There is no way to enforce that he is even truthfully disclosing the terms to the borrowers. It It's pretty sick how pervasive this whole tea party "blame the poor for being poor" attitude has become these days. This guy is a blatant criminal who is taking advantage of both the poverty of the people taking his loans and the poverty of the tribes that he is operating through to funnel piles of cash to himself in direct contradiction of state and federal laws. And you're going to cheer him for it? Whatever happened to people looking out for each other, and bringing shame upon those who don't?
I'm not cheering him for it at all, but I think people should be allowed to make their own bad decisions.
Looking out for one another (to me) means loaning my neighbor 100 bucks or sharing dinner; not chasing after someone who's doing something that I think is wrong or immoral.
There are things that I may or may not do that some would consider wrong or immoral, but that's between me, my family, an unnamed higher power.
-edit- If I see/meet Scott Tucker at the Petit Le Mans this weekend, I swear to God that I'll ask him about it and invite him to defend himself on this very message board.
