Me too, lol.

I cannot believe that movie was nearly 20 years ago. Wow.

the no loan sharking to women is interesting and makes sense.

reminds me of an analogous situation... my friend's family used to go from canada to usa to shop for the day all the time - very common activity for canadians... they always have tons of stuff and the daily exemption is nothing. so they always sent 85 year-old grandma to do the talking. never paid duty.. grandma dies and now they get whacked all the time by customs/duty.

It's because of people like them that my annual interest rate is 16 percent. If it wasn't for them, it'd probably be only something like...12 percent.

hey do you still know the person because i am looking to get a loan today

You are misunderstanding what she wrote. What she meant was "I know [there must be] someone here [who] knows one or at least knows a bookie that would know one."

Moreover, if you read the whole thread, you will see that OP ultimately decided not to pursue a $3,500 loan from a loan shark. She realized, wisely, that her income of $1,800/month could not sustain interest payments of $1,400/month (10%/week x 4 weeks).

To sum up, 6-1/2 years ago, a young woman who was not a poker player and not a regular poster on this forum started a thread to try to find a loan shark; she didn't find one; and she ultimately decided that a loan shark would not solve her money problems but only compound them, so she dropped the idea. She has not been back since.
