I think the piccy of a giant pyramid halfway thru' the article is over doing it. Is regulation in China up to anything... each time this happen enormous damage is being done to Chinese confidence in general.

Nothing quite like a pyramid picture in a ponzi scheme story to show that the publication doesn't know the difference between the two.

I am +8 in Hongkong and the industry here struggles. The greed and short sightedness of the directors (not restricted to the industry) makes for a relatively low return for very high platform associated risk. I have been offered 7%pa 2nd charge only UW in central HK property market despite it being the first lend of the 'platform'.
Remember also, outside Hongkong, you cannot consider there to be any form of common law applied in China.

I have the feeling that sticking to the rules is optional.

Reading some of these reports it would be odd to suddenly have HSBC move there (well HK).

This could be very nasty: "China Banking Regulatory Commission’s (CBRC) decision in December to bar P2P platforms from raising and lending funds on their own ... The China Insurance Regulatory Commission said questionable P2P players were those that raised funds on their own before offering loans to clients." That seems to mean that P2P firms are banned from using peer lenders as a source of funds to lend. If so it's a tsunami-sized tide going out that will expose much more than fraud.
