(Los Angeles, CA — pooled investment fund — 2010; $25.9M reported sold to 17 investors).

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) — 1 court case matching the name, 10 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 11 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 2 public filings for Mark Doran and found 6 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Mark Doran is no longer listed on the Jun 22, 2010 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

6 differences found between the filings for Mark Doran — 1 worth asking about (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Feb 8, 2010 – Aug 26, 2010

Mark Doran appears on 2 deals that stopped filing before reaching their target

FS Equity Partners VI, L.P. (last filing Aug 26, 2010; $602,700,000 sold of $1,750,000,000); FS Affiliates VI, L.P. (last filing Feb 8, 2010; $25,900,000 sold of $1,330,738,150). Each has no filing in more than two years and reported under half its target sold.

What this means An issuer whose last filing is more than two years old and reported under half its target sold. The raise may have closed early or quietly stopped. Ask what happened to each.

Sources
Note · Jan 28, 2009 – Feb 8, 2010

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — FS Affiliates VI, L.P. (latest filing Feb 8, 2010)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Feb 8, 2010 (first sale Jan 28, 2009). It reports $25,900,000 sold of $1,330,738,150 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
Worth asking · Feb 9, 2010 – Jun 22, 2010

Mark Doran is no longer listed on the Jun 22, 2010 amendment — FS Equity Partners VI, L.P.

Mark Doran appears on the Feb 9, 2010 Form D/A (executive officer) but not on the Jun 22, 2010 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 · Feb 9, 2010 – Jun 22, 2010

Offering amount changed between filings — FS Equity Partners VI, L.P.

The Feb 9, 2010 filing says $1,724,100,000 offered; the Jun 22, 2010 Form D/A says $1,750,000,000.

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 · Dec 28, 2010 – Jan 12, 2018

Same name, different state: "Mark R. Doran" (TX or IL) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is NY. A separate record, "Mark R. Doran" with address state TX or IL, is listed on 7 filings — most recently by Transwestern Commercial Services, L.L.C. (Jan 12, 2018). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Feb 8, 2010 to Feb 9, 2010; the other runs Dec 28, 2010 to Jan 12, 2018.

What this means Could be the same person who moved, or two people with the same name. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

Sources
Note · Feb 9, 2010 – Jun 22, 2010

Address moved from New York, NY to Los Angeles, CA — FS Equity Partners VI, L.P.

The people listed on the Feb 9, 2010 filing give New York, NY; on the Jun 22, 2010 filing they give Los Angeles, CA. The address now on file (11100 Santa Monica Boulevard, Suite 1900, Los Angeles, CA) is a registered-agent or shared-office address used by 137 issuers.

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

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.
