Reads like a typical Ponzi scheme that just collapsed.<p>If they were for real, they&#x27;d announce reduced revenue and show financial statements. Sure, they&#x27;re experiencing some bad debt. But not 100%.

This is the first of many such organizations that are going to go through this. All these collective funding platforms LendingClub.com, Prosper.com, FundingCircle.com, YieldStreet.com, WunderCapital.com etc are going to be forced to suspend payments to their investors as their clients face ongoing economic hardships.

They had me at: Register Now, Add Funds, Get Profit. I can&#x27;t give them my money fast enough....<p>Sounds like loan repayments (ie principal + interest) are suspended indefinitely. This is the risk you take when you are expecting a 10+% return on property dev and payday loan investments.

For an unsecured lender, this is basically the apocalypse. Let&#x27;s do the math - numbers are US, but most of the major Western economies are going through some version of this.<p>- 30% household unemployment<p>- 90+ day shutdown of most retail &#x2F; service businesses<p>- Implicit Mortgage and Rent holidays (no enforcement)<p>- Other household assets are tanking (stocks, real estate)<p>- Small business restart will be brutal, since the personal balance sheets &amp; credit of owners are getting devastated<p>So... payment on unsecured loans... bwhahahahah. Speaking as a former banker, I&#x27;m guessing what - a 40% delinquency rate during Q2 and part of Q3? We&#x27;re not just talking about the unemployed people - others have hours cut, money lost on investments, business slowdowns, etc.<p>Not to mention most of the population probably won&#x27;t give a damm about you trashing their credit score at this point. What&#x27;s the point? It&#x27;s all crap now...<p>Oh wait... I haven&#x27;t gotten to the best part. If a loan is 60 days delinquent, these guys have to buy it back per the terms of their deal. That&#x27;s why they froze this thing...<p>At this point, it is a race between their cash reserves (what % they held back to support buybacks) and the unknown peak of a massive wave of 60 day delinquencies....

If I&#x27;m reading it right, their business model is &quot;eBay&#x2F;Amazon for purchasing secured loans&quot;, is that right?<p>Are they saying they&#x27;re just suspending interest payments to investors, or have they actually disappeared their investors&#x27; capital indefinitely?

Seems like if this wasn&#x27;t a Ponzi scheme, they would stop soliciting new investments on the homepage.
