The short version

James Cope is listed as an executive officer on 2 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Aug 2022 and Apr 2024: MES INVESTORS, LLC (Hartland, WI — other energy — 2022; $3.5M reported sold to 3 investors) and MES INVESTORS II, LLC (Hartland, WI — other energy — 2024; $1.1M reported sold to 9 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, over about 2 years. Across those companies the filings report $4.6M sold in total.

Listed alongside Mikko Erkamaa (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.

All 2 issuers belong to the sponsor group Mes (2 issuers, $4.6M reported sold, 2022–2024).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Mes has 2 companies on file and $4.6M 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 (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) — 1 court case matching the name, 1 SEC release, 25 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 27 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 2 public filings for James Cope and found 3 differences: Form D filed 50 days after the first sale; No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open; 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 Cope (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Jun 30, 2022 – Aug 19, 2022

Form D filed 50 days after the first sale — MES INVESTORS, LLC

The filing says the first sale was Jun 30, 2022. The Form D was filed Aug 19, 2022 — 50 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 35 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 · Aug 19, 2022 ↗MES INVESTORS, LLC — PartnerFacts page ↗
Sources
Note · Jun 30, 2022 – Aug 19, 2022

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — MES INVESTORS, LLC (latest filing Aug 19, 2022)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Aug 19, 2022 (first sale Jun 30, 2022). It reports $3,500,000 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.

Form D · Aug 19, 2022 ↗MES INVESTORS, LLC — PartnerFacts page ↗
Sources
Note · Mar 15, 2016

Same name, different state: "James C. Cope" (TN) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is WI. A separate record, "James C. Cope" with address state TN, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by PINNACLE FINANCIAL PARTNERS INC (Mar 15, 2016). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Aug 19, 2022 to Apr 22, 2024; the other has one filing dated Mar 15, 2016.

What this means Could be the same person who moved, or two people with the same name. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

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

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 2 issuers 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 Cope 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 2 issuers this person is listed on — nothing matched.
