Prosper.com - More legal trouble

Many legal developments for prosper.com in the last 48 hours. New lawsuits. New settlements. All are being reported elsewhere. I'll summarize the major links here for completeness.

An association of state securities regulators called NASAA has piled on, and Prosper has settled with them for $1M: NASAA Settlement (Although the name is similar, I don't think these are the same guys who do the space shuttle.)

A new class action suit has been filed against Prosper.com. The complaint has now become public: Prosper Class Action Complaint

A new blog has appeared, which seems intended to keep us up-to-date on that class action suit: Prosper Class Action Blog

A dumbfounded lawyer blogs about Prosper.com: What were they thinking?

With the legal front so well covered, I can now move on to more interesting subjects !
