Listed alongside Salim Shariff (13 shared filings), Bill Douglass (3 shared filings), Bill Lewis (3 shared filings), GORDON A. GARDINER (3 shared filings), Peter A. Nitze (3 shared filings) and 6 others.

What this means This person is listed across more than one sponsor team; each group page shows that team's full track record.
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) — 4 court cases matching the name, 1 SEC release, 52 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.
What this means 57 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 29 public filings for Jeffrey Klein and found 10 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Regulator action: Jeffrey G. Klein (Apr 24, 2020); 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.

10 differences found between the filings for Jeffrey Klein — 1 worth asking about (compared 29 filings on Oct 24, 2026)
A ap release dated Apr 24, 2020 names Jeffrey Klein. Our match estimate: 44%. The release is the source; we do not summarize its outcome here.
What this means A regulator filed or announced an action naming this person or company (or someone on the same filings). Read the release; ask the sponsor what it was and how it ended.
United States Bankruptcy Court, W.D. Washington docket "Federal Way Furniture Center Inc" filed Apr 28, 2011, closed Mar 23, 2012. Federal Way Asset Management LP (listed on the same filings) is listed as Party ("Federal Way Furniture Center Inc"). Our match estimate: 60%.
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.
United States Bankruptcy Court, S.D. New York docket "Federal Way Family Golf Centers, Inc." filed May 4, 2000, closed Jan 16, 2009. Federal Way Asset Management LP (listed on the same filings) is listed as Party ("Federal Way Family Golf Centers, Inc."). Our match estimate: 60%.

The filing says the first sale was Aug 29, 2019. The Form D was filed Sep 16, 2019 — 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.

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.

Individuals are not matched to business registrations — registries list companies, and a name alone is not enough to tie a person to one.

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).
None of the 5 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.
