It's really nice to see a reporter actually dig down & get the facts.

Absolutely.  He did a nice job.

A well done article. It is nice to see that the goals of several people on this forum are finally being eralized and that their efforts are paying off. If I had the author's address I'd consider sending him a bottle of wine.
Sent via PM - Thought best not to put in lobby.  Hope he enjoys the wine.

This is why traditional media is dying.  Bloggers & news websites are willing to do real research instead of just regurgitating puff press releases.

Dammit, beat me to the punch.

Great article. Too bad he didn't mention more of the SEC inquiry (and them having fred's data on their radar as well). And I lobby to change the name of this idea fro P2P to:

P2P(ii): Persona-to-Persona
Sn2Sn: Screenname-to-Screenname
or:
S2T: Sucker-to-thief

Prosper's got to be freaking a little by now.  Their dirty little secret is now out...and hopefully spreading.

I didnt catch the big splash on the home page the first time. lol. very nice



If you compare this pic with those taken of CL 3-4 years ago, he appears to be aging at the same pace as your average U.S. President.

ETA: or perhaps this is just a really unflattering photo?

I don't go to SF but 1x-2x a year and I joined right when the public meet and greet head-in-the-clouds euphoria between lenders and employees pretty much ended, so I never met the dude.

Those of you who have... is his nose really that big?

A Pinnochio joke comes to mind, but I decided it was perhaps a cheap shot.
