The short version

Michael James is listed as an executive officer and director on 10 SEC Form D filings by 5 issuers between Jun 2009 and Jan 2025: GUERNSEY HOLDINGS ZRC HOLDCO, LLC (Florence, SC — restaurants — 2024–2025; $34.3M reported sold to 27 investors), US TELEPACIFIC HOLDINGS CORP (Los Angeles, CA — telecommunications — 2009; $20M reported sold to 5 investors), GH 7B HOLDCO LLC (Las Vegas, NV — restaurants — 2023; $4M reported sold to 39 investors), Unrivaled Brands, Inc. (Santa Ana, CA — retailing — 2013–2015; $3.53M reported sold to 25 investors) and Guernsey Holdings LLC (Las Vegas, NV — restaurants — 2021; $1.8M reported sold to 6 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 5 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 16 years. Across those companies the filings report $63.7M sold in total.

Listed alongside Amy Almsteier (5 shared filings), Derek Peterson (5 shared filings), Ken Vande Vrede (5 shared filings), Michael Nahass (5 shared filings), Steven Ross (5 shared filings) and 26 others.

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

2 of the issuers belong to the sponsor group Gh 7b Holdco (2 issuers, $7.2M reported sold, 2023–2025).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Gh 7b Holdco has 2 companies on file and $7.2M 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 (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, DE, FINRA, FL, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 7 state regulator orders, 17 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 24 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 10 public filings for Michael James and found 13 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: 6 Form Ds were filed more than 15 days after the first sale; 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.

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Unrivaled Brands, Inc. (latest filing Mar 13, 2015)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Mar 13, 2015 (first sale Feb 27, 2015). It reports $0 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.

Note · Jan 7, 2014 – Jul 24, 2014

Michael James's role changed at Unrivaled Brands, Inc.: executive officer → executive officer, director

The Jan 7, 2014 filing lists Michael James as executive officer; the Jul 24, 2014 Form D lists executive officer, director.

What this means Roles on Form D are self-reported by the issuer. A change can mean a real change in who runs the company, or just a different box ticked. Ask who makes decisions today.

Note · Apr 29, 2013 – Mar 13, 2015

Industry group changed between filings — Unrivaled Brands, Inc.

"Retailing" (Apr 29, 2013 to Jul 24, 2014); then "Manufacturing" (Mar 13, 2015 to Jul 1, 2015).

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.

Note · Apr 29, 2013 – Mar 13, 2015

Reported revenue range changed between filings — Unrivaled Brands, Inc.

"$1 - $1,000,000" (Apr 29, 2013); then "$1,000,001 - $5,000,000" (Jul 24, 2014); then "Decline to Disclose" (Mar 13, 2015).

What this means This is the size band the issuer picks for itself on the form. A change can mean the business grew or shrank — or that it chose not to say. Ask for current numbers.

Same name, different state: "Michael C. James" (GA) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA or NV. A separate record, "Michael C. James" with address state GA, is listed on 4 filings — most recently by GUIDED THERAPEUTICS INC (Jul 15, 2015). Both records have filings in the same period (Sep 13, 2010 to Jul 15, 2015).

What this means Two records with one name were active at the same time. That can be one person listing different company addresses, or two different people. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

Address moved from Irvine, CA to Newport Beach, CA — Unrivaled Brands, Inc.

The people listed on the Jan 7, 2014 filing give Irvine, CA; on the Jul 24, 2014 filing they give Newport Beach, CA.

What this means Businesses move; this just shows the two places and dates. If you were told one city and the forms say another, ask which is current.

Note · Jun 29, 2009 – Jan 22, 2025

Michael James is listed with 2 different address states: CA, NV

CA on 7 filings (Jun 29, 2009 to Jun 10, 2021); NV on 3 filings (Sep 28, 2023 to Jan 22, 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.

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

2 of 10 offerings report sales commissions totalling $209,800; 0 report finder's fees; 3 report proceeds to related persons totalling $485,000. (includes amounts the issuer reported as estimates)

How this is counted

Counts come from Form D Items 12–15 on the filings in our index (latest filing per offering; one offering = one SEC file number; an amendment updates its offering rather than adding one). "To insiders" = gross proceeds used for payments to executive officers, directors or promoters. "—" = not reported on that filing. Amounts marked (est.) were reported as estimates. "Paid to sell it" = sales compensation recipients named on that filing (Item 12), each linked to FINRA BrokerCheck when a CRD number is reported.

Counted across every filing this person is listed on (latest filing per offering, per issuer).
