Loan sharking is an illegal lending practice that preys on vulnerable individuals by offering quick cash loans at exorbitant interest rates, often without requiring collateral or credit checks. Borrowers, typically those unable to access traditional financial services, find themselves trapped in cycles of debt due to compounded interest and impossible repayment terms. Loan sharks use psychological manipulation, intimidation, and, in many cases, physical violence to enforce repayments, making it nearly impossible for borrowers to escape their financial obligations. This predatory practice has deep roots in history, often tied to organized crime, with operations expanding from local neighborhoods to international syndicates.
Despite significant legal efforts, such as the RICO Act, to combat loan sharking, the practice persists and has evolved in modern times. Digital platforms and cryptocurrency have opened new avenues for loan sharks to reach unsuspecting borrowers, complicating law enforcement efforts. During the COVID-19 pandemic, economic hardships fueled a resurgence in loan sharking, with small businesses and individuals seeking desperate measures to stay afloat. Law enforcement agencies continue to adapt their strategies to tackle this age-old but ever-evolving form of financial exploitation.
