The short version

Jonathan Everett Kehl is listed as a director on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Sep 2026: Real Music, Inc. (San Francisco, CA — industry reported as "Other" — 2026; $1.38M reported sold to 4 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Sep 2026. 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 Anthony Roger Berman (1 shared filing) and Daniel Ray (1 shared filing).

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Jonathan. Each name links to their own page.

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) — 13 court cases matching the name, 3 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 16 records came back, including 1 court case still open — open cases can take years and cost money. 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 1 public filing for Jonathan Everett Kehl and found 2 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 133 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

2 differences found between the filings for Jonathan Everett Kehl — 1 worth asking about (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Jun 12, 1995 – Dec 13, 1995

Bankruptcy case: Household Finance Corp. v. Kehl — filed Jun 12, 1995

United States Bankruptcy Court, N.D. California docket "Household Finance Corp. v. Kehl" filed Jun 12, 1995, closed Dec 13, 1995. Jonathan Everett Kehl is listed as Defendant ("Kehl"). Our match estimate: 43%.

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.

Sources
Worth asking · May 19, 2026 – Sep 29, 2026

Form D filed 133 days after the first sale — Real Music, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was May 19, 2026. The Form D was filed Sep 29, 2026 — 133 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 118 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.

Sources
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.
