The short version

Blacksands is a sponsor group of 3 issuers that PartnerFacts links to one sponsor (shared people, same business address; automatic match from the filings), filing 9 Form D filings between Feb 2011 and Aug 2023.

What this means One team, 3 deal companies, about 12 years of track record in SEC filings. We link the companies because the same people or address appear on their forms — tap "Request a correction" if that is wrong.

Combined reported sold: $59.7M to 45 investors (latest filing per issuer). Industries as reported: Oil and Gas (2), Pooled Investment Fund (1). Issuers are based in TX (3).

What this means $59.7M raised across the group, about $1.33M per investor. Amounts come from each company's latest Form D; they are what the sponsor reported, not audited figures.

Principal people: David DeMarco (2 issuers, executive officer and director), Eric Urban (2 issuers, executive officer and director), Sterling Mulacek (2 issuers, director), Alain Vinson (1 issuer, director), Bruno Mosimann (1 issuer, director) and 10 more.

What this means The person on the most companies is usually the one running the show; their page lists every deal.

Activity: 0 new offerings in the last 12 months; latest filing Aug 22, 2023.

What this means No new raise filed in the past year.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, DE, FINRA, FL, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY), property records (NYC, FL, IL and TX counties) — 16 court cases matching the name, 3 SEC releases, 9 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 28 records came back, including 1 court case still open — open cases can take years and cost money. Each one is listed below with a link to the original document and a line saying why it matched. A name match is not proof it is the same person or company — read the why line and the document. Being sued or named in a release is an accusation, not a finding.

We compared 9 public filings for Blacksands and found 15 differences, 6 worth asking the sponsor about: Regulator action naming a team member: Blacksands Petroleum, Inc. China Education Alliance, Inc. DoMark International, Inc. East Coast Diversified Corp. (Jan 8, 2018); Amount sold went down between filings; and more below.

What this means These are differences between the sponsor's own SEC filings — both values, dates and sources are listed in Key records, section 4. Most have ordinary explanations; ask the sponsor.

Worth asking · Jan 8, 2018

Regulator action naming a team member: Blacksands Petroleum, Inc. China Education Alliance, Inc. DoMark International, Inc. East Coast Diversified Corp. (Jan 8, 2018)

What this means A regulator filed or announced an action naming this person or company (or someone on the same filings). Read the release; ask the sponsor what it was and how it ended.

Paid seller listed without a CRD number: E2 Investment Advisors, LLC — Energy Evolution Master Fund, Ltd.

E2 Investment Advisors, LLC is listed as receiving sales compensation on 5 filings (Apr 19, 2022 to Aug 22, 2023) with no FINRA CRD number given.

What this means People paid to sell securities normally hold a FINRA registration with a CRD number. Without one we cannot look them up on BrokerCheck. Ask who they are and whether they are registered.

Form D filed 322 days after the first sale — Energy Evolution Master Fund, Ltd.

The filing says the first sale was Jun 1, 2021. The Form D was filed Apr 19, 2022 — 322 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 307 days past that.

What this means The notice went in months after money was taken in. Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves, but it is fair to ask the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Mason Matschke's role changed at Energy Evolution Master Fund, Ltd.: executive officer → executive officer, director

The Apr 19, 2022 filing lists Mason Matschke as executive officer; the Aug 22, 2023 Form D/A lists executive officer, director.

What this means Roles on Form D are self-reported by the issuer. A change can mean a real change in who runs the company, or just a different box ticked. Ask who makes decisions today.

The Apr 19, 2022 filing says $51,000,000 offered; the Aug 22, 2023 Form D/A says an indefinite amount.

Sterling Mulacek is written 2 different ways on the filings

listed as "Sterling A Mulacek" on the Jan 14, 2022 filing, and "Sterling Mulacek" on 5 filings (from Apr 19, 2022).

What this means Same person, written differently — a middle name or suffix left off, or spelled another way. It is normal, but check that the full legal name matches your subscription documents.

Member companies were formed in 3 different states

Nevada (1), Cayman Islands (1), Delaware (1) — out of 3 member issuers. The odd ones out: Energy Evolution Master Fund, Ltd. (Cayman Islands); Mineral Resources Louisiana, LLC (Delaware).

What this means Sponsors often form each deal company in Delaware or Wyoming no matter where the property is. A mix is common; it just tells you which state's rules each company lives under.

What is compared

What is compared: every Form D and D/A we hold for this subject, side by side — filing dates vs. first-sale dates (the 15-day rule), amendment timing on open offerings (the yearly-amendment expectation), amounts sold, investor counts, offering amounts and minimums across amendments, industry and size bands, addresses, how each person's name and role is written, paid sellers' CRD numbers, and (for groups) where the member companies were formed and sit. Everything is as filed by the issuer; the SEC does not check it. Differences are common and usually have ordinary explanations — we show both values, the dates, and the source so you can ask. As of Oct 24, 2026.

How this is counted

Counts come from Form D Items 12–15 on the filings in our index (latest filing per offering; one offering = one SEC file number; an amendment updates its offering rather than adding one). "To insiders" = gross proceeds used for payments to executive officers, directors or promoters. "—" = not reported on that filing. Amounts marked (est.) were reported as estimates. "Paid to sell it" = sales compensation recipients named on that filing (Item 12), each linked to FINRA BrokerCheck when a CRD number is reported.

Counted across all 3 issuers in this group — every filing in our index, latest filing per offering (SEC file number).
