everyone is asking them to disclose APR's on advances without any understanding as to why that question is irrelevant

APR's are not irrelevant to people who,only understand loans. The industry will play he'll trying to convince regulators and burocrats the the MCA product is something other than a loan.
If someone receives money and has to pay back more than they borrowed its a loan.
The subtilty of purchasing future receivables may fly with a judge but not these folks.
If the CAN CFO did not give them any interest rates I be% they are now suspicious of what rates are being charged.

Exactly Bob, here's what people who have never heard of CAN are learning - 1) one of their products is a "sale of future receivables" that doesn't technically have an interest rate, but is expensive. 2) for their loan product, they leverage a Utah industrial bank to originate the loan so they can preempt usury laws. oh and 2a) we really like this set-up and wouldn't really welcome a limited charter that would bring additional oversight to us.

For the record in case anyone was wondering. CAN Capital volunteered to be a witness here, they weren't subpoenaed or something. A hearing like this is meant to be informative and constructive, a chance to dialogue on the public record with policymakers but also field the tough questions.

I have some experience with regulators and suspect the questions will get tougher.
