It's disheartening when a trusted industry media outlet like Pymnts blindly republishes an accusatory claim as a headline as it were founded, proven truth. This is still America, and our citizens are still, at least until we convert to the French constitution, innocent until proven guilty. Yet in the recent media lather of supporting the anti-payday movement if the government says ANYTHING about payday or payday lenders then 1) it must be true because the government said it; and 2) payday lenders MUST be criminals. If, in this case, the defendants had already pled, or negotiated a settlement decree under which their guilt had been established the Pymnts bolded headline would be acceptable. But this is not yet the case, facts have yet to be established and the accused are yet to be found guilty. Must the media, even this trusted industry outlet, so blindly jump on the "payday = guilty criminal" bandwagon, something we would expect from the NY Times or Huffington?
