The short version

James A. Thomas is listed as an executive officer and director on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Jun 2012: THOMAS PROPERTIES GROUP INC (Los Angeles, CA — commercial — 2012; $50M reported sold to 2 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Jun 2012. 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 Diana M. Laing (1 shared filing), Edward D. Fox (1 shared filing), John L. Goolsby (1 shared filing), John R. Sischo (1 shared filing), Paul S. Rutter (1 shared filing) and 6 others.

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

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 4 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below. Not yet searched: SEC enforcement releases.

What this means 4 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.
