The short version

AARON VARASTEH is listed as an executive officer and director on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Aug 2023: Cara Wines, Inc. (Casper, WY — industry reported as "Other" — 2023).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Aug 2023. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment — it is a notice, not an approval.

No other person or management entity is listed on the same filings.

What this means The filings name this person alone — no co-officers, directors or promoters were listed.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 1 court case matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 1 record 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.

Key records

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

1. Lawsuits

1 case: 1 closed (disposition not in docket feed)

Mehdi Varasteh v. Michael Chertoff closed

District Court, C.D. California · No. 8:07-cv-01300 · Filed Nov 5, 2007 · Closed May 9, 2008 · Nature of suit: 190 Other contract actions

Role of Mehdi Varasteh: Plaintiff · Outcome: Terminated 2008-05-09 — FJC Integrated Database disposition: Transfer to another district Docket on CourtListener ↗

same rare surname (1 person in Form D filings, 1 federal dockets); different first name (mehdi); court in the person's filing state (CA)

What was searched

Sources searched: CourtListener bulk data (RECAP dockets as of 2026-09-30; recall-first rule 10-24) — federal district + bankruptcy courts State courts: not covered (one-tap state court links under Look further). PACER: not searched. · Last checked Oct 24, 2026, 2:55 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 covered (one-tap state court links under Look further). 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

None found in sources searched — SEC enforcement releases (index scan as of Oct 24, 2026, 2:50 AM ET) · state securities regulators: AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA (crawled Oct 23, 2026)

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. — Searched SEC litigation releases and administrative proceedings (1995→ / 2007→) (30,205 records as of Oct 24, 2026, 2:50 AM ET) — nothing matched AARON VARASTEH..

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 are not covered.

3. Bankruptcies

None found in sources searched — federal bankruptcy courts (CourtListener / RECAP), checked Oct 24, 2026

What was searched

Sources searched: Federal bankruptcy courts via CourtListener / RECAP archive (federal district courts, federal bankruptcy courts). State courts: not covered (one-tap state court links under Look further). PACER: not searched (RECAP only). · Last checked Oct 24, 2026, 2:55 AM ET.

4. Differences between public sources

Comparisons cover issuers and sponsor groups — see the issuer pages under Deals

No differences found between the public filings we have for AARON VARASTEH (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026).

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.

5. Money to insiders

0 of 1 offering report sales commissions; 0 report finder's fees; 1 reports proceeds to related persons totalling $24,000. (includes amounts the issuer reported as estimates)

Offering (latest filing)	Sales commissions	Finder's fees	To insiders	Paid to sell it	Source
Aug 8, 2023 D Cara Wines, Inc. File 021-489128	$0	$0	$24,000 (est.)	None no CRD number reported	EDGAR ↗

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 every filing this person is listed on (latest filing per offering, per issuer).
