Firing Witchell has also freed up an obligation to pay him his high-flying salary...

He almost certainly got a large severance package.

Just think if the VC were already a little pissed & thinking about shutting the money down,this article has to hurt.

The story about the Gaerke bankruptcy has gotten a lot of play.  Who would have thought there would be so much publicity out of that?  A filing in an obscure bankruptcy court in Ohio....

I guess the cheerleaders on the fool comments feel it's OK for Prosper to lie since none of them address the topic of the article.

The main reason i haven't commented(as i told xraider in IRC) is that i would detract from the article.My name has already mentioned a couple of times.

Theres a need by them to make this into a little bitch session (like some here do) hijack attempt to derail the whole topic.

Quoted to capture the event of Bama exercising tactful restraint!

Certainly, a mediocre article. I suspect that the author is also a Prosper lender although he/she does not disclose this fact. So, Mr. TMF article writer, are you a registered lender on Prosper? How much contact did you have with this ira, xraider, baamlucky, etc... members of Prospers.org before writing this article?

Personally, I took a look through Prospers.org (at least the publicly available portions). I did a search for various curse words (f**k, s**t, etc..) and found many a post from the ira, xraider, etc, that would lead me to believe that they are truly not respectable people. All-in-all, it seems that the author and these Prospers.org people are picking a bone with Prosper.com and lamenting their own lending decisions. They also seem to have som Florence Nightengale disease as to want to save "me" (or future lenders) from losing money. Pardon me, but its my money and if I want to lend money to people who may or may not pay me back, isn't that my prerogative?

Let the ira, xraider, etc's of the world begin bashing my comments now....cause I need them to "save" me. What a bunch of egotistcial maniacs.

Ah, there were two others by him that were worse.

I like the weigh in from people we never knew,who have also came to the same conclusion we are at,with never visiting org.

[xraider]

I wonder if xode is TheTruthSpeaks?

The thing that I find really amusing is that many of us posting here commented under names TheTruthSpeaks, PeerLender (?) and Opinion1956 certainly recognize, and which can be found on lendingstats and Ericscc.  They didn't.  I have to wonder why not.

p2pnobank.com which is the rateladder aggregate of several of them has no mention of it.

Most of them are like lazyman though.They all know Prosper is broken & have moved on to other topics to draw in the ad clicks
