I realize that's not as serious a charge as the predatory microloans themselves, but it does give me some measure of personal satisfaction to read about their self-inflicted wounds.

I dont think klarna’s part in micro lending is any less despicable than that of the microlenders. They are working together to sell predatory products for a profit. To me, a person selling customers to loan sharks is just as morally guilty as the loan sharks themselves.

I'm not sure I understand this comment. Klarna is a microlender?
