The short version

John Mathes is listed as an executive officer on 2 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Oct 2013 and Feb 2015: Fountain Mathes I, LP (Dallas, TX — industry reported as "Other" — 2013; $14M reported sold to 34 investors) and WM Capital Partners XLVI, LLC (New York, NY — pooled investment fund — 2015; $5.9M reported sold to 56 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, over about 2 years. Across those companies the filings report $19.9M sold in total.

Listed alongside George Mathes (2 shared filings), Fountain Capital, LLC (1 shared filing, management entity), Scott Whitworth (1 shared filing), Stephen Swann (1 shared filing), WM Capital GP, LLC (1 shared filing, management entity) and 1 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 Lqc (106 issuers, $600.5M reported sold, 2010–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Lqc has 106 companies on file and $600.5M 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) — 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 Mathes and found 1 difference: Form D filed 38 days after the first sale.

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

1 difference found between the filings for John Mathes (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Sep 20, 2013 – Oct 28, 2013

Form D filed 38 days after the first sale — Fountain Mathes I, LP

The filing says the first sale was Sep 20, 2013. The Form D was filed Oct 28, 2013 — 38 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 23 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.

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.

How this is counted

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.

Counted across every filing this person is listed on (latest filing per offering, per issuer).
