The short version

Mark Peterson is listed as a director on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Oct 2009: LIBERTY FINANCIAL SERVICES INC /IA (Sioux City, IA — commercial banking — 2009; $5.12M reported sold to 5 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Oct 2009. 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 Brad M. Knepper (1 shared filing), Brian Gunderson (1 shared filing), Chase R. Anderson (1 shared filing), Cy Cheterman, Jr. (1 shared filing), Don Vaudt (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) — 1 court case matching the name, 1 SEC release, 6 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 8 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 Peterson and found 6 differences: Form D filed 26 days after the first sale; Same name, different state: "Mark Christopher Peterson" (MT) is a separate record; 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 Peterson (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Sep 30, 2009 – Oct 26, 2009

Form D filed 26 days after the first sale — LIBERTY FINANCIAL SERVICES INC /IA

The filing says the first sale was Sep 30, 2009. The Form D was filed Oct 26, 2009 — 26 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 11 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.

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.
