KUALA LUMPUR: A manager's past dealings with a loan shark have come back to haunt him more than a year after he settled the debt in full.

The 43-year-old who only wanted to be known as Wong, said he settled the loan in February last year but his ex-wife and her family began to receive harassing messages from an unknown individual earlier this month.
