Description
PRATT, Circuit Judge: The issue raised on this appeal is whether a creditor who seeks to enforce a usurious loan be recording a conveyance of real property that recites a false consideration can be prosecuted under the federal ""loan sharking"" statute, 18 U.S.C. § 891 et seq. (1982). Holding that the creditor could not be so prosecuted, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Whitman Knapp, Judge, dismissed five counts of a fifteen-count indictment against defendant Albert Pacione, Jr. The government contends on appeal that the district court's interpretation of the statute was too narrow. We disagree, and accordingly affirm.
