The purpose of pa4pl is to address the recent prohibition on Pennsylvanians from lending on the peer-to-peer lending site, Prosper.com.

p2p lending is an incredible concept! I give Prosper so much credit and appreciation for creating a venue where Americans can invest directly in their fellow American.

This new and intimate method of investing is wonderful, especially now as our sense of trust and security in our traditional methods of investment are being put to the test.

Email me at pa4prosperlending@gmail.com if you have anything you would like to see addressed on pa4pl.

What are the Securities?

Go here, and scroll down to page 9, or just read below:

Q: What are the Securities?

A: The Securities consist of the Notes and the Lender Participant Rights related to the Notes.

Q: What are the Notes?

A: Notes represent Loans made by Prosper to a Borrower, and are the unsecured credit obligations of the individual Borrowers. Loans to Borrowers are evidenced by as many Notes as there are winning bids for the Loan, with each Note in the amount of the winning bid. All Notes are initially made payable to Prosper, and Prosper then sells and assigns the Notes without recourse to each Lender who was a winning bidder on the listing.

You're doing some great detective work!

By the way, I emailed Patti Sabatini at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on 17 Sep. to notify her of the Prosper announcement to PA resident lenders. She was on vacation; she emailed me today to thank me for letting her know.

And, as far as I'm concerned, rant away!

David - Thank you for the comment. I received what sounds like the same response from Patti Sabatini today as well. I wonder if we'll get an article out of her...
