Suice Loan Aid Mobs Open Own Credit Bureau
Crime syndicate loan sharks in Chicago have launched a credit information bureau as of January 1. Prospective victims can dial a phone number to see if they previously borrowed from underworld lenders and whether they are currently on the hook or have a good repayment record. The top crime syndicate council reportedly faces internal turmoil over a ring cheating on reported profits. The bureau acts as added security against clients skimming payments by borrowing from multiple sharks. Clerical workers are compiling three months of data for the files, expanding the mob’s clearing house beyond legitimate lending practices.
