Author says in some Native cultures, once the group identifies the sociopath, they plan a hunting trip, isolate the sociopath and then push him off a cliff. This might not work with the predatory lenders. Someone would notice 100,000 people at the bottom of a cliff.

Didn't anyone ever pull you aside to ask, "TBG, if Suzie jumps off a bridge, does that mean you got to jump off the bridge, too?" Diversity is the key to economic and political evolution.
Sociopaths are very destructive of basic, common, trust in/of the social order and need to be firmly sat upon.
Pushing them over a cliff hadn't occurred to me ... but it's worth careful consideration for implementing as fundamental Public Policy.
