The short version

Charles James is listed as an executive officer on 2 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Oct 2022 and Feb 2025: Convenient Holdings Fund I, LLC (Los Angeles, CA — commercial — 2022; $21M reported sold to 8 investors) and Convenient Holdings Fund II, LLC (Santa Monica, CA — commercial — 2025; $20M reported sold to 3 investors).

Listed alongside Daniel James (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.

All 2 issuers belong to the sponsor group Convenient (2 issuers, $41M reported sold, 2022–2025).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Convenient has 2 companies on file and $41M reported sold in total — the group page shows the whole track record in one place.

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, 7 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 9 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 James and found 7 differences: Form D filed 22 days after the first sale; Form D filed 29 days after the first sale; 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

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

Note · Jan 30, 2025 – Feb 21, 2025

Form D filed 22 days after the first sale — Convenient Holdings Fund II, LLC

The filing says the first sale was Jan 30, 2025. The Form D was filed Feb 21, 2025 — 22 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 7 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 · Sep 15, 2022 – Oct 14, 2022

Form D filed 29 days after the first sale — Convenient Holdings Fund I, LLC

The filing says the first sale was Sep 15, 2022. The Form D was filed Oct 14, 2022 — 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 · Sep 15, 2022 – Oct 14, 2022

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Convenient Holdings Fund I, LLC (latest filing Oct 14, 2022)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Oct 14, 2022 (first sale Sep 15, 2022). It reports $21,020,000 sold of $30,000,000 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.
