The short version

Richard C. Marcus is listed as a director on 5 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Sep 2010 and Mar 2014: MWD Marketing, Inc. (Napa, CA — industry reported as "Other" — 2010–2011; $6.79M reported sold to 31 investors) and WineSimple, Inc. (San Francisco, CA — other technology — 2012–2014; $168K reported sold to 20 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as director, over about 4 years. Across those companies the filings report $6.95M sold in total.

Listed alongside Robert Miller (4 shared filings), Richard Wollack (3 shared filings), Charles Baxter (2 shared filings), David Cremin (2 shared filings), JOHN C BACKUS JR (2 shared filings) and 7 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Richard. 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, 7 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 9 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 5 public filings for Richard C. Marcus and found 7 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 107 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.

4. Differences between public sources

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

7 differences found between the filings for Richard C. Marcus — 1 worth asking about (compared 5 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Nov 19, 2013 – Mar 6, 2014

Form D filed 107 days after the first sale — WineSimple, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Nov 19, 2013. The Form D was filed Mar 6, 2014 — 107 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 92 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.

Sources
Note · Jan 23, 2012 – Mar 15, 2012

Form D filed 52 days after the first sale — WineSimple, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Jan 23, 2012. The Form D was filed Mar 15, 2012 — 52 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 37 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.

Note · Aug 18, 2010 – Mar 6, 2014

5 offerings have no amendment in the last 12 months and may still be open

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — WineSimple, Inc. (latest filing Mar 6, 2014) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — WineSimple, Inc. (latest filing Oct 19, 2012) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — WineSimple, Inc. (latest filing Mar 15, 2012) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — MWD Marketing, Inc. (latest filing Aug 11, 2011) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — MWD Marketing, Inc. (latest filing Sep 2, 2010)

What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. Ask the sponsor which of these raises have closed.

Sources
Note · Sep 2, 2010 – Mar 15, 2012

Richard C. Marcus is written 2 different ways on the filings

listed as "Richard Marcus" on 2 filings (from Sep 2, 2010), and "Richard C Marcus" on 3 filings (from Mar 15, 2012).

What this means Same person, written differently — a middle name or suffix left off, or spelled another way. It is normal, but check that the full legal name matches your subscription documents.

Sources
Note · Sep 1, 2010 – Mar 11, 2015

Same name, different state: "Richard Marcus" (TX) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA. A separate record, "Richard Marcus" with address state TX, is listed on 10 filings — most recently by FIRST INSIGHT INC (Mar 11, 2015). Both records have filings in the same period (Mar 15, 2012 to Mar 6, 2014).

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 · May 3, 2010

Same name, different state: "Richard Marcus" (NY) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA. A separate record, "Richard Marcus" with address state NY, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by Q.bel Foods LLC (May 3, 2010). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Mar 15, 2012 to Mar 6, 2014; the other has one filing dated May 3, 2010.

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.

Sources
Note · Mar 15, 2012 – Oct 19, 2012

Address moved from Larkspur, CA to San Francisco, CA — WineSimple, Inc.

The people listed on the Mar 15, 2012 filing give Larkspur, CA; on the Oct 19, 2012 filing they give San Francisco, 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.

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.

"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.
