The short version

Joseph Dutton is listed as a director on 10 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Oct 2015 and Feb 2025: Wasserstein Debt Opportunities Offshore Fund, Ltd. (New York, NY — pooled investment fund — 2015–2025; $53.8M reported sold to 13 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 Rajay Bagaria (10 shared filings).

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

The issuer belongs to the sponsor group Wasserstein (6 issuers, $248M reported sold, 2013–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Wasserstein has 6 companies on file and $248M 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) — 18 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 18 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 10 public filings for Joseph Dutton and found 5 differences, 3 worth asking the sponsor about: Paid seller listed without a CRD number: GVP WLL; Paid seller listed without a CRD number: Jeremy Leyland; 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

5 differences found between the filings for Joseph Dutton — 3 worth asking about (compared 10 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Mar 3, 2023

Paid seller listed without a CRD number: GVP WLL — Wasserstein Debt Opportunities Offshore Fund, Ltd.

GVP WLL is listed as receiving sales compensation on 1 filing (Mar 3, 2023) with no FINRA CRD number given.

What this means People paid to sell securities normally hold a FINRA registration with a CRD number. Without one we cannot look them up on BrokerCheck. Ask who they are and whether they are registered.

Sources
Worth asking · Oct 18, 2017 – Mar 3, 2022

Paid seller listed without a CRD number: Jeremy Leyland — Wasserstein Debt Opportunities Offshore Fund, Ltd.

Jeremy Leyland is listed as receiving sales compensation on 5 filings (Oct 18, 2017 to Mar 3, 2022) with no FINRA CRD number given.

What this means People paid to sell securities normally hold a FINRA registration with a CRD number. Without one we cannot look them up on BrokerCheck. Ask who they are and whether they are registered.

Sources
Worth asking · Feb 1, 2014 – Mar 1, 2024

Form D filed 3,681 days after the first sale — Wasserstein Debt Opportunities Offshore Fund, Ltd.

The filing says the first sale was Feb 1, 2014. The Form D was filed Mar 1, 2024 — 3,681 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 3,666 days past that.

What this means The notice went in months after money was taken in. Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves, but it is fair to ask the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Sources
Note · Feb 1, 2014 – Feb 28, 2025

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Wasserstein Debt Opportunities Offshore Fund, Ltd. (latest filing Feb 28, 2025)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Feb 28, 2025 (first sale Feb 1, 2014). It reports $53,759,000 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.

Note · Feb 1, 2014 – Mar 3, 2023

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Wasserstein Debt Opportunities Offshore Fund, Ltd. (latest filing Mar 3, 2023)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Mar 3, 2023 (first sale Feb 1, 2014). It reports $30,609,000 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. As of Oct 24, 2026.

"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).
