Not robbery,its called shylock. Now imagine 10K in two weeks. That is 10% in two weeks. If the friend was to be consistent then it would be 20% in 1 month,that translates to 240% in a year.

Now,tell me,Kenyanboy,is this what you want. The risk of loosing your assets to shylocks?

But you shall remember the LORD your God,for it is He who is giving you power to make wealth,that He may confirm His covenant which He swore to your fathers,as it is this day. Deu 8:18

@ ali,for your info,this is not a business i run. It was a very particular case. Wish you knew how much my friend was making with my 100k. This was a guy who had previously refused a joint venture with me so why spare him or take any risks? I was just out to genuinely help.

Life is too short.

Thanks all for your responses. I have asked a few of those who advertise on the paper but they have terms which I'm not comfortable with. I have a Peugeot 307 whose log book I can put up as security. I want to borrow the 100K for 1 month and I would be willing to pay 10% interest. I'm trying to get the cash through other means,but I'm prepared to use a shylock as a last resort.

@eli

Thanks,lakini nimefaulu kwingine. I'll keep you in mind next time though.

Kenyanboy,you can easily find a good shylock - just check next to the honest politician,who might be standing next to the affordable lawyer,in case you can't make them out,they are the two people watching a unicorn and flying pig...

The problem with equality is that we desire that it be with those that have more than us rather that those that have less
