criminal or immoral enterprises generated the capital that they then would lend to others (especially goyim) at predatory interest rates. > why didn't anyone just bash them on the head and take their money?  why don't people just bash their drug dealer over the head and take his stash? because that stash will eventually run out and then you're strung out. jews had (and still have) a transnational network that continually generated more wealth via immoral means. you can always keep borrowing from them, and they're more than happy to keep lending you more.
