The short version

Leon Kassel is listed as a director on 5 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Sep 2010 and Jul 2019: Private Bancorp of America, Inc. (La Jolla, CA — commercial banking — 2017–2019; $18M reported sold to 14 investors) and Southwest Trade Services, LLC (Irvine, CA — other real estate — 2010; $500K reported sold to 1 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as director, over about 9 years. Across those companies the filings report $18.5M sold in total.

Listed alongside Selwyn Isakow (5 shared filings), David Ellman (4 shared filings), David S. Engelman (4 shared filings), Ernest Rady (4 shared filings), THOMAS WORNHAM (4 shared filings) and 9 others.

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

1 of the issuers belongs to the sponsor group Silver Palms (7 issuers, $31.7M reported sold, 2009–2022).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Silver Palms has 7 companies on file and $31.7M 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) — 15 court cases matching the name, 9 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 24 records came back, including 3 court cases 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 5 public filings for Leon Kassel and found 2 differences: Form D filed 56 days after the first sale; No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open.

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 Leon Kassel (compared 5 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Jul 26, 2010 – Sep 20, 2010

Form D filed 56 days after the first sale — Southwest Trade Services, LLC

The filing says the first sale was Jul 26, 2010. The Form D was filed Sep 20, 2010 — 56 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 41 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.

Form D · Sep 20, 2010 ↗ (Sep 20, 2010)
Southwest Trade Services, LLC — PartnerFacts page ↗ (Sep 20, 2010)

Note · Jul 26, 2010 – Sep 20, 2010

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Southwest Trade Services, LLC (latest filing Sep 20, 2010)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Sep 20, 2010 (first sale Jul 26, 2010). It reports $500,000 sold of $6,000,000 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 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.

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).
