The short version

James Jay is listed as an executive officer, director, and promoter on 4 SEC Form D filings by 4 issuers between Oct 2012 and Apr 2015: GoPath Global LLC (Indianapolis, IN — biotechnology — 2013; $1.57M reported sold to 20 investors), HALO RICS Investors, LLC (Indianapolis, IN — other technology — 2012; $1.2M reported sold to 16 investors), Chatham - AIT NPE, LLC (Indianapolis, IN — investing — 2015; $850K reported sold to 6 investors) and Chatham Venture Partners, LLC (Indianapolis, IN — pooled investment fund — 2014).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 4 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, director, and promoter, over about 3 years. Across those companies the filings report $3.62M sold in total.

Listed alongside Doug Kahlenbeck (1 shared filing), Greg Hahn (1 shared filing), Gregory Hahn (1 shared filing), Jim Z. Lu (1 shared filing), Michael J. Irons (1 shared filing) and 1 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.

2 of the issuers belong to the sponsor group Chatham (4 issuers, $6.35M reported sold, 2012–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Chatham has 4 companies on file and $6.35M 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 (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 4 public filings for James Jay and found 5 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 202 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

5 differences found between the filings for James Jay — 1 worth asking about (compared 4 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Oct 10, 2012 – Apr 30, 2013

Form D filed 202 days after the first sale — GoPath Global LLC

The filing says the first sale was Oct 10, 2012. The Form D was filed Apr 30, 2013 — 202 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 187 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 · Sep 14, 2012 – Oct 2, 2012

Form D filed 18 days after the first sale — HALO RICS Investors, LLC

The filing says the first sale was Sep 14, 2012. The Form D was filed Oct 2, 2012 — 18 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 3 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
Note · Apr 6, 2015 – Apr 9, 2015

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Chatham - AIT NPE, LLC (latest filing Apr 9, 2015)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Apr 9, 2015 (first sale Apr 6, 2015). It reports $850,000 sold of $2,000,000 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.

Sources
Note · Oct 10, 2012 – Apr 30, 2013

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — GoPath Global LLC (latest filing Apr 30, 2013)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Apr 30, 2013 (first sale Oct 10, 2012). It reports $1,571,940 sold of $3,100,000 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.

Note · Feb 1, 2016

Same name, different state: "James Jay" (FL) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is IN. A separate record, "James Jay" with address state FL, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by My Personal Health Record Express, Inc. (Feb 1, 2016). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Oct 2, 2012 to Apr 9, 2015; the other has one filing dated Feb 1, 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.

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.

5. Money to insiders

0 of 4 offerings report sales commissions; 0 report finder's fees; 1 reports proceeds to related persons totalling $1,100,000. (includes amounts the issuer reported as estimates)

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).
