Yea, considering people apparently pay £100s (or even £1000s?) for in-game stuff, it wouldn't have surprised me if some were taking loans IRL to pay for it.
I've never loaned anyone money in RS, but a clan-mate did once lend me 1m gp back in like 2006 when I lost my 30m bank (long story). I repaid with interest about 2 days later.
It is a lot easier to double your money in RS than IRL, so if someone was au fait with "real-world" gp trading and not afraid of breaking the rules/laws, then they could argue it makes some sense to invest in RS.
