The short version

Daniel F. Carlson is listed as an executive officer and director on 19 SEC Form D filings by 4 issuers between Jul 2010 and Nov 2016: COLOMBIA ENERGY RESOURCES, INC. (San Francisco, CA — coal mining — 2010–2013; $29.2M reported sold to 34 investors), American Sands Energy Corp. (Salt Lake City, UT — industry reported as "Other" — 2011–2014; $8.36M reported sold to 39 investors), QUANTUM MATERIALS CORP. (San Marcos, TX — other energy — 2016; $1.97M reported sold to 19 investors) and LIFE Power & Fuels LLC (San Rafael, CA — other energy — 2011; $400K reported sold to 8 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 4 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 6 years. Across those companies the filings report $39.9M sold in total.

Listed alongside Edward P. Mooney (15 shared filings), William C. Gibbs (10 shared filings), Mark Lindsey (8 shared filings), Gayle McKeachinie (7 shared filings), Justin R. Swift (6 shared filings) and 22 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.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, DE, FINRA, FL, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 1 state regulator order, 5 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 6 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 19 public filings for Daniel F. Carlson and found 18 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: 5 filings report more than 10% of the money raised going to insiders; Form D filed 204 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

18 differences found between the filings for Daniel F. Carlson — 2 worth asking about (compared 19 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Jan 4, 2011 – Nov 9, 2016

5 filings report more than 10% of the money raised going to insiders

85% of the money raised went to insiders — American Sands Energy Corp. · 18% of the money raised went to insiders — QUANTUM MATERIALS CORP. · 18% of the money raised went to insiders — QUANTUM MATERIALS CORP. · 13% of the money raised went to insiders — American Sands Energy Corp. · 19% of the money raised went to insiders — LIFE Power & Fuels LLC

Form D filed 204 days after the first sale — LIFE Power & Fuels LLC

The filing says the first sale was Jun 14, 2010. The Form D was filed Jan 4, 2011 — 204 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 189 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.

listed as "Daniel Carlson" on 6 filings (from Jul 6, 2010), and "Daniel F. Carlson" on 13 filings (from Apr 5, 2011).

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 this means The issuer described its business differently on different forms. Often it is just a different box ticked; sometimes the deal itself changed. Ask which business your money is in.

TX on 3 filings (Jul 6, 2010 to Nov 9, 2016); CA on 16 filings (Dec 23, 2010 to Apr 14, 2014).

What this means The address on a Form D is usually the company's, not the person's home, so this often just reflects different companies. It can also mean a move. Nothing wrong by itself.

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

5 of 15 offerings report sales commissions totalling $2,452,126; 0 report finder's fees; 5 report proceeds to related persons totalling $1,286,667. (includes amounts the issuer reported as estimates)

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).

Deals 4

Every issuer that named Daniel F. Carlson on a Form D, newest first. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment.

The team behind the deals

Same business address

51 other issuers file from the same address (first 50 shown)

A shared address can mean the same team, a shared office building or a registered agent. It is a lead, not a conclusion.

Registrations and other filings

Business registration (state registry / Secretary of State)

Individuals are not matched to business registrations — registries list companies, and a name alone is not enough to tie a person to one. Officers and managers appear by name inside each matched company's record on the issuer pages. Registries searched: AL (Alabama Secretary of State — Business Entity Records (arc-sos.state.al.us), searched by issuer name, data as of Oct 24, 2026); CO (Colorado Secretary of State — Business Entities in Colorado (data.colorado.gov), data as of Oct 23, 2026); CT (Connecticut Secretary of the State — Business Registry (data.ct.gov), data as of Oct 24, 2026); FL (Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations — quarterly corporate data file (Sunbiz), data as of Oct 7, 2026); NY (New York Department of State — Corporations and Other Entities (data.ny.gov: All Filings + Active Corporations), data as of Oct 20, 2026); OR (Oregon Secretary of State — Active Businesses, All (data.oregon.gov), data as of Oct 20, 2026); PA (Pennsylvania Department of State — Registered Businesses, Current (data.pa.gov), data as of Oct 6, 2026); TX (Texas Comptroller — Active Franchise Taxpayers incl. Secretary of State file data (data.texas.gov), data as of Oct 24, 2026). Registries of other states have not been searched: many publish no bulk file and require a CAPTCHA or bot challenge on their search page, which we do not bypass (Delaware, for example, offers no public bulk file).

Adviser registration (Form ADV)

None of the 4 issuers this person is listed on appears in Form ADV (searched 24,962 advisers as of Oct 2, 2026). A person is never an adviser firm; Form ADV is checked for the issuers and the management companies they are listed with.

Other offering types (Regulation A and Regulation Crowdfunding)

Searched SEC Regulation A Data Sets (Forms 1-A, 1-K, 1-Z; 2015 Q2 → 2026 Q3); SEC Crowdfunding Offerings Data Sets (Form C family; 2016 Q2 → 2026 Q3); EDGAR form index for 2026 Q3 → 2026 Q4 (51,358 records as of Oct 23, 2026, 8:41 PM ET) — nothing matched this name.

Property records none — individuals are not matched

Property records are matched to companies only, never to individuals, so none are matched to Daniel F. Carlson by design. Searched property records in Hillsborough County FL (Clerk recorded-document index Oct 14, 2026 to Oct 15, 2026 + FL DOR 2026 ownership roll), Miami-Dade County FL (FL DOR 2026 ownership roll), Harris County TX (HCAD 2026 ownership roll), Dallas County TX (DCAD 2026 ownership roll), New York City ACRIS documents and PLUTO ownership rows already retrieved for other issuers, Cook County IL sale and ownership rows already retrieved for other issuers (814,874 records as of Oct 23, 2026, 8:59 PM ET) for the 4 issuers this person is listed on — nothing matched.
