The short version

David M. Ferris is listed as an executive officer and promoter on 8 SEC Form D filings by 8 issuers between Dec 2013 and Sep 2018. Largest by amount reported sold: FD Special Opportunities V, LLC (Marlborough, MA — pooled investment fund — 2017; $15.3M reported sold to 45 investors), FD Special Opportunities I, LLC (Marlborough, MA — pooled investment fund — 2017; $14.4M reported sold to 34 investors), FD Special Opportunities III, LLC (Marlborough, MA — pooled investment fund — 2017; $10.5M reported sold to 32 investors), FD Special Opportunities II, LLC (Marlborough, MA — pooled investment fund — 2017; $10.4M reported sold to 37 investors), FD Special Opportunities IV, LLC (Marlborough, MA — pooled investment fund — 2017; $3.06M reported sold to 30 investors) and 3 more (all listed below).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 8 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and promoter, over about 5 years. Across those companies the filings report $59M sold in total.

Listed alongside Waquoit Bay LLC (4 shared filings, management entity).

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 8 issuers belong to the sponsor group Waquoit Bay (8 issuers, $59M reported sold, 2013–2018).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Waquoit Bay has 8 companies on file and $59M 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, 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) — 31 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 31 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 8 public filings for David M. Ferris and found 2 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: 6 Form Ds were filed more than 15 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 M. Ferris — 1 worth asking about (compared 8 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Jan 11, 2014 – Feb 13, 2018

6 Form Ds were filed more than 15 days after the first sale

Form D filed 686 days after the first sale — Black Wolf Special Opportunities I, LLC · Form D filed 1,371 days after the first sale — FD Special Opportunities I, LLC · Form D filed 380 days after the first sale — FD Special Opportunities IV, LLC · Form D filed 1,327 days after the first sale — FD Special Opportunities II, LLC · Form D filed 339 days after the first sale — FD Special Opportunities V, LLC · and 1 more

What this means Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves. A pattern of late paperwork is worth asking the sponsor about.

Note · Oct 13, 2017

Formed in 2015 per the latest filing, but activity is dated 2014 — FD Special Opportunities II, LLC

The issuer's latest filing says it was formed in 2015. The Oct 13, 2017 filing says the first sale was Feb 24, 2014 — before that year.

What this means A company cannot sell before it exists, so one of the two dates is likely a typo on the form. Ask the sponsor for the formation document.

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.

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).

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); KY (Kentucky Secretary of State — Business Entity Search (sosbes.sos.ky.gov), searched by issuer name, data as of Oct 24, 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 8 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 David M. Ferris 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 8 issuers this person is listed on — nothing matched.
