The discovery asked for by the plaintiffs is extensive and (if the court approves and Prosper complies) could result in a lot of bad stuff coming to light.
Have you seen it? Because I haven't, but would like to.
It includes a complete copy of the Prosper website and all their files, emails, etc.
No, Prosper's discovery RESPONSES might include that stuff. But Plaintiff's discovery DEMANDS wouldn't -- those would essentially be a list of documents demanded from Prosper, a list of questions Prosper was required to answer under oath, and a list of admissions Prosper was asked to make or deny. In other words, I would like to see the questions, not necessarily the answers.
Such records would include names and addresses and SSN's of all Prosper lenders and borrowers, copies of signatures, all that good stuff.
No, I haven't seen it. Who gets access to it? Plaintiff's lawyers, lead plaintiffs? What's to stop a copy from getting posted on the internet?
Typically if discovery responses include confidential information, the parties agree to have the court enter a "protective order" which specifies who can see what, under what conditions, etc. Or if the parties cannot agree, then one side asks the court for a protective order, the other side presents its arguments, and the judge decides. Violation of a protective order can be punished as contempt of court.
