The short version

Adrian Corless is listed as an executive officer and director on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Oct 2021: Carbon Capture, Inc. (Pasadena, CA — industry reported as "Other" — 2021; $35M reported sold to 17 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Oct 2021. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment — it is a notice, not an approval.

Listed alongside Bill Gross (1 shared filing), Brandon Simmons (1 shared filing), Carly Anderson (1 shared filing), Lindsy Sanders (1 shared filing) and Tom McGovern (1 shared filing).

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Adrian. Each name links to their own page.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 2 court cases matching the name, 1 SEC release, 6 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 9 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 1 public filing for Adrian Corless and found 2 differences: Form D filed 29 days after the first sale; Same name, different state: "Adrian Corless" (A1) is a separate record.

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.

4. Differences between public sources

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

2 differences found between the filings for Adrian Corless (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Sep 22, 2021 – Oct 21, 2021

Form D filed 29 days after the first sale — Carbon Capture, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Sep 22, 2021. The Form D was filed Oct 21, 2021 — 29 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 14 days past that.

What this means A late notice is common and carries no penalty by itself. It is worth asking the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Sources
Note · Nov 30, 2016

Same name, different state: "Adrian Corless" (A1) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA. A separate record, "Adrian Corless" with address state A1, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by CARBON ENGINEERING LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (Nov 30, 2016). The two records do not overlap in time: this page has one filing dated Oct 21, 2021; the other has one filing dated Nov 30, 2016.

What this means Could be the same person who moved, or two people with the same name. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

Sources
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

"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.
