So they bought a 2 month lifeline using  the current Prosper lenders notes as collateral.

The ship is sinking

Sure looks like it to me.  I'd sure want warrants for Prosper stock at penny stock levels...

Prosper missed me.  They lifted my suspension a day early.

Nominated for Lobby. Investar, is that ok with you?

I think a 2-month lifeline would be of interest to the Lenders.

Quote from: Prosper Moderator
If, as you have indicated, you don’t trust Prosper to detect fraud when it exists or to remunerate you when we find it, then you should reconsider whether you want to lend on Prosper.
I did; withdrawing since Black Friday, March 30, 2007--with one exception.

Classic comment from Urbi to a poster who said they were leaving:

"Once again, we note that your threats are hollow and you come across like a sad, lonely blowhard.

I doubt anyone here gives a shit about you.  We pretty much all know that you are a vile and unethical parasite of a human being with an abnormal craving for attention."

using  the current Prosper lenders notes as collateral.
that part isnt clear. my interpretation is that they sold several notes to the several investors with their own name on it.

looks like they are arranging, or trying to arrange a "preferred stock financing for an aggregate purchase price of $5,000,000 or more", and this is a bridge

The notes are collateral anyway because they belong to Prosper. The notes are assets that belong to PMI & proceeds would be used to settle with creditors.

Who looks at their books and invests? Craziness. In 18 days I'm out, so I'm happy to hear about the bridge loan.

Not so much craziness as desperation? Two insiders and the rest of Prosper's current investors with $40m already on the table dipped into their collective jars of pocket change to keep things running for 60 more days. In the meanwhile, Prosper continues its search for a longer term solution. I get the impression they said, "okay we'll give you 60 more days since you still think you can close to this stock deal you've been working on."

It's interesting that they're paying 15% (annual rate) for a 2 month note.  Obviously no bank credit available to them.

Fixed.

Not to pick nits, but technically, it's not known - certainly not from this 8-K - whether or not Prosper could take out a far smaller (and hence not very useful) credit line at a bank.

Thats at least 2x if not 3x the going rate a safe company would be paying. Luckily there's no public shareholders to dilute.  Oh wait all the lenders are getting diluted
