See my previous post on 6093 and 340. I found that post and this post in the 
Yalkut Mefarshim to 
Sanhedrin 97a. The
 Rashash, Rabbi Shmuel Strashun (pictured above) was well-to-do, so it would be natural that a statement that 
Moshiach will not come until the 
perutah will be eliminated from the pocket might cause him some concern! His 
pshat was very relevant (indeed, even more so today!):
 
I'd love to understand this sentence: "Moshiach will not come until the perutah will be eliminated from the pocket will be eliminate."
