The short version

David A. Spuria is listed as an executive officer, director, and promoter on 4 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between Jan 2011 and May 2017: Southlake Equity Fund, LLC (Southlake, TX — pooled investment fund — 2017; $99.4M reported sold to 28 investors), American Trailer Works Inc (Southlake, TX — manufacturing — 2011–2015; $91.1M reported sold to 50 investors) and Waples Holdings Inc (Southlake, TX — manufacturing — 2012; $17.8M reported sold to 17 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 3 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, director, and promoter, over about 6 years. Across those companies the filings report $208.2M sold in total.

Listed alongside Thomas C. Keene (4 shared filings), G. Rainey Williams (3 shared filings), Doug Z. Clark (2 shared filings), Douglas D. Wheat (2 shared filings), Shannon Self (2 shared filings) and 7 others.

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

All 3 issuers belong to the sponsor group American Trailer (3 issuers, $139.6M reported sold, 2011–2017).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. American Trailer has 3 companies on file and $139.6M 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 (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — none found.

What this means Nothing turned up where we looked (3 sources). That does not prove there is nothing — it means none was found in those sources on that date.

We compared 4 public filings for David A. Spuria and found 5 differences: Form D filed 34 days after the first sale; Form D filed 19 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

5 differences found between the filings for David A. Spuria (compared 4 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Mar 9, 2012 – Apr 12, 2012

Form D filed 34 days after the first sale — Waples Holdings Inc

The filing says the first sale was Mar 9, 2012. The Form D was filed Apr 12, 2012 — 34 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 19 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.

Sources
Note · Dec 22, 2010 – Jan 10, 2011

Form D filed 19 days after the first sale — American Trailer Works Inc

The filing says the first sale was Dec 22, 2010. The Form D was filed Jan 10, 2011 — 19 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 4 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.

Sources
Note · Jan 10, 2011 – Jul 2, 2015

David A. Spuria's role changed at American Trailer Works Inc: executive officer, promoter → executive officer, director

The Jan 10, 2011 filing lists David A. Spuria as executive officer, promoter; the Jul 2, 2015 Form D lists executive officer, director.

What this means Roles on Form D are self-reported by the issuer. A change can mean a real change in who runs the company, or just a different box ticked. Ask who makes decisions today.

Sources
Note · Apr 28, 2017 – May 9, 2017

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Southlake Equity Fund, LLC (latest filing May 9, 2017)

The latest filing for this offering is dated May 9, 2017 (first sale Apr 28, 2017). It reports $99,360,000 sold of an indefinite amount 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 · Jan 10, 2011 – May 9, 2017

David A. Spuria is written 2 different ways on the filings

listed as "David A Spuria" on 3 filings (from Jan 10, 2011), and "David Alan Spuria" on the May 9, 2017 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.

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

0 of 4 offerings report sales commissions; 0 report finder's fees; 2 report proceeds to related persons totalling $9,122,096. (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).
