The short version

Daniel Marks is listed as an executive officer on 2 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers in Jul 2019: Emporium SF, LLC (San Francisco, CA — restaurants — 2019; $1.4M reported sold to 30 investors) and Emporium Oakland, LLC (Oakland, CA — restaurants — 2019; $1000K reported sold to 30 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer. Across those companies the filings report $2.4M sold in total.

No other person or management entity is listed on the same filings.

What this means The filings name this person alone — no co-officers, directors or promoters were listed.

All 2 issuers belong to the sponsor group Emporium (2 issuers, $2.4M reported sold, 2019).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Emporium has 2 companies on file and $2.4M 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, 18 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 20 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 Daniel Marks and found 4 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 306 days after the first sale; Form D filed 1,008 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 Daniel Marks — 2 worth asking about (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Sep 13, 2018 – Jul 16, 2019

Form D filed 306 days after the first sale — Emporium Oakland, LLC

The filing says the first sale was Sep 13, 2018. The Form D was filed Jul 16, 2019 — 306 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 291 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.

Sources
Worth asking · Oct 11, 2016 – Jul 16, 2019

Form D filed 1,008 days after the first sale — Emporium SF, LLC

The filing says the first sale was Oct 11, 2016. The Form D was filed Jul 16, 2019 — 1,008 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 993 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.

Sources
Note · Sep 13, 2018 – Jul 16, 2019

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Emporium Oakland, LLC (latest filing Jul 16, 2019)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jul 16, 2019 (first sale Sep 13, 2018). It reports $999,986 sold of $1,000,000 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.

Sources
Note · Dec 21, 2022

Same name, different state: "Daniel Marks" (LA) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA. A separate record, "Daniel Marks" with address state LA, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by Emporium NOLA LLC (Dec 21, 2022). The two records do not overlap in time: this page has one filing dated Jul 16, 2019; the other has one filing dated Dec 21, 2022.

What this means Could be the same person who moved, or two people with the same name. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

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