The short version

JAMES BROOKINS is listed as a director on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Apr 2012: NORTHSTAR BANKING Corp (Tampa, FL — commercial banking — 2012; $1.7M reported sold to 12 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Apr 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 CARL SINGLEY (1 shared filing), DAVID STONE (1 shared filing), Devanand Mangar (1 shared filing), ELIZABETH CASTOR (1 shared filing), GENE MARSHALL (1 shared filing) and 14 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), 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) — 28 court cases matching the name, 3 state regulator orders, 17 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 48 records came back, including 8 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 JAMES BROOKINS and found 3 differences: Bankruptcy case: Herbert H. Goetschius and Dolores L. Goetschius; Form D filed 23 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

3 differences found between the filings for JAMES BROOKINS (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Mar 18, 2004 – Oct 29, 2007

Bankruptcy case: Herbert H. Goetschius and Dolores L. Goetschius — filed Mar 18, 2004

United States Bankruptcy Court, M.D. Florida docket "Herbert H. Goetschius and Dolores L. Goetschius" filed Mar 18, 2004, closed Oct 29, 2007. HERBERT GOETSCHIUS (listed on the same filings) is listed as Debtor ("Herbert H. Goetschius and Dolores L. Goetschius"). Our match estimate: 80%.

What this means A bankruptcy filing was found. Many are old or personal and have nothing to do with the deal — but ask what it was and when it closed.

Docket · United States Bankruptcy Court, M.D. Florida ↗HERBERT GOETSCHIUS — PartnerFacts page ↗
Sources
Note · Mar 26, 2012 – Apr 18, 2012

Form D filed 23 days after the first sale — NORTHSTAR BANKING Corp

The filing says the first sale was Mar 26, 2012. The Form D was filed Apr 18, 2012 — 23 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 8 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 · Apr 18, 2012 ↗NORTHSTAR BANKING Corp — PartnerFacts page ↗
Sources
Note · Mar 26, 2012 – Apr 18, 2012

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — NORTHSTAR BANKING Corp (latest filing Apr 18, 2012)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Apr 18, 2012 (first sale Mar 26, 2012). It reports $1,700,000 sold of an indefinite amount 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.

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

None reported on 1 offering — no sales commissions, finder's fees or proceeds to insiders

"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.

The team behind the deals

Same business address

9 other issuers file from the same address

A shared address can mean the same team, a shared office building or a registered agent. It is a lead, not a conclusion.

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 JAMES BROOKINS 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.
