All 3 issuers belong to the sponsor group Whcg (3 issuers, $18.1M reported sold, 2026).

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 1 bankruptcy case matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 1 record 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 3 public filings for Christopher Allen Runnels and found 4 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 765 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

4 differences found between the filings for Christopher Allen Runnels — 1 worth asking about (compared 3 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Jan 16, 2024 – Feb 19, 2026

Form D filed 765 days after the first sale — WHCG, LP

The filing says the first sale was Jan 16, 2024. The Form D was filed Feb 19, 2026 — 765 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 750 days past that.

What this means The notice went in months after money was taken in. Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves, but it is fair to ask the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Note · Jul 9, 2026 – Aug 10, 2026

Form D filed 32 days after the first sale — WHCG Fund Series 2, LP

The filing says the first sale was Jul 9, 2026. The Form D was filed Aug 10, 2026 — 32 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 17 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.

Christopher Allen Runnels is written 2 different ways on the filings

listed as "Christopher Allen Runnels" on 2 filings (from Feb 19, 2026), and "Christopher Runnels" on the Jun 1, 2026 filing.

What this means Same person, written differently — a middle name or suffix left off, or spelled another way. It is normal, but check that the full legal name matches your subscription documents.

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 3 offerings — no sales commissions, finder's fees or proceeds to insiders
