The short version

Frederick C Setzer, III is listed as an executive officer on 2 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Sep 2009 and Jun 2010: Esco Technologies LLC (Liberty Township, OH — other technology — 2009–2010; $11.8M reported sold to 21 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 Bonnie Klein (2 shared filings), Brendan Murphy (2 shared filings), Jerry Grove (2 shared filings) and Ronald D Wagner (2 shared filings).

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Frederick. 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, 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) — 15 court cases matching the name, 1 state regulator order, 10 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 26 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 2 public filings for Frederick C Setzer, III and found 5 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 69 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 Frederick C Setzer, III — 1 worth asking about (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Sep 1, 2009

25% of the money raised went to insiders — Esco Technologies LLC

The Sep 1, 2009 Form D reports $4,000,000 sold and $1,000,000 of the proceeds used for payments to officers, directors or promoters. Issuer's note: "Partial repayment of loan from Beacon Electric Company, an Ohio corporation controlled by Frederick C. Setzer, Jr.".

What this means The filing reports how much of the money raised was paid to insiders. Over 10% is high for most deals. Ask what it paid for.

Form D · Sep 1, 2009 ↗Esco Technologies LLC — PartnerFacts page ↗
Sources
Worth asking · Jun 24, 2009 – Sep 1, 2009

Form D filed 69 days after the first sale — Esco Technologies LLC

The filing says the first sale was Jun 24, 2009. The Form D was filed Sep 1, 2009 — 69 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 54 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.

Form D · Sep 1, 2009 ↗Esco Technologies LLC — PartnerFacts page ↗
Sources
Note · Jun 24, 2009 – Jun 22, 2010

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Esco Technologies LLC (latest filing Jun 22, 2010)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jun 22, 2010 (first sale Jun 24, 2009). It reports $11,750,000 sold of $14,000,000 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.

Form D/A · Jun 22, 2010 ↗Esco Technologies LLC — PartnerFacts page ↗
Sources
Note · Sep 1, 2009 – Jun 22, 2010

Offering amount changed between filings — Esco Technologies LLC

The Sep 1, 2009 filing says an indefinite amount offered; the Jun 22, 2010 Form D/A says $14,000,000.

What this means The target raise changed. Raising the cap is common when a deal grows; ask whether the extra money has the same terms and use.

Note · Sep 1, 2009 – Jun 22, 2010

Frederick C Setzer, III is written 2 different ways on the filings

listed as "Frederick C Setzer, III" on the Sep 1, 2009 filing, and "Frederick Setzer, III" on the Jun 22, 2010 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.

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).

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); 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 1 issuer 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 Frederick C Setzer, III 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 1 issuer this person is listed on — nothing matched.
