The short version

Peter M. Sullivan is listed as an executive officer on 12 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Mar 2010 and Apr 2020: Mellon Optima L/S Strategy Fund, LLC (Boston, MA — pooled investment fund — 2010–2020; $805.4M reported sold to 4,260 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 Anthony J. Mastrocola (12 shared filings), Arthur Williams III (12 shared filings), Carla Diane Hunter (12 shared filings), Newton P.S. Merrill (12 shared filings), Robert Bowen (12 shared filings) and 13 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Peter. 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) — 10 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 10 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 12 public filings for Peter M. Sullivan and found 5 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: 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.

4. Differences between public sources

Comparisons cover issuers and sponsor groups — see the issuer pages under Deals

5 differences found between the filings for Peter M. Sullivan — 1 worth asking about (compared 12 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Mar 15, 2012 – Apr 13, 2012

Investor count went down between filings — Mellon Optima L/S Strategy Fund, LLC

The Mar 15, 2012 filing reports 4,260 investors; the Apr 13, 2012 Form D/A reports 2,794 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 · Mar 12, 2004 – Apr 17, 2020

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Mellon Optima L/S Strategy Fund, LLC (latest filing Apr 17, 2020)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Apr 17, 2020 (first sale Mar 12, 2004). It reports $805,395,094 sold of an indefinite amount 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 · Mar 9, 2012 – Apr 28, 2026

Same name, different state: "Peter Sullivan" (NY) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is MA. A separate record, "Peter Sullivan" with address state NY, is listed on 6 filings — most recently by LCP MX EB-5 Lender LLC (Apr 28, 2026). Both records have filings in the same period (Mar 9, 2012 to Apr 17, 2020).

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.

Sources
Note · Oct 22, 2012 – Jul 24, 2013

Same name, different state: "Peter Sullivan" (CA) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is MA. A separate record, "Peter Sullivan" with address state CA, is listed on 3 filings — most recently by Lombard Asia IV, L.P. (Jul 24, 2013). Both records have filings in the same period (Oct 22, 2012 to Jul 24, 2013).

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.

Sources
Note · Mar 15, 2010 – Mar 15, 2011

Reported net asset value range changed between filings — Mellon Optima L/S Strategy Fund, LLC

"Decline to Disclose" (Mar 15, 2010); then "Over $100,000,000" (Mar 15, 2011).

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.

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.
