most other loan sharks or crime lords would just of shot Fagin the moment he failed the first time - by crime boss standards Sykes is nowhere near the level of depravity many of his "rivals" would of been at.. again, Fagin had failed him *numerous* times and Sykes patience was growing thin but the fact that Sykes continually restrained himself from murder when he had the chance to do so makes him a very unlikely character for PE.

PE often take great delight in murder and will do so for very little reason, if Sykes was PE he'd of shot Fagin or had the dogs kill him the moment Fagin failed him.. or the second.. or the third.. Sykes has to keep on top of the heap to ensure his own survival or another crime lord would see him as "weak" and take over - thus he HAS to threaten violence to get what he wants.
