Relgious history. Since many of the trades where under patron "Gods" and Jews were not buying into pagan faiths, they were locked out of many trades.

This left them few choices, one being "Banking".

In many ways this led to hatred and resentment as folk hate bankers (I can attest)...but don't hate the playa, don't even hate the managment.

Hate the GAME.

Now, as far as the folk who had more direct influence like folk who didnt just default on, but OWNED slave auction houses and the like?

Them's some snakes.
