does "where you're concerned"= if you are concerned? “No. She brought me some damn stew, Neal, and ended up getting attacked and tossed in the middle of a murder investigation. I want to do something. God damn it, I want to do something besides just standing here.” “You did. You called me. I reached out to a contact on the BPD. Wolfe pushed and pushed hard for this warrant. He’s about used up his currency where you’re concerned. Let this play out, Eli. It’s going no-where. And the Piedmonts’ suit has throttled back to a few mutters to reporters who bother to listen to them these days.” “There are cops swarming all over my grandmother’s house. It’s hard to shrug that off.” “Let it play out,” Neal repeated. “Then close the door. If they push again, they’re going to get slapped with a suit. Trust me, Eli, the brass doesn’t want that—the wrangling or the publicity. They’ll shut Wolfe down. Let me know when they’re out of there.” “Sure.”2. does "used up his currency"= spent all his money?

"He’s about used up his currency where you’re concerned." He has exhausted/used up the influence or goodwill* he has with the people who issue warrants [for arrest of people suspected of having committed a crime] in situations in which you are involved [where you’re concerned]. The implication is that the person concerned has asked for a lot of warrants, maybe without achieving results. * or his ability to ask for favors
