The short version

John A. Powell is listed as an executive officer on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Mar 2010: Proteus Capital, L.P. (Redwood City, CA — pooled investment fund — 2010; $53M reported sold to 52 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Mar 2010. 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 Brian D. Stansky (1 shared filing), Charles A. Morris (1 shared filing), Christopher M. Nawn (1 shared filing), Glen T. Kacher (1 shared filing) and Pamela K. Hagenah (1 shared filing).

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around John. 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) — 3 SEC releases, 10 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 13 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 1 public filing for John A. Powell and found 7 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: John A. Powell is no longer listed on the Mar 18, 2011 amendment; 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

7 differences found between the filings for John A. Powell — 1 worth asking about (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Mar 18, 2010 – Mar 18, 2011

John A. Powell is no longer listed on the Mar 18, 2011 amendment — Proteus Capital, L.P.

John A. Powell appears on the Mar 18, 2010 Form D/A (executive officer) but not on the Mar 18, 2011 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.

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.
