The short version

James Quella is listed as a director on 3 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Jul 2009 and Aug 2012: Blackstone Energy Partners L.P. (New York, NY — pooled investment fund — 2011–2012; $2.07B reported sold to 73 investors) and MICHAELS STORES INC (Irving, TX — retailing — 2009; $119.7M reported sold to 48 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as director, over about 3 years. Across those companies the filings report $2.19B sold in total.

Listed alongside Michael Chae (3 shared filings), Blackstone Energy Management Associates L.L.C. (2 shared filings, management entity), Christopher J. James (2 shared filings), David I. Foley (2 shared filings), Hamilton E. James (2 shared filings) and 27 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.

1 of the issuers belongs to the sponsor group Blackstone (774 issuers, $1033.12B reported sold, 2009–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Blackstone has 774 companies on file and $1033.12B 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) — 2 court cases matching the name, 5 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 3 public filings for James Quella and found 4 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: 4 bankruptcy cases name the subject or team members; 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

4 differences found between the filings for James Quella — 1 worth asking about (compared 3 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Mar 14, 1997 – Jan 26, 2023

4 bankruptcy cases name the subject or team members

Bankruptcy case: Charles Horton, Jr. and Quella Qunett Horton — filed May 31, 2013 · Bankruptcy case: Jerry T. Smith and Quella M. Smith — filed Mar 14, 1997 · Bankruptcy case: Quella v. One Community Bank — filed Nov 28, 2022 · Bankruptcy case: Newhouse v. Michaels Stores, Inc. — filed Dec 31, 2003

What this means A bankruptcy filing was found. Many are old or personal and have nothing to do with the deal — but ask what it was and when it closed.

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Blackstone Energy Partners L.P. (latest filing Aug 31, 2012)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Aug 31, 2012 (first sale Aug 1, 2011). It reports $2,074,621,000 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.

listed as "James A. Quella" on the Jul 15, 2009 filing, and "James Quella" on 2 filings (from Aug 12, 2011).

What this means Same person, written differently — a middle name or suffix left off, or spelled another way. It is normal, but check that the full legal name matches your subscription documents.

Same name, different state: "James A. Quella" (D0) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is NY. A separate record, "James A. Quella" with address state D0, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by FGL Holdings (Dec 14, 2017). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Aug 12, 2011 to Aug 31, 2012; the other has one filing dated Dec 14, 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 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.

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).

One team, 774 deal companies. James Quella is listed on 1 of them.

Sources

Issuers are grouped when their Form D filings share related persons, a management entity or a business address (automatic match from the filings). "Listed" marks the issuers that name James Quella.

Same business address

51 other issuers file from the same address (first 50 shown)

A shared address can mean the same team, a shared office building or a registered agent. It is a lead, not a conclusion.

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 7 records on 1 issuer

Property records are matched to companies only, never to individuals, so none are matched to James Quella 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 — 1 issuer has property records: MICHAELS STORES INC (7).

Public profiles and social

Websites and social links of the issuers James Quella is listed on, as found in their SEC filings (Form C, Reg A, Form ADV, EDGAR profile) or on the sponsor's own site; none belongs to the person unless the sponsor's site says so. Checked Oct 24, 2026.
