This can't be a long planned move.  Chris Denend is a highly capable release manager.  He's utterly incapable of just about any other management responsibility.  If Witchel is not replaced promptly as CTO with a qualified individual, it must mean the VCs have given up on Prosper.
Little birdie tells me that the JW departure was unexpeted.In fact,they didn't even know about it till i asked

Hmmm...

Y'know... as crazy as it sounds, that felony becoming public might not be as unrelated as it might seem on the surface.  Doesn't the SEC have some say in Prosper's future?  And aren't felonies something that can disqualify you from certain positions under SEC jurisdiction?  Harmless college prank or no, it hasn't been expunged, and the law generally has a dimmer view of certain pranks than the prankster sometimes realizes.  I don't know what the rules are regarding felonies and financial companies, maybe someone would know what to look for? 

Or maybe he forgot to mention it in some paperwork?

Too bad he's not on speaking terms with us; a good blog post from him would probably alleviate what will surely turn into a lot of speculation.
Not sure on SEC issues...but when it comes to military/government employment and security clearances, the question asked is if you have been arrested on a felony charge. IIRC, sub-questions are then if you were convicted and for explanation. Perhaps the SEC does it the same way? I dunno...

Besides, given the wreckage that Trump has made of the GOP, plus demographic trends, if the Democrats can put into place strong protections of the right to vote to prevent (and roll back) GOP voter disenfranchisement schemes, there is a high probability the GOP won't control the House, Senate and White House again for decades (if ever).  Hell, the GOP has only won the popular vote for President ONCE in the last SEVEN elections, so clearly the voters aren't buying what they're selling.

I get the feeling that the wheels are beginning to fall off...I'm not quite sure how I feel about that.

I asked why they didnt announce a major event like the company founder / CTO leaving, instead of making it a side-note in the company blog:
http://blog.prosper.com/2008/08/14/site-update-%e2%80%93-august-14-2008/#comments

The comment was rejected.

Why the BIG secret? What is going on?

Kirk inglis also has a new screen name

Notorious_K

Someone needs to update

I haven't read through the entire thread, so I don't know if this was mentioned already.  But Kirk Inglis is currently <15d late on his loan.  (Could be just a glitch, of course, but thought I'd mention it.)

Are we sure that Kirk Inglis is Notorious_K?  If so, then Prosper's CFO is late on his loan??!?!??   ???  :o

I just found the proof:

From Prosper Days 2008, Kirk Inglis admits that he is Heavy_Ax.
http://www.prospers.org/forum/live_reporting_from_pd08_in_irc-t5898.0.html;msg86032#msg86032

From Notorious_K's Prosper profile, the old screen name is Heavy_Ax.

Origination was on the 5th, so I guess it will be in Late status on the 21st.  I'll post here again if I see any daggers.
