My Dad would "floor plan" several small used car lots in Norfolk, VA. He'd front the money to the dealer to buy a car - never anything over $5,000 (decades ago mind you) and got $100/month until the car sold whereupon he got 10% of any profit... He kept that going for years and it was a damned nice income back in the 70's....of course taxes were paid on all of it; of course
Back then a used car dealer getting a legitimate bank loan was either non-existent or they had to mortgage their first born. After this built up in a few years; figure 5 dealers and 10 each of their cars financed this way at $100/month - a damn good living back then and didn't even have to leave the house. In those days the money made like this was called "juice" or "cake". |

I have seen loansharking. I worked part time at the port of Albany when younger and my main job was construction. Many of the people there were minorities and always behind the 8 Ball. On pay days a couple rather big mean guys would show up to collect. They normally did the $6 for $5 method.

The earlier episodes are funny, and focus on their business, and keep you interested. The later episodes IMO are not as good, as get way too deep into many characters' personal lives, such as tony and the shrink, chris and his movie aspirations, paulie and his mommy issues. Of course the greatest episode is Pine Barrens, I could watch it 100X, and feel it should have gotten an Oscar: |

My Dad was an accountant at a steel mill starting in the late 50s after he got out of the military from the Korean war. Every Friday, the management hired an armored car with armed guards to bring the payroll to the plant at closing time. All plant workers were paid in cash unless they had previously requested payment by check, which IIRC was basically no one.
In the mid '70s, the workers joined the Teamster's. That changed things. |
