The short version

Crystal is a sponsor group of 2 issuers that PartnerFacts links to one sponsor (shared people, same person name on both filings; automatic match from the filings), filing 8 Form D filings between Apr 2011 and Feb 2012.

What this means One team, 2 deal companies, about 1 year 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: $4.81M to 156 investors (latest filing per issuer). Industries as reported: "Other" (2). Issuers are based in AZ (1), CA (1).

What this means $4.81M raised across the group, about $31K per investor. Amounts come from each company's latest Form D; they are what the sponsor reported, not audited figures.

Principal people: JOHN McNEIL (2 issuers, executive officer), Peter Pocklington (2 issuers, executive officer), G. Howard Eaton (1 issuer, executive officer), George Howard Eaton (1 issuer, executive officer) and Terrence Walton (1 issuer, executive officer).

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 Feb 16, 2012.

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

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA), property records (NYC, FL, IL and TX counties) — 1 court case matching the name, 4 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below. Not yet searched: SEC enforcement releases.

What this means 5 records came back. 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.

What the community is saying

Nothing found on Reddit, BiggerPockets or community forums for high-net-worth investors (searched Oct 24, 2026) — search queued; this line updates when it has run.

Community comments are quoted as written by their authors. Sources searched: BiggerPockets forums (via DuckDuckGo, Brave, Bing and BiggerPockets search) and Reddit (search feed + public archive).

Key records

Five things investors ask first. Items still in human review are counted, not shown.

1. Lawsuits

1 case: 1 judgment

Crystal Company v. Inchcape Shipping judgment matched at sponsor-group level (Crystal)

District Court, N.D. California · No. 4:96-cv-03747 · Filed Oct 16, 1996 · Closed Aug 12, 1998 · Nature of suit: 190 Other contract actions

Role of Crystal Company: Plaintiff · Outcome: Terminated 1998-08-12 — FJC Integrated Database disposition: Judgment on motion before trial; judgment for defendant Docket on CourtListener ↗

exact company name; name has one distinctive word; court in the group's state (CA); filed 1996, issuer incorporated 2009

What was searched

Sources searched: CourtListener bulk data (RECAP dockets as of 2026-09-30; recall-first rule 10-24) — federal district + bankruptcy courts; live RECAP re-check pending. State courts: not yet searched. PACER: not searched. · Last checked Oct 24, 2026, 2:17 AM ET.

Court records show docket facts only; we never restate allegations as facts. Outcome wording comes from the docket feed; where it does not state a disposition we say so.

State courts: not yet searched. No state offers a lawful automated statewide source PartnerFacts can use today. Texas (re:SearchTX) terms prohibit storing results in a database open to third parties; New York (WebCivil) and Massachusetts (MassCourts) require a browser check that blocks scripted queries; California has no statewide index (58 county portals; Rule of Court 2.503 grants name-based access case by case); Florida, Utah and Illinois offer paid or partial access whose terms for automated use are unverified. Washington (dw.courts.wa.gov; bulk index reports under a JISC data-dissemination agreement), Delaware (CourtConnect; Court of Chancery not included) and Arizona (apps.azcourts.gov/publicaccess, which has an official channel to request high-volume access) are the candidates; PartnerFacts will request written permission before any automated search. Federal courts are searched through CourtListener / RECAP.

2. Regulatory actions

Not yet searched

What was searched

SEC enforcement searched: SEC litigation releases and administrative proceedings — respondent names in the sec.gov index titles (30,205 releases, 1995-09-19 to 2026-10-23); release text is read only to confirm a candidate. Names that appear only in the body of a release are not found. — not yet searched.

State securities regulators searched: AZ (Corporation Commission Securities Division), CA (DFPI — 16 of 12,159 DFPI respondent pages read so far; sponsor-name matches are read first), DE (DOJ Investor Protection Unit), TX (State Securities Board), WA (DFI) — last crawled Oct 23, 2026, 9:57 PM ET. Other states: not yet searched.

4. Differences between public sources

No comparisons published

What is compared

No public statement by this sponsor group has been collected yet, so there is nothing to compare. Sources compared: the sponsor's own website (known from the issuer's own filings — Form C issuer website, EDGAR company profile — an approved profile claim or Form ADV Item 1.I of its matched adviser) · SEC Form D · SEC Form ADV (IAPD) · Internet Archive · No website is on file for this sponsor group yet.

5. Money to insiders

0 of 3 offerings report sales commissions; 2 report finder's fees totalling $4,780,000; 2 report proceeds to related persons totalling $3,260,000. (includes amounts the issuer reported as estimates)

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 2 issuers in this group — every filing in our index, latest filing per offering (SEC file number).
