The short version

James C Lee is listed as a director on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Apr 2017: Jackson Paper Manufacturing Co (Sylva, NC — manufacturing — 2017; $1.2M reported sold to 12 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Apr 2017. 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 Emily Campbell (1 shared filing), Nicki Slusser (1 shared filing), Roger Campbell (1 shared filing), Tammy Francis (1 shared filing) and Timothy Campbell (1 shared filing).

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) — 5 SEC releases, 1 bankruptcy case matching the name listed in Key records below. Not yet searched: SEC enforcement releases.

What this means 6 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.
