The short version

Mark Fishburn is listed as an executive officer on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Feb 2010: CENX, Inc. (Evanston, IL — telecommunications — 2010; $38K reported sold to 1 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Feb 2010. 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 Chris Purdy (1 shared filing), Chris Swenson (1 shared filing), Dixon Doll (1 shared filing), Eric Gillenwater (1 shared filing), Nan Chen (1 shared filing) and 3 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.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 5 court cases matching the name, 7 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 12 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 1 public filing for Mark Fishburn and found 1 difference: 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

1 difference found between the filings for Mark Fishburn (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Feb 3, 2010 – Feb 17, 2010

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — CENX, Inc. (latest filing Feb 17, 2010)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Feb 17, 2010 (first sale Feb 3, 2010). It reports $37,500 sold of $87,500 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
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

None reported on 1 offering — no sales commissions, finder's fees or proceeds to insiders
