I'm pretty sure Folio traders would qualify, as those fractions still show up in your LC account.
Thanks for the glimmer of hope, Bryce, but I'm not at all sure that "pretty sure" amounts to much.
According to Peter's post, they worded it as such: "investors that
have invested
through our marketplace as of September 30, 2014".
Emphasis mine, of course. Not investors who have notes outstanding, present-tense, on the 'marketplace' as of Sep 30, but investors who
have invested
through our marketplace. English is such a rich language. I read that to mean that any investor, present
or past, who has invested "through our marketplace" is eligible. That means Sally Jo who bought one note back in 2007 on the primary platform and then cashed out via Folio the next day is still eligible.
The rub comes from what "through our marketplace" means. Lending Club has (in the past) gone to great lengths to convince us all that Folio is some remote monster, a different site altogether. I think all of us here know differently now, but that doesn't change the possible legal distinction. If "our marketplace" includes Folio, then they will have to admit that it was all run by them in the first place.
Of course, Stephanie may have stricken your name from the list!
That is a very real possibility, and one that I have already considered. But Stephanie (and LC) has very little to gain by striking my name from the list, except to piss me off. I will miss out on any short-term profit, but I think I will get better mileage out of it right here on the forum if that happens. Net zero for them. Plus, if that happens I will let on that Stephanie looks much older than she really is, at 28. Oops I guess I just did. Hard to believe one 28 year old woman can cause so much trouble around here.
She shares a birthday with Fidel Castro and Hitchcock. What does that tell you astrologists about her mental stability? Castro was bad enough, but a woman scorned...?
