The short version

Chris Black is listed as an executive officer and director on 4 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between May 2021 and Dec 2025: THREAD BANCORP, INC. (Brentwood, TN — commercial banking — 2021–2025; $46.7M reported sold to 83 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 John Philpott (4 shared filings), Sarah Biller (4 shared filings), Bud Watts (3 shared filings), Clif Howard (3 shared filings), Gene Dibble (3 shared filings) and 5 others.

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

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, LA, ME, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, NH, NM, OR, RI, TX, WA) — 12 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 4 public filings for Chris Black and found 4 differences: Same name, different state: "Chris Black" (TX) is a separate record; Same name, different state: "Chris Black" (CO or CA) is a separate record; 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 found between the filings for Chris Black (compared 4 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Mar 11, 2025 – Jun 5, 2025

Same name, different state: "Chris Black" (TX) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is TN. A separate record, "Chris Black" with address state TX, is listed on 2 filings — most recently by Moblyze Inc. (Jun 5, 2025). Both records have filings in the same period (Mar 11, 2025 to Jun 5, 2025).

What this means Two records with one name were active at the same time. That can be one person listing different company addresses, or two different people. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

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
