You know they can do other things besides kill you. They could beat the shit out of you, trash your place, etc... I think killing would be more for snitching and shit.

this.
they wont loan the cash unless they know you are capable of repaying to begin with, like a payday loan only more serious because they'll burn your house or business to get the point across that they want their money. if your house gets burned then they know you'll have the insurance money to repay them

Except I don't think loan sharks go "Okay, here's 50k, if you don't have the money by this deadline, we're going to kill you."
They just keep racking up interest and beat the shit out of you periodically.
I'm sure they usually just beat people and shit like that, but...

This is probably the point. If you don't have the money and they let you live they're still not gonna get the money. They probably assess what the fuck is going on and kill someone when they realize they're not getting money either way. Gotta make people pay their debts somehow, fear is a large part of that.
50k is a lot of fucking money to borrow though.

If the version on e.g. The Sopranos where you're paying some high rate of interest calculated weekly is remotely accurate, it wouldn't take too long before you had paid back more than the original balance and still owed money. If that's the situation and you are known to be totally broke, killing you would set an example for other debtors. I have no idea how closely any of that tv stuff matches up with reality though.

whoever decides to take out a loan from the mafia, should know what they're getting themselves into, obviously. usually it's deluded gambling addicts who borrow money from the mafia i think. though i have no idea why the mob would loan money to a gambling addict, that would make the mob just as deluded

The mob just does what the oil, agriculture, pharma, gaming, and chemical companies do today....buy some politicians to agree to push through projects that they have vested interests in. It is called American business and for the most part, legal.
They make a shit ton more money now using this formula than many of the old, sloppy ways.

no, the mafia does not loan to people unless there is some sort of gauranteed return on their investment. loans are generally only given for businesses.
i was in rehab with a mafia guy and he didn't talk much about their practice, but what i can tell you is that these guys are not the kind of gangsters that americans have been accustomed to thinking about. they are smart. his wife is on miami city council

Somewhat related:
I work for the Teamsters Union which I think has mob ties and Jimmy Hoffa and shit like that. I woke up like 20 minutes ago and had some crazy dreams last night and this wasn't one of them but matter of fact I had this dream like 3 or 4 days ago and this thread inspired me to post about it.
So I had this random dream a few days ago that in this big hub where I work there was this little area in the middle you weren't supposed to go in but I wandered in there one day anyway and then when I got in there they had all this crazy shit but then they beat me up and "escorted" me out of the area (this was just an area that was a part of the building I worked in every day..) and then when I got to the entrance/exit there was some old guy sitting on a fold-out chair sitting on the outside of the entrance/exit and he simply looked at me and said "never go back in there."
So I took his advice and left lol. Strange fucking dream. And I don't know what triggered that, it wasn't this thread because the dream happened first. Usually I don't think or concern myself with that shit too often really. Huh.

I dunno if they still do, but they used to have loan shark operations. They've moved up into stuff like Casinos and labor unions which are no doubt more lucrative and with less risk.

If you didn't pay by Thursday, I wouldn't be to concerned about your own wellbeing, but of those you love and care about most. Dead men can't pay you back.

It is a basic extortion technique. Unless you have really pissed them off, or they see that they will never get their money back(which would be unlikely to have loaned that person to begin with), they threaten to kill, and instead use other means to scare you. They will harm you without a doubt, maybe your family or friends. Luckily, mobs from places like Europe are not too violent. I would be scared of Vietnamese though. They wont just beat your relatives up, they will cut them into pieces and make you watch. I am fortunate to have disconnected myself from the dangerous side of my family. I have a lot of crazy stories to tell from my teen years though

I know in the UK if there is a guy that has a big debt to the mob over there and he wont pay it back after they beat his ass over and over. They send big guys over to rape you and take pictures while they do it. Then after they blackmail you with the photos until you pay.

I thought that was shit only loan sharks did before the 1980's? Now there are a lot of laws against loan sharking. Loan sharks aren't even allowed to call you between 10pm and 7am anymore for instance. They aren't allowed to even use threatening language anymore either.
