One of the main places that LendingClub loan investors discuss the company is in a forum hosted by the site LendAcademy[0] Starting in January of this year someone claiming to be from a hedge fund was in the forum saying they had shorted the stock and trying to convince everyone the company was garbage and generally causing a ruckus[1]. After the news about the CEO resigning broke last week another hedge fund guy went on Bloomberg to trash LC. [2]
