The short version

Jay Kaduson is listed as a director on 4 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between May 2011 and Jan 2014: METLIFE INVESTORS USA INSURANCE CO (Charlotte, NC — insurance — 2011–2014; $331.6M reported sold to 4 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC. 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 Elizabeth M. Forget (4 shared filings), Susan A. Buffum (4 shared filings), Bennett D. Kleinberg (2 shared filings), George J. Foulke (2 shared filings), Jeffrey Tupper (2 shared filings) and 13 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Jay. Each name links to their own page.

The issuer belongs to the sponsor group Brighthouse (4 issuers, $476.3M reported sold, 2010–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Brighthouse has 4 companies on file and $476.3M 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) — none found.

What this means Nothing turned up where we looked (3 sources). That does not prove there is nothing — it means none was found in those sources on that date.

We compared 4 public filings for Jay Kaduson and found 11 differences, 5 worth asking the sponsor about: Investor count went down between filings; Form D filed 1,135 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

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

Worth asking · May 23, 2011 – Jan 26, 2012

Investor count went down between filings — METLIFE INVESTORS USA INSURANCE CO

The May 23, 2011 filing reports 4 investors; the Jan 26, 2012 Form D/A reports 1 investor.

What this means Investor counts normally only grow. A smaller number can mean investors left or were refunded, or a count was corrected. Ask the sponsor what happened.

Sources
Worth asking · Dec 20, 2010 – Jan 28, 2014

Form D filed 1,135 days after the first sale — METLIFE INVESTORS USA INSURANCE CO

The filing says the first sale was Dec 20, 2010. The Form D was filed Jan 28, 2014 — 1,135 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 1,120 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
Worth asking · Dec 20, 2010 – Jan 28, 2013

Form D filed 770 days after the first sale — METLIFE INVESTORS USA INSURANCE CO

The filing says the first sale was Dec 20, 2010. The Form D was filed Jan 28, 2013 — 770 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 755 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
Worth asking · Dec 20, 2010 – May 23, 2011

Form D filed 154 days after the first sale — METLIFE INVESTORS USA INSURANCE CO

The filing says the first sale was Dec 20, 2010. The Form D was filed May 23, 2011 — 154 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 139 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 · Jan 28, 2014 – Oct 28, 2014

Jay Kaduson is no longer listed on the Oct 28, 2014 amendment — METLIFE INVESTORS USA INSURANCE CO

Jay Kaduson appears on the Jan 28, 2014 Form D (director) but not on the Oct 28, 2014 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.

Sources
Note · Dec 20, 2010 – Jan 28, 2013

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — METLIFE INVESTORS USA INSURANCE CO (latest filing Jan 28, 2013)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jan 28, 2013 (first sale Dec 20, 2010). It reports $181,563,368 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.

Sources
Note · Dec 20, 2010 – Jan 26, 2012

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — METLIFE INVESTORS USA INSURANCE CO (latest filing Jan 26, 2012)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jan 26, 2012 (first sale Dec 20, 2010). It reports $331,611,961 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.

Sources
Note · May 23, 2011 – Jan 26, 2012

Jay Kaduson is written 2 different ways on the filings

listed as "Jay S. Kaduson" on the May 23, 2011 filing, and "Jay Kaduson" on 3 filings (from Jan 26, 2012).

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.

Sources
Note · Jan 26, 2012 – Jan 28, 2013

Address moved from Morristown, NJ to New York, NY — METLIFE INVESTORS USA INSURANCE CO

The people listed on the Jan 26, 2012 filing give Morristown, NJ; on the Jan 28, 2013 filing they give New York, NY.

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.

Sources
Note · May 23, 2011 – Jan 26, 2012

Address moved from Irvine, CA to Morristown, NJ — METLIFE INVESTORS USA INSURANCE CO

The people listed on the May 23, 2011 filing give Irvine, CA; on the Jan 26, 2012 filing they give Morristown, NJ.

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.

Sources
Note · May 23, 2011 – Jan 28, 2014

Jay Kaduson is listed with 3 different address states: CA, NJ, NC

CA on 1 filing (May 23, 2011); NJ on 2 filings (Jan 26, 2012 to Jan 28, 2013); NC on 1 filing (Jan 28, 2014).

What this means The address on a Form D is usually the company's, not the person's home, so this often just reflects different companies. It can also mean a move. Nothing wrong by itself.

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.

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).
