,as he calls it.
He is heading a series special that will run for weeks or months ? It will air on A&E and it starts soon ,and he says how he brought down the mafia.
