Second, crazy advertising investment, regardless of the cost of publicity offensive, generally unreliable. Experts believe that sky-high advertising fees often mean misappropriation of customers' funds. There are also some P2P platforms that rent office space in high-end office buildings, and the daily rent is above 10 yuan/square meter, while the general operating cost of P2P platforms accounts for 3% to 3.5%, which is difficult to sustain development.

If a P2P platform is always hungry for funds, it is likely to need a steady stream of latecomers to pay for the former, which is Ponzi scheme.
