loan shark who preyed on the sick and poor, charging interest rates of up to 8,000 per cent, has been jailed in the first case of its kind.
Mark Johnson earned more than £800,000 from lending money at extortionate rates to vulnerable people on benefits, then threatening them when they could not pay up. He used the proceeds to buy a Pors-che and a BMW and was buying a £500,000 house when he was arrested.
