The short version

Jay Whitacre is listed as an executive officer and director on 6 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Jul 2011 and Apr 2016: Aquion Energy, Inc. (Pittsburgh, PA — other energy — 2011–2016; $56.6M reported sold to 18 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 Jan van Dokkum (6 shared filings), John Connolly (6 shared filings), Ray Lane (6 shared filings), Scott Pearson (6 shared filings), Steve Vassallo (6 shared filings) and 3 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.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 24 court cases matching the name, 19 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 43 records came back, including 6 court cases still open — open cases can take years and cost money. 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 6 public filings for Jay Whitacre and found 7 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 90 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.

Worth asking · Jan 27, 2016 – Apr 26, 2016

Form D filed 90 days after the first sale — Aquion Energy, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Jan 27, 2016. The Form D was filed Apr 26, 2016 — 90 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 75 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.

Jay Whitacre's role changed at Aquion Energy, Inc.: director → executive officer, director

The Jul 21, 2011 filing lists Jay Whitacre as director; the Apr 5, 2013 Form D lists executive officer, director.

What this means Roles on Form D are self-reported by the issuer. A change can mean a real change in who runs the company, or just a different box ticked. Ask who makes decisions today.

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Aquion Energy, Inc. (latest filing Apr 26, 2016)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Apr 26, 2016 (first sale Jan 27, 2016). It reports $33,200,956 sold of $60,000,000 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.

What this means This is the size band the issuer picks for itself on the form. A change can mean the business grew or shrank — or that it chose not to say. Ask for current numbers.

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.

"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.
