new job title: loan shark

That’s 404% interest. I’d more easily believe in magic and dragons. ;)

wow… I doan wanna borry from him!

Too bad gold is so scarce. It makes a good frying pan.

net worth, wizard, NET WORTH!

You should have taken the money and run. . .BTW, does anybody remember the old TV show “The Millionaire”. . .

Don’t they have any usury laws there? :O

WOW..now you see it now you don’t….

And he PAID the taxes! In that would be 310,000 (includes Federal).

“Yep, the $1.54 is for the 12 seconds worth of added compound interest; and the $1,000,000 principal is for the stack of 24-Karat gold bars that I just materialized for you. Hey, what did you expect? Nothing’s free, Pal! Just fork over $1,000,001.54, and it’s all yours; take it or leave it!”“Aah, nice try; it was worth a shot! Oh, well. Back to the ol’ drawing board!”

Always negotiate price before making the deal…

Well, Wiz, you’re not gonna make a lot of friends that way.“Hey, do you have any idea how much energy goes into making JUST ONE TROY OUNCE of pure gold; let alone this two-arms-ful?! And besides, I’m not here to make friends anyway! I’m a Businessman, I’m here to make MONEY; not (ugh) FRIENDS!”

In medieval times, interest charged was called usury / today’s interest rates for credit cards are usurious.

The Wizard has to be related to Donald in one way or another.
