The thing about OCP is that banks and their regulators DID coordinate financial disenfranchisement against legal businesses. I hate payday lenders as much as anyone else (I've rescued a couple of family members by paying off their balances) and I'm happy for remedies against such predatory companies, as long as those remedies are legal and non-discriminatory.
But remembering that banks and their regulators did the same thing to ethnic minorities, I see any such thing as precedent to allow them to persecute anyone they desire.
For example, there's some evidence that they did the same thing against the cryptocurrency industry. [www theregreview org]
