The short version

David Gillespie is listed as an executive officer and director on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Apr 2014: World Fishing Champions LLC (North Richland Hills, TX — industry reported as "Other" — 2014; $4.13M reported sold to 46 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Apr 2014. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment — it is a notice, not an approval.

Listed alongside Brian A. Carlson (1 shared filing), Chris Carruth (1 shared filing), Scott Carlson (1 shared filing) and William Carlson (1 shared filing).

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.

The issuer belongs to the sponsor group Convergence (3 issuers, $4.13M reported sold, 2010–2014).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Convergence has 3 companies on file and $4.13M 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) — 42 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 42 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 1 public filing for David Gillespie and found 2 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 500 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

2 differences found between the filings for David Gillespie — 1 worth asking about (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Dec 14, 2012 – Apr 28, 2014

Form D filed 500 days after the first sale — World Fishing Champions LLC

The filing says the first sale was Dec 14, 2012. The Form D was filed Apr 28, 2014 — 500 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 485 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 · Dec 14, 2012 – Apr 28, 2014

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — World Fishing Champions LLC (latest filing Apr 28, 2014)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Apr 28, 2014 (first sale Dec 14, 2012). It reports $4,133,600 sold of $6,500,000 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
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 1 offering — no sales commissions, finder's fees or proceeds to insiders
