All 2 issuers belong to the sponsor group Emergent (2 issuers, $5.33M reported sold, 2020–2021).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Emergent has 2 companies on file and $5.33M 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, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 5 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 5 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 D. Brinkerhoff and found 3 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: 29% of the money raised went to insiders; Form D filed 468 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 D. Brinkerhoff — 2 worth asking about (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Jul 16, 2021

29% of the money raised went to insiders — Mountain Holdings, LLC.

The Jul 16, 2021 Form D reports $525,000 sold and $150,000 of the proceeds used for payments to officers, directors or promoters. Issuer's note: "150,000.00 will be paid to Manager for the reimbursement of prior loans by Manager.".

What this means The filing reports how much of the money raised was paid to insiders. Over 10% is high for most deals. Ask what it paid for.

Sources
Worth asking · Nov 20, 2018 – Mar 2, 2020

Form D filed 468 days after the first sale — EMERGENT #1 LLC

The filing says the first sale was Nov 20, 2018. The Form D was filed Mar 2, 2020 — 468 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 453 days past that.

What this means The notice went in months after money was taken in. Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves, but it is fair to ask the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Sources
Note · Jun 17, 2021 – Jul 16, 2021

Form D filed 29 days after the first sale — Mountain Holdings, LLC.

The filing says the first sale was Jun 17, 2021. The Form D was filed Jul 16, 2021 — 29 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 14 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.

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

0 of 2 offerings report sales commissions; 0 report finder's fees; 1 reports proceeds to related persons totalling $150,000.

How this is counted

Counts come from Form D Items 12–15 on the filings in our index (latest filing per offering; one offering = one SEC file number; an amendment updates its offering rather than adding one). "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.

Counted across every filing this person is listed on (latest filing per offering, per issuer).
