Jenkintown payday lender who helped bring down two industry titans sentenced to 3 years in prison

Adrian Rubin's lawyer said he once viewed people who took out payday loans as "beggars" who wasted their income on "tattoos and cigarettes." Now, the Jenkintown businessman maintains he sees them as financially vulnerable people instead of a source of profit.

Jenkintown payday lender Adrian Rubin, a key cooperator in the case against Main Line payday lending pioneer Charles M. Hallinan, was sentenced Tuesday. Hallinan is currently serving a 14 year sentence at a federal prison in North Carolina.
