The short version

Joel Perry is listed as an executive officer on 3 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Apr 2019 and Jan 2020: OceanGate Inc (Everett, WA — industry reported as "Other" — 2019–2020; $19.3M reported sold to 22 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 Bob Shuman (3 shared filings), Dianna Raedle (3 shared filings), Doug Gorder (3 shared filings), Geoffrey Barker (3 shared filings), Jim Snyder (3 shared filings) and 4 others.

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

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 16 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below. Not yet searched: SEC enforcement releases (search queued; results are added automatically).

What this means 16 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.

Key records

Five things investors ask first. Items still in human review are counted, not shown.

1. Lawsuits

None found in sources searched

Washington (dw.courts.wa.gov; bulk index reports under a JISC data-dissemination agreement), Delaware (CourtConnect; Court of Chancery not included) and Arizona (apps.azcourts.gov/publicaccess, which has an official channel to request high-volume access) are the candidates; PartnerFacts will request written permission before any automated search.
