Dewey's probe shocks New York loan racketeers
Prosecutor Thomas E. Dewey led a sweeping raid against a $1,000,000-a-week loan racket in Manhattan. About 15 squads arrested 27 alleged usurers known as six for five boys, the operation targeting usurious practices, strong arm tactics, and intimidation. Victims, including WPA workers and clerks, described high interest, violence, and kidnappings as investigators uncovered the open air lending network linked to parks and street fronts.
