Seems like you can create a massive bump in your income by taking out huge P2P loans ($30K, $40K, etc), make one payment, and then run off with the money. It seems there’s no reason to not do this when there are no negative consequences. The first few defaulting borrowers in my portfolio didn’t even suffer a decline in their credit score for stealing all this money.
