If the guy uses paper clips for shoe laces, you probably won't get paid back

When you lend money to a friend at the racetrack, they turn into magicians and do a disappearing act. They will hide, lie, and avoid you not to pay you back.

When I was younger, there used to be "shylocks" lending money at the Big A. I wonder if that still happens in this day and age.
