Thread: Dead Souls

A financial company in Latvia is offering residents loans secured by nothing but their immortal soul.

Riga-based firm, named Kontora, does not require credit history record or proof of employment. It grants loans of 50 to 500 Latvian lats ($100 to $1,000) to any adult after he or she signs the a very short agreement.

According to the agreement, the only security required of the borrower is their immortal soul, which they are asked to confirm as their previously unmortgaged property.

The loan is subject to one percent per day in interest until full repayment.

The period of full repayment is 90 days, and in case the borrower fails to return the money, the creditor gets full possession of his soul.

Capitalism is totally dead if it can't find anything more worth holding to ransom or stealing than imaginary concepts.

Reminded me of this when I saw the headline

Dead Souls - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sorry its just funny.

There is some hidden maliciouness here, the only people who would value them like that are evil forces, they probably use gypsies as the bailiffs.

What if you haven't got a soul, can you still pretend that you have to get the loan?
They haven't got ways of verifying that have they?
