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 Evening Standard, the King Feature Syndicate, The Telegraph, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Guardian, The Times and The New York Times.
