On 10/30/09, NY 5642-PC advised that VARIETTA TREE,

a former US representative to the UN, cust sometime

within the last six months, as a result of shopping habits

became in debt. Not wanting to advise her husband of this

situation, she

approached JILLY RIZZO, owner of Jilly's,

West 52nd Street, NYC, for a possible source of funds.

RIZZO

"steered her" to unknown shylocks from whom TREE borrowed

$1,000 at a usurious rate of interest.

In some unknown manner, TREE made contact with

CHARLES TOURINE, who interceded on her behalf with JILLY

RIZZO.

RIZZO contacted the shylocks with whom TREE had been

involved and resolved the matter. TREE was subsequently

interviewed by Bureau Agents and

would furnish no information

concerning this matter.

on 12/1/69, NY 5837-C-TE advised he has had several

discussions with CHARLIE THE BLADE TOURINE.

TOURINE has asked

NY 5837-C-TE to lend out shylock money for him since he claims

he cannot physically get around to take care of his customers.

He told NY 5837-C-TE that he wants two points and he (NY 5837-C-TE)

can keep anything above two points in shylock loans.

The

informant told TOURINE that since he is a three time loser he

cannot afford to be put in a position where a shylock victim

would make a complaint about him and it was agreed NY 5837-C-TE

would attempt to steer customers to TOURINE.
