It really is.


Right now, I picture Jessica working at a strip club, hoping to earn enough to pay the next Prosper loan payment, so her probation officer doesn't find out about "DebbieS"

:lol:

anyone have a folded one dollar bill?

:D

There is no evidence that "mother" is involved at all. Everything (all the postings here, and the two prosper identities) could have been done by one person, and the loan payments may well be coming from one of Jessica's earlier victims.

The FBIs complaint doesn't mention any investigation to find other victims. That would be consistent with my experience with the FBI. They document enough to get one conviction, and then move on. So there are quite possibly other victims out there still paying.

Well, if she really did have $24,000 in cash in the bank when she posted her first Prosper listing, you know where it came from :)

Didn't more than one GL see her bank account statements?

Based on the court records, I'm inclined to believe that she really did have $24k in the bank, and it came from some married guy.


As you read the criminal complaint, it's clear that she wasn't new to this con. She had experience.

You realize...

This just goes to prove once again that the more a person talks it up on these forums while trying to get a loan, the more likely they are to be scamming you. If a borrower has 100 posts or 20,000 words posted before they are half-funded, consider it a big fat red flag...

From now on, I am lending to autistics, mimes, and chimpanzees only.

And who is to say that the payment for DebbieS didn't come from a stolen account?

If the payments are coming from a stolen account, it does show commitment to Prosper.

I would have loved to have been a fly in the wall when this news reached anton's desk.

I was just getting involved in Prosper ... all were so shocked when he just took the loan out to stop the chatter ...

alan .. nice job on the past warnings. Janey .. nice catch on the current situation ...

It's only time before the press starts getting their hands on this stuff ...

well .. we knew it was coming ..

100 pounds but a size 11. Tiny feet too size 6.

i can see it now: all previous payments will be disputed due to court action.

If Anton took the loan out, he is the only loser?

If anyone is interested in forwarding their info to him. I'm sure he'd like to have the Prosper listings at the sentencing hearing.

anton did not take out the whole loan, only 5150 of it.

62 Casting Directors, Agents & Prosper Addicts have viewed Jessica's profile

Don't forget cats!

I presume their Prosper forum posts have been archived? Wouldn't want them (or her) erasing history... Not even to assist in any investigation, but just so Prosper's history will still be there, when the book is written...

Anton wasn't the only bidder, just the largest (and most dramatic) one.

At the time, we speculated that, after all the controversy, Prosper would repay this loan out of corporate funds rather than allow it to default. It is certainly not beyond their capabilities to do this without anything out of the ordinary appearing on lender accounts.

One question: The complaint was filed October 2. When was DebbieS's loan brought current?

it missed the oct 5th payment. Loan was brought current Nov 7th & 16th. (Nov 7th for the Oct 5th payment, and Nov 16th for the payment due Nov 5)

so yes, the chronology correspond

Around November 9th.


I was trying to figure out a timeline, too.


...but I was more interested in looking at her car bidding on ebay, versus her listings on Prosper :)

She won an Audi TT convertible in April. I wonder if she bought that and the Saab.

I bid on DebbieS' loan before I noticed the controversy in the forums. As a lender on the loan, I'd appreciate it if eveyone leaves this one alone for now.

DebbieS brought the loan current. It only went 1 month late (not 3+) and she's even paying off the late fees. If the money's coming from a blackmailed lover's hush fund or from a devoted mother's threadbare pocket, it's all the same to me. But, contacting the State Attorney General and turning off the due repayment faucet would not be appreciated.

You do kind of have a point, and I'm sure that the cheating husbands aren't too interested in recovering the money at this point.

I understand how you feel. I have been feeling similarly about all the people who have been piling on Aimee (abrittain).

What happened with her?

http://forums.prosper.com/index.php?showtopic=6941&hl=

that's a shame.

I remember her.

Short version:
Her loan went late (3 months I think). She had some severe financial issues (no surprise, we knew her financial situation was tight).

She tried to keep in contact in the forums at first by sending a message to Psychdoc to post on her behalf, but he's not active on the forums at the moment. Then when she realized her message wasn't received, she came and posted herself. Recently made a partial payment. Some forum members came down on her for being late on her loan. Others appreciated her willingness to stay in contact and at least make the effort to make her payments.

She is now in the process of getting her loan paid up.

(Long version is in the thread Urbi linked to.)

Oh man. I haven't looked at the forum in at least six weeks. Glad I didn't miss this. Or maybe I'd feel better if I had. I have my tail between my legs, because those of you who were engaged with all this may recall that at the time I apparently had my head there (a little higher up, actually).

Whew. Mea culpa.

I'm checking out for another six weeks...

No, we know you were just trying to cover so your wife wouldn't find out :)

still vapid!

doh! shh... I'll make silence worth your while. ;)

:lol:

Wow Just Wow!!!

...Gulp

if she were so good at blackmailing the ceos she would not have needed the 20 k, and she would not have gotten evicted, i believe the money is coming from her mom - i really feel bad for the men that have been blackmailed by this cunning girl - my father always told me never to give in to blackmail bec thn the person owns you forever it is better for that person to come out with whatever they have on you and finished, at least in a week from now you will be able to sleep at night - and as tokyo joe said - i really hope that she is hustling now for money - she almost pulled a fast one on the entire prosper community - also since i am fairly new here - what is the background of

who is anton? and please provide a link for verification - thanks

Hmmm

CEO of Prosper

...Gulp

Won't the reporter that put up the story of Anton speaking of this loan in one of the articles have a field day!

:P

Fraud? How can this be?

The Wall Street Journal said the postings were legitimate. Prosper validated the financial details.

:angry:

Yep. I'm convinced. The Wall Street Journal can't be wrong. Deb & Jess were legitimate.

I think the court documents were faked. I didn't see the U.S. Attorney's hand anywhere in the photos. How can I take them seriously?

:P

...Gulp

B)

IMO,the WSJ did a good job of reporting on Prosper.

After all, the reporter was only able to rely on what Prosper told them about Jess. Apparently, her story checked out to the extent that Prosper was able to verify it. I can understand how that happened, based on the timeline that I was able to put together.


BTW, $9,100 for a 2001 Saab convertible was a darn good deal earlier this year. Mayhbe Jess has a future in used car sales :)

Thats what you do see as a group leader.

Ok. But I seem to remember at the time this was going on that you were the person who early on declared JessM a fraud. So much has been written about this pair of borrowers that I admit that I am unable to paw thru the heap of text and find the references. Isn't this the case where you said you uncovered something that you didn't want to reveal, but said you would reveal at an appropriate time? Do I remember correctly or am I confusing this case with another, or perhaps just hallucinating?

If I do remember correctly, perhaps now is a reasonable time.

What was the original info that caused you to declare shenanigans?
