The short version

James Shields is listed as an executive officer and director on 12 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Feb 2010 and Mar 2021: GI ALLIANCE HOLDINGS, LLC (Southlake, TX — industry reported as "Other" — 2019–2021; $490M reported sold to 341 investors) and AVATAR RESOURCES INC (Plano, TX — oil and gas — 2010; $26K reported sold to 5 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 11 years. Across those companies the filings report $490M sold in total.

Listed alongside Bryan Fisher (11 shared filings), DAVID O. NEIGHBOURS (11 shared filings), David Lowenberg (11 shared filings), Dominic Bagnoli (11 shared filings), Edward Sohn (11 shared filings) and 7 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 (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) — 1 bankruptcy case matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 1 record 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 12 public filings for James Shields and found 9 differences: Bankruptcy case: Millsap & Son Trucking Company LLC v. Bernsen; James Shields appears on 1 deal that stopped filing before reaching its target; 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.

9 differences found between the filings for James Shields (compared 12 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Aug 15, 2000 – Feb 8, 2001

Bankruptcy case: Millsap & Son Trucking Company LLC v. Bernsen — filed Aug 15, 2000

United States Bankruptcy Court, S.D. Texas docket "Millsap & Son Trucking Company LLC v. Bernsen" filed Aug 15, 2000, closed Feb 8, 2001. Mitchell Bernsen (listed on the same filings) is listed as Defendant ("Bernsen"). Our match estimate: 70%.

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.

James Shields appears on 1 deal that stopped filing before reaching its target

AVATAR RESOURCES INC (last filing Feb 8, 2010; $26,000 sold of $250,000). Each has no filing in more than two years and reported under half its target sold.

What this means An issuer whose last filing is more than two years old and reported under half its target sold. The raise may have closed early or quietly stopped. Ask what happened to each.

Note · Jan 22, 2010 – Feb 8, 2010

Form D filed 17 days after the first sale — AVATAR RESOURCES INC

The filing says the first sale was Jan 22, 2010. The Form D was filed Feb 8, 2010 — 17 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 2 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.

4 offerings have no amendment in the last 12 months and may still be open

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — GI ALLIANCE HOLDINGS, LLC (latest filing Mar 18, 2021) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — GI ALLIANCE HOLDINGS, LLC (latest filing Nov 12, 2020) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — GI ALLIANCE HOLDINGS, LLC (latest filing Jan 10, 2020) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — AVATAR RESOURCES INC (latest filing Feb 8, 2010)

What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. Ask the sponsor which of these raises have closed.

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.

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 none — individuals are not matched

Property records are matched to companies only, never to individuals, so none are matched to James Shields 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 — nothing matched.
