Asked to comment on the recent developments, Loanio CEO Michael Solomon told P2P-Banking.com:

In light of recent events beyond our control, Loanio, Inc. has suspended its business so that we may begin the process of registering our promissory notes with the appropriate securities authorities and agencies. As a direct result, please be advised that effective immediately Loanio will no longer be accepting registration from lenders or borrowers and/or any new bids on loans or loan requests until further notice.

This message will be posted on the Loanio platform today.
