Lending Club tanks after getting slammed with charges for allegedly misleading customers

• Lending Club, the technology lender, is taking it on the chin Wednesday after the Federal Trade Commission charged the company with misleading customers.
• Shares were down 8.2% by 12:56 p.m. ET, according to Markets Insider data.
• The FTC alleges the company falsely told "consumers they would receive a loan with "no hidden fees," when, in actuality, the company deducted hundreds or even thousands of dollars in hidden up-front fees from the loans."
• Lending Club, which went public in 2014, has seen more than 80% of its market value wiped away since.
• The company saw an exodus of investors and a fall in revenue after a fraud scandal and the resignation of its chief executive, Renaud Laplanche, in May 2016.
