Fictional Character's Struggle with Easy Credit

This is about a fictional character's struggle to extricate himself from the negative effects of easy credit/debit. It had a harsh psychosocial impact on his life.

His journey was a rapid descent straight down into hell to the underworld of crime. He wound up with a house full of women, involved in vices, and over time became a broker of money. He managed their lives and resources and eventually got out of debt.

His ascent is questionable. However, he did rise above it all, with Ideas for his future, on avoiding the lours of easy credit.
