Looks like Cubbies is correct! Not that I doubted him  :-*, Was curious, so I googled it!

What's the earliest we can expect to see money?

I'm guessing 18 months.   :D :D :D :D

That's a question I wished I'd asked myself back when I first opened up my Prosper Account.

Looks like the Court has now been officially notified of the Settlement. Lots of new filings on 09/09/2013 and one on 09/10/2013. Any comments from the Legals who inhabit these boards?

What I read that comes out the $10M:
1/3 goes to Class Counsel
?? goes to Named Plaintifs (hope you get a nice chunk)
?? goes to Litigation expenses
$250K goes to administering the Escrot account
The rest is divied up to eligible Class members prorated to each of our respective net losses and prorated to the 4 payments.

Anyone see anything different? I'm expecting a check for about $2.95 for my $400 loss.

Based on what I'm seeing, I'm going to object.

The only people who will recover are those who suffered a net loss, after principal and interest.

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

Exactly, the interest shouldn't come into play for this.

Shocked that the only people winning are the lawyers.  Let me know when it's time for me to say "I told you so, eight years ago".

I would agree that by using unregistered securities, all lenders were affected - not just those with negative ROIs.

Of course if ALL P1.0 lenders get a piece of the $10M, poor roger is going to get far less than $2.95.  Thinking about it that way, or if you feel Prosper should buy back all P1.0 loans, then that $10M sure looks awfully tiny.

Will that cause the courts to re-think everything? Since your a lawyer in California will that help you  get a new settlement?

Enough objections would lead to the court to reject the settlement.......
