The short version

JOHN CHRISTIAN DOWNING is listed as an executive officer and promoter on 6 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Oct 2015 and Jan 2019: RDC Capital Partners Fund LP (Boston, MA — pooled investment fund — 2015–2019; $120.6M reported sold to 15 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 SOLOMON ROTH (6 shared filings), Scott Carson (5 shared filings), RDC Capital Partners GP LP (3 shared filings, management entity), RDC Capital Partners LP (3 shared filings, management entity) and SHERRI ANN PELSKI (3 shared filings).

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 Rdc (2 issuers, $131.6M reported sold, 2015–2019).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Rdc has 2 companies on file and $131.6M 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) — 8 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 8 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 6 public filings for JOHN CHRISTIAN DOWNING and found 2 differences: No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open; Same name, different state: "John Downing" (VT) is a separate record.

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

2 differences found between the filings for JOHN CHRISTIAN DOWNING (compared 6 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Oct 1, 2015 – Jan 25, 2019

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — RDC Capital Partners Fund LP (latest filing Jan 25, 2019)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jan 25, 2019 (first sale Oct 1, 2015). It reports $120,610,000 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.

Sources
Note · Mar 26, 2020

Same name, different state: "John Downing" (VT) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is MA. A separate record, "John Downing" with address state VT, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by HIGH MOWING SEED CO (Mar 26, 2020). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Oct 1, 2015 to Jan 25, 2019; the other has one filing dated Mar 26, 2020.

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.

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).
