Is it only me or do these women look similar?

My guess is that they are sisters and went to the MFI together and therefore got id numbers in sequence.

That IS sort of creepy... The cosmetic catalog looks identical. Just looks like a costume change and a re-posing for another picture! Cheesy

One of them is 24, then other is 30... So they aren't identical twins, but that is pretty weird!

My guess is that it is the same person. Different Names. Buy why?

I sent my friend at Mifex an email to ask him about those two loans...

...and I got an answer right away. They are not sisters, they are actually completely unrelated. But my contact (Luis.Crespo. From MIFEX) agreed with me that they look similar, used the same colors for their interior walls, same style clothing, etc. A mere coincidence...

The loan officer for both loans is Robert Edgar, the Ecuadorian-American co-founder of the MFI and a Stanford graduate like the founders of Kiva.

Uncanny. Thanks for getting to the bottom of that, Ramon.
