The short version

Kevin Lear is listed as an executive officer and director on 3 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between May 2010 and Jul 2012: TriLumina Corp. (Albuquerque, NM — other technology — 2010–2012; $9.16M reported sold to 29 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 John R Joseph (3 shared filings), Richard Neumann (2 shared filings), Rudolf A Wiedemann (2 shared filings), David J Abell (1 shared filing) and Gary L Oppedahl (1 shared filing).

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.

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) — 2 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 2 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 3 public filings for Kevin Lear and found 11 differences, 4 worth asking the sponsor about: Bankruptcy case: Kevin J Lear; Bankruptcy case: Kevin A. Lear and Pamela S. Lear; 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.

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — TriLumina Corp. (latest filing Jul 23, 2012)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jul 23, 2012 (first sale May 10, 2010). It reports $1,105,564 sold of $1,400,000 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 this means Roles on Form D are self-reported by the issuer. A change can mean a real change in who runs the company, or just a different box ticked. Ask who makes decisions today.

Address moved from Reno, NV to Albuquerque, NM — TriLumina Corp.

The people listed on the Jul 12, 2011 filing give Reno, NV; on the Jul 23, 2012 filing they give Albuquerque, NM.

NV on 2 filings (May 21, 2010 to Jul 12, 2011); NM on 1 filing (Jul 23, 2012).

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.

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.

5. Money to insiders

0 of 1 offering report sales commissions; 0 report finder's fees; 1 reports proceeds to related persons totalling $200,000. (includes amounts the issuer reported as estimates)

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).
