The short version

Charles Epperson is listed as an executive officer and promoter on 2 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Dec 2015 and Dec 2016: HopFusion Ale Works, LLC (Fort Worth, TX — industry reported as "Other" — 2015–2016; $645K reported sold to 14 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 Macy Moore (2 shared filings) and Matt Hill (2 shared filings).

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Charles. 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) — 16 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 16 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 2 public filings for Charles Epperson and found 3 differences: Charles Epperson's role changed at HopFusion Ale Works, LLC: executive officer, promoter → promoter; Offering amount changed 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

3 differences found between the filings for Charles Epperson (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Dec 31, 2015 – Dec 30, 2016

Charles Epperson's role changed at HopFusion Ale Works, LLC: executive officer, promoter → promoter

The Dec 31, 2015 filing lists Charles Epperson as executive officer, promoter; the Dec 30, 2016 Form D/A lists promoter.

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.

Sources
Note · Dec 31, 2015 – Dec 30, 2016

Offering amount changed between filings — HopFusion Ale Works, LLC

The Dec 31, 2015 filing says $500,000 offered; the Dec 30, 2016 Form D/A says $750,000.

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.

Sources
Note · Jan 1, 2016 – Dec 30, 2016

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — HopFusion Ale Works, LLC (latest filing Dec 30, 2016)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Dec 30, 2016 (first sale Jan 1, 2016). It reports $645,000 sold of $750,000 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.

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

None reported on 1 offering — no sales commissions, finder's fees or proceeds to insiders

"Paid to sell it" = sales compensation recipients named on that filing (Item 12), each linked to FINRA BrokerCheck when a CRD number is reported.
