The short version

Daniel Hellams is listed as an executive officer and promoter on 16 SEC Form D filings by 6 issuers between Apr 2009 and Aug 2026. Largest by amount reported sold: Oak Fund VI, LLC (Augusta, GA — commercial — 2022–2026; $26.8M reported sold to 75 investors), Oak Opportunity Investments, LLC (Augusta, GA — commercial — 2010–2011; $12.8M reported sold to 67 investors), Oak Fund III, LLC (Augusta, GA — other real estate — 2012–2013; $9.03M reported sold to 32 investors), Oak Fund V, LLC (Augusta, GA — commercial — 2018), Oak Fund IV, LLC (Augusta, GA — other real estate — 2014) and 1 more (all listed below).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 6 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and promoter, over about 17 years. Across those companies the filings report $48.6M sold in total.

Listed alongside Victor J. Mills (16 shared filings), C. Mark Senn (13 shared filings), Oak Capital VI, LLC (5 shared filings, management entity), Matthew D Mills (3 shared filings), Mark Oak Capital II, (2 shared filings, management entity) and 1 others.

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

All 6 issuers belong to the sponsor group Oak (8 issuers, $52.3M reported sold, 2009–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Oak has 8 companies on file and $52.3M reported sold in total — the group page shows the whole track record in one place.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 2 court cases matching the name, 2 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below. Not yet searched: SEC enforcement releases.

What this means 4 records came back, including 1 court case still open — open cases can take years and cost money. 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.

Court records show docket facts only; we never restate allegations as facts. Outcome wording comes from the docket feed; where it does not state a disposition we say so.

State courts: not yet searched. No state offers a lawful automated statewide source PartnerFacts can use today. Texas (re:SearchTX) terms prohibit storing results in a database open to third parties; New York (WebCivil) and Massachusetts (MassCourts) require a browser check that blocks scripted queries; California has no statewide index (58 county portals; Rule of Court 2.503 grants name-based access case by case); Florida, Utah and Illinois offer paid or partial access whose terms for automated use are unverified. Washington (dw.courts.wa.gov; bulk index reports under a JISC data-dissemination agreement), Delaware (CourtConnect; Court of Chancery not included) and Arizona (apps.azcourts.gov/publicaccess, which has an official channel to request high-volume access) are the candidates; PartnerFacts will request written permission before any automated search. Federal courts are searched through CourtListener / RECAP.

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).
