The Federal Trade Commission has shut down the operator of a network of online loan sites that promised to find people the loans with the lowest rates. Blue Global Media sold 98% of the user data to non-lenders, most of which weren’t even lenders. The FTC filed an official complaint last Monday, July 3, against which the company agreed to a $104 million fine. As per the settlement’s terms, they also filed for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, effectively agreeing to shut down all operations.
