Is an outcry the same thing as a snivel 

[Beerbud1]

I second the nomination for the lobby

[Mark12547]

Usually I want to have the permission of the person who started the thread but, since that is you, and we had a second, so be it!

Could someone point me the the "outcry place" - I did it to CS a few times but they never heard me.

prosper's statement has been posted in various threads. here is a copy in case you haven't read it

You know, that link made me think of something -- Counsel for the class should immediately propound discovery on Prosper asking for a complete explanation of why it shut down again.  Clearly that is relevant to the class action claims of securities violations, and I bet that Prosper would have to admit under oath something very different than its absurd statement about the "lender outcry."     Unfortunately, it appears that counsel for the class is doing a pretty half-assed job so far.

We will all be paying -- if there is any recovery, the lawyers will most likely get a big chunk of it.

And if they do good work, then it is well earned.  But in this case, it doesn't appear promising -- so far at least.

It was surprising and perhaps even a bit disappointing that you, with your unique and valuable perspective, did not want to take a more active approach with the case.  As far as I know, it's the only active effort underway. Not sure that we will have a better opportunity to put Prosper and their shenanigans in front of a judge.

Participated in P2P through Prosper 1.0- 1.x.

Didn't even get a Tshirt.

I got a T-Shirt!

I usually vote WGAF but this poll is too important not to vote no...

Has anyone contacted California's Commissioner of Corporations Preston DuFauchard regarding his glowing review of Prosper.com (http://money.cnn.com/2009/04/28/technology/hempel_prosper.fortune/?postversion=2009042811)? I nearly vomited when he is quoted as saying Prosper is an example of, "the kinds of innovative ideas that can help get credit in the hands of people who need it while instilling in our financial markets desperately needed openness and transparency."

no I haven't, but he sounds like a real winner (translation: total fucking asshole)

He attended...  "Stanford University, where he obtained his B.A. in 1979."

Now ignored.

For your edification, CL, the witchel and others have Stanford in common. It isn't a coincidence.
