If he's successful it is the same thing.
If someone gives me 24% return per year on an investment they are, one would hope, making more than that. So let's say they are making 40% total in one year giving me the promised 24%. Let's call this business "Joe's Can't Miss Loan-sharking". I put in $100,000. The investment returns $140,000. I receive my $100,000 back + 24%. They profit $16,000. Great.
Now say instead that they borrowed $100,000 from the bank at 9%. It's the same investment so it returns $140,000. The bank gets their $100,000 back + 9% interest and he profits $31,000.
