They do this, more or less -- it's called the investor program (and
involves somewhat less risk -- and less variation in return -- than
what you describe):

I'm not sure what the current status of the program is (the page
hasn't been updated since 2004), but yes, LL has a history of
accepting personal loans from their fans, backed by their product and
their word, giving a quite reasonable 8% interest rate.
