The short version

John C. Doherty is listed as a director on 2 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Nov 2023 and Nov 2025: Aquamarine Credit Fund Ltd. (Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (as filed: E9) — pooled investment fund — 2023–2025; $28.5M reported sold to 3 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 Aquamarine Financial (Cayman) Ltd (2 shared filings, management entity), James Gordon Macfee (2 shared filings), Aquamarine Financial Ltd (1 shared filing, management entity), Bryan Schapira (1 shared filing), David van Duynhoven (1 shared filing) and 5 others.

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.

The issuer belongs to the sponsor group Terra (2 issuers, $58.9M reported sold, 2016–2025).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Terra has 2 companies on file and $58.9M 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) — 2 SEC releases, 3 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 5 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 2 public filings for John C. Doherty and found 5 differences: Same name, different state: "John Doherty" (TX) is a separate record; Same name, different state: "John Doherty" (FL) is a separate record; 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

5 differences found between the filings for John C. Doherty (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Oct 18, 2016 – Jul 19, 2019

Same name, different state: "John Doherty" (TX) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is NJ or E9. A separate record, "John Doherty" with address state TX, is listed on 5 filings — most recently by SigmaSense, LLC (Jul 19, 2019). The two records do not overlap in time: this page has one filing dated Nov 9, 2023; the other runs Oct 18, 2016 to Jul 19, 2019.

What this means Could be the same person who moved, or two people with the same name. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

Note · Mar 13, 2012 – Sep 11, 2012

Same name, different state: "John Doherty" (FL) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is NJ or E9. A separate record, "John Doherty" with address state FL, is listed on 2 filings — most recently by GEOCOMMAND INC (Sep 11, 2012). The two records do not overlap in time: this page has one filing dated Nov 9, 2023; the other runs Mar 13, 2012 to Sep 11, 2012.

What this means Could be the same person who moved, or two people with the same name. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

Note · Nov 9, 2023 – Nov 13, 2025

Address moved from Difc, Dubai, United Arab Emirates (as filed: C0) to Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (as filed: E9) — Aquamarine Credit Fund Ltd.

The people listed on the Nov 9, 2023 filing give Difc, Dubai, United Arab Emirates (as filed: C0); on the Nov 13, 2025 filing they give Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (as filed: E9).

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 · Nov 9, 2023 – Nov 13, 2025

John C. Doherty is listed with 2 different address states: E9, NJ

Cayman Islands (as filed: E9) on 1 filing (Nov 9, 2023); NJ on 1 filing (Nov 13, 2025).

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
Note · Nov 9, 2023 – Nov 13, 2025

Minimum investment changed between filings — Aquamarine Credit Fund Ltd.

The Nov 9, 2023 filing lists a minimum of $5,000,000; the Nov 13, 2025 Form D/A lists $100,000.

What this means A different minimum usually means the offering terms changed. Check which terms apply to you.

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.
