If you mean "or else" to be synonymous with "else", then only the last
debtor is killed, whether he has paid up or not, which seems a tad
unfair (except that if there are no debtors either you will crash with a
NameError or some random victim will be killed, which seems consistent
with Mafia modus operandi while also being a trifle unfair.
If (as I suspect) you mean "or else" to mean 'if a break occurred', then
at least only one debtor is killed, as an example to the others, and no
Exception will occur in the unlikely event of "debtors" being empty.
Happy fund-raising!

There's something in this.
