The short version

Mark McGough is listed as an executive officer and director on 2 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Oct 2008 and Jun 2009: PENTADYNE POWER CORP (Chatsworth, CA — other energy — 2008–2009; $22M reported sold to 9 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 Babcock (2 shared filings), Lee E. Bailey (2 shared filings), Mark Campion (2 shared filings), Ananth Ananthasubramanian (1 shared filing), Ananth Anathasubramanian (1 shared filing) and 6 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 (AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, LA, ME, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, NH, NM, OR, RI, TX, WA) — 1 bankruptcy case matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 1 record 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 McGough and found 8 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: Amount sold went down between filings; Investor count went down between filings; 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.

Note · Jun 15, 2016 – Dec 13, 2016

Bankruptcy case: Cue v. Ansett Aircraft Spares & Services, Inc. — filed Jun 15, 2016

United States Bankruptcy Court, C.D. California docket "Cue v. Ansett Aircraft Spares & Services, Inc." filed Jun 15, 2016, closed Dec 13, 2016. Edward Ansett (listed on the same filings) is listed as Defendant ("Ansett Aircraft Spares & Services, Inc."). Our match estimate: 70%.

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.

Worth asking · Oct 6, 2008 – Jun 18, 2009

Amount sold went down between filings — PENTADYNE POWER CORP

The Oct 6, 2008 filing says $22,000,000 sold; the Jun 18, 2009 Form D says $2,000,000 sold — $20,000,000 less.

What this means Amounts sold normally only go up as a raise continues. A drop can mean investors were refunded, a figure was corrected, or an earlier number was wrong. Ask the sponsor which it was.

Sources
Worth asking · Oct 6, 2008 – Jun 18, 2009

Investor count went down between filings — PENTADYNE POWER CORP

The Oct 6, 2008 filing reports 9 investors; the Jun 18, 2009 Form D reports 3 investors.

What this means Investor counts normally only grow. A smaller number can mean investors left or were refunded, or a count was corrected. Ask the sponsor what happened.

Sources
Note · Sep 22, 2008 – Jun 18, 2009

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — PENTADYNE POWER CORP (latest filing Jun 18, 2009)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jun 18, 2009 (first sale Sep 22, 2008). It reports $2,000,000 sold of $3,000,000 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.

Sources
Note · Oct 6, 2008 – Jun 18, 2009

Offering amount lowered between filings — PENTADYNE POWER CORP

The Oct 6, 2008 filing says $22,000,000 offered; the Jun 18, 2009 Form D says $3,000,000.

What this means The target raise got smaller. That can mean the plan shrank or the sponsor stopped early. Ask what changed in the deal.

Sources
Note · Mar 4, 2011 – Apr 4, 2019

Same name, different state: "Mark McGough" (NY) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA. A separate record, "Mark McGough" with address state NY, is listed on 12 filings — most recently by Ioxus, Inc. (Apr 4, 2019). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Oct 6, 2008 to Jun 18, 2009; the other runs Mar 4, 2011 to Apr 4, 2019.

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.

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.
