The short version

Alvin Ray is listed as a director on 5 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Apr 2009 and Jun 2017: First Alliance Bancshares, Inc. (Cordova, TN — commercial banking — 2009–2017; $400K reported sold to 6 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC. 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 Christopher Steven DeStephanis (5 shared filings), KaRe Alford Walsh (5 shared filings), Lawrence Keith Jensen (5 shared filings), Leon Hunt Campbell (5 shared filings), Rose Johnson Garrett (5 shared filings) and 4 others.

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

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 2 court cases matching the name, 10 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 12 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.

We compared 5 public filings for Alvin Ray and found 9 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: Amount sold went down between filings; Investor count 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.

4. Differences between public sources

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

9 differences found between the filings for Alvin Ray — 2 worth asking about (compared 5 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Apr 16, 2009

Amount sold went down between filings — First Alliance Bancshares, Inc.

The Apr 16, 2009 filing says $233,748 sold; the Apr 16, 2009 Form D says $0 sold — $233,748 less.

What this means Amounts sold normally only go up as a raise continues. A drop can mean investors were refunded, a figure was corrected, or an earlier number was wrong. Ask the sponsor which it was.

Worth asking · Apr 16, 2009

Investor count went down between filings — First Alliance Bancshares, Inc.

The Apr 16, 2009 filing reports 6 investors; the Apr 16, 2009 Form D reports 0 investors.

What this means Investor counts normally only grow. A smaller number can mean investors left or were refunded, or a count was corrected. Ask the sponsor what happened.

Note · May 25, 2017 – Jun 13, 2017

Form D filed 19 days after the first sale — First Alliance Bancshares, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was May 25, 2017. The Form D was filed Jun 13, 2017 — 19 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 4 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.

The Apr 16, 2009 filing says $1,500,000 offered; the Apr 16, 2009 Form D says $3,500,000.

What this means The target raise changed. Raising the cap is common when a deal grows; ask whether the extra money has the same terms and use.

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jun 13, 2017 (first sale May 25, 2017). It reports $95,000 sold of $2,670,000 offered. No later amendment is in our index as of Oct 24, 2026.

What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. The raise may simply have ended — a Form D does not say when it closed. Ask the sponsor whether the offering closed, when, and at what amount.

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.

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).
