I rather like the new one better. It's literal, yes, but the old one was edging toward JAFAAC to me — the facial expression certainly doesn't say "hail fellow, well met" but there's really nothing to mark him as a loan shark rather than some other type of no-goodnik flashing a large sum of cash. (I can't find any evidence of a previous Image Pickin' thread, or that the page was ever tagged.)
I like them both, but the real shark one is really funny.

I like the shark. And I don't think being literal in this case hurts the page, since I doubt there's much confusion for it being an actual shark. It's not exactly an unknown name for the character type.
There are better quality images to be found, so I can fix it up if we decide to go for it.

Loan Shark was changed without discussion 3 weeks ago. Although the new one isn't bad, maybe it's a bit too literal.
The former was a character from Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney:
