Loan shark (6)

I believe the answer is:

usurer

'loan shark' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for usurer that I've seen before include "Lender at an exorbitant rate" , "Grasping money-lender" , "One who charges undue interest" , "Person who charges excessive interest on loan" , "Extortionist" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, the King Feature Syndicate, the Evening Standard, The Guardian, The Telegraph, The New York Times and The Times.
