The short version

John Cochran is listed as an executive officer on 2 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Mar 2009 and May 2026: HBSB Master Ltd. (George Town, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (as filed: E9) — pooled investment fund — 2009; $55M reported sold to 5 investors) and Crestline Lending Solutions, LLC (Fort Worth, TX — pooled investment fund — 2026; $18.1M reported sold to 45 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, over about 17 years. Across those companies the filings report $73.1M sold in total.

Listed alongside Camille Sassman (2 shared filings), Bowen Diehl (1 shared filing), Caroline Cooley (1 shared filing), Cheri Crum (1 shared filing), Chris Semple (1 shared filing) and 6 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.

All 2 issuers belong to the sponsor group Crestline (108 issuers, $17.69B reported sold, 2009–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Crestline has 108 companies on file and $17.69B 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 (AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, LA, ME, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, NH, NM, OR, RI, TX, WA) — 1 court case matching the name, 4 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 Cochran and found 8 differences: Form D filed 60 days after the first sale; No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open; 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

8 differences found between the filings for John Cochran (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Jan 16, 2009 – Mar 17, 2009

Form D filed 60 days after the first sale — HBSB Master Ltd.

The filing says the first sale was Jan 16, 2009. The Form D was filed Mar 17, 2009 — 60 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 45 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.

Form D · Mar 17, 2009 ↗HBSB Master Ltd. — PartnerFacts page ↗
Sources
Note · Jan 16, 2009 – Mar 17, 2009

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — HBSB Master Ltd. (latest filing Mar 17, 2009)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Mar 17, 2009 (first sale Jan 16, 2009). It reports $54,958,000 sold of an indefinite amount 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 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.
