LendingClub CEO resigns over loan review

Renaud Laplanche’s departure follows non-conforming loan sale to a single investor

LendingClub Corp said Renaud Laplanche resigned as chief executive and chairman after an internal review found sales of $22 million in near-prime loans to a single investor, against that investor’s explicit instructions.

Shares of the consumer lender, battered 56% over the past 12 months, lost 28% pre-market to $5.10.
