The short version

Grace McPhillips is listed as an executive officer and director on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in May 2012: Sterling Rock Productions, LLC (Chicago, IL — industry reported as "Other" — 2012; $105K reported sold to 2 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed May 2012. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment — it is a notice, not an approval.

No other person or management entity is listed on the same filings.

What this means The filings name this person alone — no co-officers, directors or promoters were listed.

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) — 9 court cases matching the name, 7 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 16 records came back, including 4 court cases 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 1 public filing for Grace McPhillips and found 3 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: 71% of the money raised went to insiders; 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

3 differences found between the filings for Grace McPhillips — 1 worth asking about (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · May 25, 2012

71% of the money raised went to insiders — Sterling Rock Productions, LLC

The May 25, 2012 Form D reports $105,000 sold and $75,000 of the proceeds used for payments to officers, directors or promoters (marked as an estimate).

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.

Sources
Note · May 25, 2012

Grace McPhillips appears on 1 deal that stopped filing before reaching its target

Sterling Rock Productions, LLC (last filing May 25, 2012; $105,000 sold of $1,500,000). Each has no filing in more than two years and reported under half its target sold.

What this means An issuer whose last filing is more than two years old and reported under half its target sold. The raise may have closed early or quietly stopped. Ask what happened to each.

Sources
Note · May 25, 2012

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Sterling Rock Productions, LLC (latest filing May 25, 2012)

The latest filing for this offering is dated May 25, 2012 (first sale May 25, 2012). It reports $105,000 sold of $1,500,000 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

0 of 1 offering report sales commissions; 0 report finder's fees; 1 reports proceeds to related persons totalling $75,000. (includes amounts the issuer reported as estimates)

"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.
