The short version

Edward Mainous is listed as an executive officer and director on 8 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Sep 2019 and Dec 2021: ILY Holdings, LLC (Boulder, CO — industry reported as "Other" — 2019–2021; $50M reported sold to 11 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC. 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 Hass Hassan (8 shared filings), Howard Steyn (8 shared filings), Jason Sowers (8 shared filings), Michael Meyer (8 shared filings), Rhonda Jordan (8 shared filings) and 4 others.

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

The issuer belongs to the sponsor group Ily (2 issuers, $3.84M reported sold, 2017–2023).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Ily has 2 companies on file and $3.84M 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, 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) — 4 court cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 4 records came back, including 1 court case still open — open cases can take years and cost money. 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 Edward Mainous and found 2 differences: 4 court cases name Edward Mainous; 5 offerings have no amendment in the last 12 months and may still be open.

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 Edward Mainous (compared 8 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Oct 17, 2012 – Dec 9, 2019

4 court cases name Edward Mainous — 1 as defendant

By role: defendant in 1, plaintiff in 3. Newest: "U.S. Lawns, Inc. v. Mainous" (District Court, S.D. Alabama, Dec 9, 2019); "Mainous v. U.S. Lawns, Inc." (District Court, S.D. Alabama, Nov 13, 2019); "Mainous v. Ethicon, Inc." (District Court, N.D. Georgia, May 23, 2018). Some of these are name matches with a match estimate below 95% — check each docket.

What this means Several court cases name this subject. Some are routine business suits. Ask what each was about and how it ended.

Sources
Note · Oct 15, 2019 – Dec 17, 2021

5 offerings have no amendment in the last 12 months and may still be open

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — ILY Holdings, LLC (latest filing Dec 17, 2021) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — ILY Holdings, LLC (latest filing Oct 20, 2021) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — ILY Holdings, LLC (latest filing Jul 23, 2020) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — ILY Holdings, LLC (latest filing Jun 17, 2020) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — ILY Holdings, LLC (latest filing Oct 22, 2019)

What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. Ask the sponsor which of these raises have closed.

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.

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 1

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