The short version

James Ernest Johnson is listed as an executive officer and director on 16 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between Jan 2018 and May 2024: ApexOne Multifamily Special Situation Fund IV, LP (Houston, TX — pooled investment fund — 2021–2024; $355M reported sold to 1,148 investors), ApexOne Multifamily Fund III, L.P.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 7 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below. Not yet searched: SEC enforcement releases (search queued; results are added automatically).

What this means 7 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.

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).
