Ruthless moneylender (4,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

loan shark

(Other definitions for loan shark that I've seen before include "Money lender" , "One lends money at excessive rates of interest" , "Usurer" , "Financial dealer" , "Unscrupulous moneylender (colloq.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and the Sydney Morning Herald.
