An Asian-American gang is being targeted in a loan sharking scan at two tribal casinos in Connecticut.

Police have charged Mu Can Lin with extortionate extension of credit after being arrested on Tuesday at the Mohegan Sun Casino, owned by the Mohegan Tribe. Authorities allege he gave high interest loans to Asian-American gamblers and often threatened to call on the Black Society gang if patrons didn't meet payment terms.

Lin is also alleged to have offered loans at Foxwoods Resort Casino, owned by the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation.
