    Anyone have any ideas about how Lending club could've handled this differently?

    Better compliance for all levels and less greed at the top.

    I refer to an old DailyFunder article from a long time ago, " Journalists and insiders often refer to merchant cash advance and the rising alternative business lending industry as the wild west." (And this does refer to FinTech as a whole)

    That is from 2014. Fast forward to 2016 and I'd say the law is slowly on its way.

    It's getting worse. They investing Cirrix Capital, a fund that buys their loans. The fact the Renaud and John Mack didn't dislose their individual ownership stakes in this fund to the board is a big deal.....

    LC actually provided CREDIT PROTECTION to this fund! Brazen self dealing!

    So hey investors, I'm lending club, please buy these notes without credit protection.

    So hey fund that I own, I'll give you credit protection against our lousy underwriting to buy these loans so we can growth our origination......

    Are you kidding me?
