The short version

Kevin Lu is listed as an executive officer on 10 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Nov 2018 and Nov 2023: BKCM Digital Asset Fund LLC (Cheyenne, WY — pooled investment fund — 2018–2023; $50.8M reported sold to 88 investors) and BKCM DeFi Fund, LLC (Cheyenne, WY — pooled investment fund — 2021–2023; $21.5M reported sold to 54 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, over about 5 years. Across those companies the filings report $72.3M sold in total.

Listed alongside Brian W. Kelly (10 shared filings), Derek Kim (10 shared filings), BKCM LLC (6 shared filings, management entity), BKCM LLC (4 shared filings, management entity), Frank Hourigan (4 shared filings) and 2 others.

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

All 2 issuers belong to the sponsor group Bkcm (2 issuers, $72.3M reported sold, 2018–2024).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Bkcm has 2 companies on file and $72.3M 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) — 5 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 5 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 Kevin Lu and found 10 differences, 3 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 502 days after the first sale; Kevin Lu is no longer listed on the Nov 19, 2024 amendment; 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

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

Worth asking · Jun 30, 2017 – Nov 14, 2018

Form D filed 502 days after the first sale — BKCM Digital Asset Fund LLC

The filing says the first sale was Jun 30, 2017. The Form D was filed Nov 14, 2018 — 502 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 487 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
Worth asking · Nov 22, 2023 – Nov 19, 2024

Kevin Lu is no longer listed on the Nov 19, 2024 amendment — BKCM Digital Asset Fund LLC

Kevin Lu appears on the Nov 22, 2023 Form D/A (executive officer) but not on the Nov 19, 2024 Form D/A for the same offering.

What this means People leave, and the issuer must list only current officers, directors and promoters. It is still worth asking why this person left and who replaced them.

Sources
Worth asking · Nov 22, 2023 – Nov 19, 2024

Kevin Lu is no longer listed on the Nov 19, 2024 amendment — BKCM DeFi Fund, LLC

Kevin Lu appears on the Nov 22, 2023 Form D/A (executive officer) but not on the Nov 19, 2024 Form D/A for the same offering.

What this means People leave, and the issuer must list only current officers, directors and promoters. It is still worth asking why this person left and who replaced them.

Sources
Note · Mar 17, 2021 – Feb 18, 2022

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — BKCM DeFi Fund, LLC (latest filing Feb 18, 2022)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Feb 18, 2022 (first sale Mar 17, 2021). It reports $21,459,067 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 · Nov 23, 2020 – Mar 18, 2022

Address moved from Mount Kisco, NY to Cheyenne, WY — BKCM Digital Asset Fund LLC

The people listed on the Nov 23, 2020 filing give Mount Kisco, NY; on the Mar 18, 2022 filing they give Cheyenne, WY. The address now on file (1603 Capitol Avenue, Suite 319, Cheyenne, WY) is a registered-agent or shared-office address used by 7 issuers.

What this means A registered agent's address is a mailbox, not where the team works. Ask where the business actually operates.

Sources
Note · Feb 25, 2021 – Feb 18, 2022

Address moved from Mount Kisco, NY to Cheyenne, WY — BKCM DeFi Fund, LLC

What this means A registered agent's address is a mailbox, not where the team works. Ask where the business actually operates.

Sources
Note · Nov 4, 2019 – Nov 23, 2020

Address moved from New York, NY to Mount Kisco, NY — BKCM Digital Asset Fund LLC

The people listed on the Nov 4, 2019 filing give New York, NY; on the Nov 23, 2020 filing they give Mount Kisco, NY. The address now on file (1603 Capitol Avenue, Suite 319, Cheyenne, WY) is a registered-agent or shared-office address used by 7 issuers.

What this means A registered agent's address is a mailbox, not where the team works. Ask where the business actually operates.

Sources
Note · Nov 14, 2018 – Nov 22, 2023

Kevin Lu is listed with 2 different address states: NY, WY

NY on 4 filings (Nov 14, 2018 to Feb 25, 2021); WY on 6 filings (Feb 18, 2022 to Nov 22, 2023).

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.

Sources
Note · Nov 23, 2020 – Mar 18, 2022

Minimum investment changed between filings — BKCM Digital Asset Fund LLC

The Nov 23, 2020 filing lists a minimum of $10,000; the Mar 18, 2022 Form D/A lists $250,000.

What this means A different minimum usually means the offering terms changed. Check which terms apply to you.

Sources
Note · Nov 14, 2018 – Nov 4, 2019

Minimum investment changed between filings — BKCM Digital Asset Fund LLC

The Nov 14, 2018 filing lists a minimum of $100,000; the Nov 4, 2019 Form D/A lists $10,000.

What this means A different minimum usually means the offering terms changed. Check which terms apply to you.

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.
