The short version

Keith D. Stephens is listed as an executive officer and promoter on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Aug 2014: Gateway Hospitality Fund II, LLC (Strasburg, VA — commercial — 2014; $2.5M reported sold to 21 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Aug 2014. 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 W. Bruce Jennings (1 shared filing).

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

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 23 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below. Not yet searched: SEC enforcement releases.

What this means 23 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.

What the community is saying

Nothing found on Reddit, BiggerPockets or community forums for high-net-worth investors (searched Oct 24, 2026) — search queued; this line updates when it has run.

Key records

Five things investors ask first. Items still in human review are counted, not shown.
