The short version

David Shaffer is listed as an executive officer, director, and promoter on 5 SEC Form D filings by 4 issuers between Jan 2015 and Sep 2026: WRC Sherman Oaks Invest, LLC (Dallas, TX — commercial — 2017; $1.7M reported sold to 24 investors), WRC Victory, LLC (Dallas, TX — commercial — 2018–2021; $1.69M reported sold to 21 investors), Wellington Woodside Invest, LLC (Dallas, TX — residential — 2015; $900K reported sold to 7 investors) and WRC Fund I, LP (Dallas, TX — commercial — 2026).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 4 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, director, and promoter, over about 11 years. Across those companies the filings report $4.29M sold in total.

Listed alongside Chris Clark (1 shared filing), Jay Reinke (1 shared filing), WRC Fund I GP, LLC (1 shared filing, management entity) and WRC REI, LLC (1 shared filing, 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.

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) — 3 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 3 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 5 public filings for David Shaffer and found 6 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 70 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

6 differences found between the filings for David Shaffer — 1 worth asking about (compared 5 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Nov 9, 2017 – Jan 18, 2018

Form D filed 70 days after the first sale — WRC Victory, LLC

The filing says the first sale was Nov 9, 2017. The Form D was filed Jan 18, 2018 — 70 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 55 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 30, 2017 – Mar 7, 2017

Form D filed 36 days after the first sale — WRC Sherman Oaks Invest, LLC

The filing says the first sale was Jan 30, 2017. The Form D was filed Mar 7, 2017 — 36 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 21 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 · Sep 15, 2021 – Sep 22, 2021

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — WRC Victory, LLC (latest filing Sep 22, 2021)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Sep 22, 2021 (first sale Sep 15, 2021). It reports $1,685,000 sold of $2,110,000 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 · Nov 9, 2017 – Jan 18, 2018

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — WRC Victory, LLC (latest filing Jan 18, 2018)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jan 18, 2018 (first sale Nov 9, 2017). It reports $1,285,000 sold of $2,395,000 offered. No later amendment is in our index as of Oct 24, 2026.

Sources
Note · Jan 18, 2018 – Sep 22, 2021

David Shaffer's role changed at WRC Victory, LLC: director → executive officer

The Jan 18, 2018 filing lists David Shaffer as director; the Sep 22, 2021 Form D lists executive officer.

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 · Oct 30, 2009 – Jun 2, 2010

Same name, different state: "David Shaffer" (NY) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is TX. A separate record, "David Shaffer" with address state NY, is listed on 2 filings — most recently by KNOVEL CORP (Jun 2, 2010). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Jan 8, 2015 to Sep 21, 2026; the other runs Oct 30, 2009 to Jun 2, 2010.

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.

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.

"Paid to sell it" = sales compensation recipients named on that filing (Item 12), each linked to FINRA BrokerCheck when a CRD number is reported.
