The short version

James E. Hillman is listed as a director on 2 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Feb 2010 and Apr 2010: IQ ABSOLUTE RETURN DIVERSIFIED (OFFSHORE) FUND LTD (New York, NY — pooled investment fund — 2010; $19.2M reported sold to 7 investors) and IQ Global Long/Short Equity Select (Offshore) Fund, Ltd. (New York, NY — pooled investment fund — 2010; $14.7M reported sold to 5 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as director. Across those companies the filings report $33.9M sold in total.

Listed alongside Colleen R. Rusch (2 shared filings) and Justin C Ferri (2 shared filings).

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.

1 of the issuers belongs to the sponsor group Iq Absolute Return (6 issuers, $394.1M reported sold, 2009–2014).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Iq Absolute Return has 6 companies on file and $394.1M 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) — 10 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 10 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 E. Hillman and found 6 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: James E. Hillman is no longer listed on the Oct 12, 2011 amendment; James E. Hillman is no longer listed on the Oct 11, 2011 amendment; 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

6 differences found between the filings for James E. Hillman — 2 worth asking about (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Mar 1, 2010 – Apr 28, 2010

Form D filed 58 days after the first sale — IQ Global Long/Short Equity Select (Offshore) Fund, Ltd.

The filing says the first sale was Mar 1, 2010. The Form D was filed Apr 28, 2010 — 58 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 43 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.

Sources
Worth asking · Apr 28, 2010 – Oct 12, 2011

James E. Hillman is no longer listed on the Oct 12, 2011 amendment — IQ Global Long/Short Equity Select (Offshore) Fund, Ltd.

James E. Hillman appears on the Apr 28, 2010 Form D (director) but not on the Oct 12, 2011 Form D/A for the same offering.

What this means People leave, and the issuer must list only current officers, directors and promoters. It is still worth asking why this person left and who replaced them.

Note · Jul 28, 2017

Same name, different state: "James Hillman" (OR) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is E9. A separate record, "James Hillman" with address state OR, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by ANM, Inc. (Jul 28, 2017). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Feb 25, 2010 to Apr 28, 2010; the other has one filing dated Jul 28, 2017.

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 this means Businesses move; this just shows the two places and dates. If you were told one city and the forms say another, ask which is current.

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.
