When I found out that BTCjam was starting to block all U.S. clients, I remember telling someone that U.S. borrowers would use that as a "get out jail free" card, and not worry about paying back their loans. In other words, if they could never borrow again, they would have zero incentive to pay back, keep their credit in good standing.

Jam should have had a contingency plan in place knowing full well that was a major possibility. Instead, their contingency plan was "Lets not tell anyone we are going to start blocking U.S. clients, and keep it a secret until we are called out on it". They probably decided to cancel all U.S. clients, afraid of potential lawsuits, and heat from the U.S. govt, but ironically, they probably just made matters much worse for themselves when investors start looking for who's responsible for the "US Users who are now defaulting en masse!" Glad I stopped investing in people on Jam a while ago. I will stick with pop, LB, and bond.
