The short version

John McLean is listed as an executive officer and director on 3 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between Feb 2011 and Dec 2011: OUTCAST MEDIA HOLDINGS, INC. (Santa Monica, CA — industry reported as "Other" — 2011; $58.8M reported sold to 5 investors), OUTCAST MEDIA INTERNATIONAL, INC. (Santa Monica, CA — industry reported as "Other" — 2011; $14.1M reported sold to 26 investors) and Ansera Capital II, L.P. (Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada (as filed: A1) — pooled investment fund — 2011; $10M reported sold to 12 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 3 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director. Across those companies the filings report $83M sold in total.

Listed alongside James Fields (2 shared filings), Matthew Stoudt (2 shared filings), Nathan Gill (2 shared filings), Stephen Long (2 shared filings), Doug Woo (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.

2 of the issuers belong to the sponsor group Outcast Media (2 issuers, $73M reported sold, 2011).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Outcast Media has 2 companies on file and $73M 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 (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 3 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 3 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 3 public filings for John McLean and found 8 differences: 4 bankruptcy cases name the subject or team members; Form D filed 23 days after the first sale; 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 McLean (compared 3 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Dec 24, 1997 – Jun 22, 2017

4 bankruptcy cases name the subject or team members

Bankruptcy case: Tatung Company, Ltd. v. Houng — filed Oct 4, 2010 · Bankruptcy case: Houng v. Tatung Co. Ltd — filed Jul 21, 2011 · Bankruptcy case: Houng v. Tatung Company, Ltd. — filed Jul 12, 2010 · Bankruptcy case: AT&T Universal Card Services Corp. v. Gosney — filed Dec 24, 1997

What this means A bankruptcy filing was found. Many are old or personal and have nothing to do with the deal — but ask what it was and when it closed.

Note · Feb 1, 2011 – Feb 24, 2011

Form D filed 23 days after the first sale — OUTCAST MEDIA INTERNATIONAL, INC.

The filing says the first sale was Feb 1, 2011. The Form D was filed Feb 24, 2011 — 23 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 8 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.

John McLean is written 2 different ways on the filings

listed as "John McLean" on 2 filings (from Feb 24, 2011), and "John H McLean" on the Dec 12, 2011 filing.

What this means Same person, written differently — a middle name or suffix left off, or spelled another way. It is normal, but check that the full legal name matches your subscription documents.

Same name, different state: "John Garfield McLean, Jr" (DC) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA or A1. A separate record, "John Garfield McLean, Jr" with address state DC, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by Washington Area Community Investment Fund, Inc. (Aug 12, 2026). The two records do not overlap in time: this page has one filing dated Feb 24, 2011; the other has one filing dated Aug 12, 2026.

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.

John McLean is listed with 2 different address states: CA, A1

CA on 2 filings (Feb 24, 2011 to Feb 24, 2011); British Columbia, Canada (as filed: A1) on 1 filing (Dec 12, 2011).

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.

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.

5. Money to insiders

"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.
