The short version

James R. Chambers is listed as a director on 11 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Jan 2016 and Jan 2026: TEACHERS INSURANCE & ANNUITY ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA (New York, NY — insurance — 2016–2026; $55.2M reported sold to 327 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC. 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 Edward M. Hundert (11 shared filings), Jeffrey R. Brown (11 shared filings), Kimberly M. Sharan (11 shared filings), Lisa Hess (11 shared filings), Maureen O'Hara (10 shared filings) and 56 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.

The issuer belongs to the sponsor group Teachers (2 issuers, $45.8M reported sold, 2010–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Teachers has 2 companies on file and $45.8M reported sold in total — the group page shows the whole track record in one place.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, LA, ME, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, NH, NM, OR, RI, TX, WA) — 6 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

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.

We compared 11 public filings for James R. Chambers and found 6 differences, 4 worth asking the sponsor about: 5 offerings reported less sold on a later filing than an earlier one; Investor count went down between filings; 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.

Note · Jul 18, 2016 – Oct 4, 2018

Same name, different state: "James Richard Chambers" (GA) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is NY. A separate record, "James Richard Chambers" with address state GA, is listed on 2 filings — most recently by Miami Dade, LLC (Oct 4, 2018). Both records have filings in the same period (Jul 18, 2016 to Oct 4, 2018).

What this means Two records with one name were active at the same time. That can be one person listing different company addresses, or two different people. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

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.
