The short version

James Nelson is listed as a director on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Sep 2013: SITO MOBILE, LTD. (Jersey City, NJ — other technology — 2013; $6.17M reported sold to 64 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Sep 2013. 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 Anthony Macaluso (1 shared filing), James Orsini (1 shared filing), John Quinn (1 shared filing), Jonathan E Sandelman (1 shared filing), Peter Holden (1 shared filing) and 2 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.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 7 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 7 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 1 public filing for James Nelson and found 5 differences: Same name, different state: "James G. Nelson" (NC) is a separate record; Same name, different state: "James Nelson" (CT or NY) is a separate record; 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.

5 differences found between the filings for James Nelson (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · May 13, 2016 – May 5, 2020

Same name, different state: "James G. Nelson" (NC) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is NJ. A separate record, "James G. Nelson" with address state NC, is listed on 3 filings — most recently by Kerdea Technologies, Inc. (May 5, 2020). The two records do not overlap in time: this page has one filing dated Sep 24, 2013; the other runs May 13, 2016 to May 5, 2020.

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.
