The short version

MARK CASTANEDA is listed as an executive officer and director on 6 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between Jan 2010 and Jan 2025: Primo Water Corp (Winston-Salem, NC — retailing — 2010; $31.1M reported sold to 28 investors), CDM Field Services LLC (Chicago, IL — business services — 2024–2025; $3.4M reported sold to 15 investors) and Gold Flora Corp. (Costa Mesa, CA — industry reported as "Other" — 2023; 92 investors reported).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 3 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 15 years. Across those companies the filings report $34.5M sold in total.

Listed alongside David L. Warnock (5 shared filings), Billy D. Prim (3 shared filings), David Wade Dupree (3 shared filings), RICHARD BRENNER (3 shared filings), Duane G Goodwin (2 shared filings) and 19 others.

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

1 of the issuers belongs to the sponsor group Group linked by Billy D. Prim (5 issuers, $41.7M reported sold, 2009–2018).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Group linked by Billy D. Prim has 5 companies on file and $41.7M 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 (AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, LA, ME, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, NH, NM, OR, RI, TX, WA) — 4 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 4 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 6 public filings for MARK CASTANEDA and found 7 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Bankruptcy case: Mark Castaneda; 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

7 differences found between the filings for MARK CASTANEDA — 1 worth asking about (compared 6 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Apr 15, 2022 – Aug 2, 2022

Bankruptcy case: Mark Castaneda — filed Apr 15, 2022

United States Bankruptcy Court, C.D. California docket "Mark Castaneda" filed Apr 15, 2022, closed Aug 2, 2022. MARK CASTANEDA is listed as Debtor ("Mark Castaneda"). Our match estimate: 50%.

What this means A bankruptcy filing was found. Many are old or personal and have nothing to do with the deal — but ask what it was and when it closed.

Sources
Note · Jun 30, 2024 – Jan 6, 2025

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — CDM Field Services LLC (latest filing Jan 6, 2025)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jan 6, 2025 (first sale Jun 30, 2024). It reports $3,400,000 sold of $5,400,000 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.

Sources
Note · Jul 7, 2023 – Jul 21, 2023

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Gold Flora Corp. (latest filing Jul 21, 2023)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jul 21, 2023 (first sale Jul 7, 2023). It reports $0 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 · Jul 15, 2024 – Jan 6, 2025

Offering amount changed between filings — CDM Field Services LLC

The Jul 15, 2024 filing says $3,900,000 offered; the Jan 6, 2025 Form D/A says $5,400,000.

What this means The target raise changed. Raising the cap is common when a deal grows; ask whether the extra money has the same terms and use.

Sources
Note · Jul 15, 2024 – Jan 6, 2025

Minimum investment changed between filings — CDM Field Services LLC

The Jul 15, 2024 filing lists a minimum of $100,000; the Jan 6, 2025 Form D/A lists $25,000.

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

Sources
Note · Jan 8, 2010 – Dec 1, 2010

Industry group changed between filings — Primo Water Corp

"Other" (Jan 8, 2010 to Oct 7, 2010); then "Retailing" (Dec 1, 2010).

What this means The issuer described its business differently on different forms. Often it is just a different box ticked; sometimes the deal itself changed. Ask which business your money is in.

Sources
Note · Jan 8, 2010 – Jan 6, 2025

MARK CASTANEDA is listed with 3 different address states: NC, CA, IL

NC on 3 filings (Jan 8, 2010 to Dec 1, 2010); CA on 2 filings (Jul 21, 2023 to Jul 15, 2024); IL on 1 filing (Jan 6, 2025).

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
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.
