Listed alongside Robert C. Watson (19 shared filings), Charles G McNally (15 shared filings), Marc Freed (6 shared filings), Hashimoto Takashi (5 shared filings) and Rima Doshi (3 shared filings).

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

The issuers belong to 2 sponsor groups: Lyster Watson (9 issuers, $593.2M reported sold, 2009–2012) and Crestline (108 issuers, $17.69B reported sold, 2009–2026).

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 6 court cases matching the name, 5 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 11 records came back, including 1 court case still open — open cases can take years and cost money. 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 21 public filings for Robert Lyster and found 14 differences, 7 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.

4. Differences between public sources

14 differences found between the filings for Robert Lyster — 7 worth asking about (compared 21 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Mar 16, 2012 – Mar 18, 2013

Amount sold went down between filings — Lyster Watson Distressed Opportunity Fund, L.P.

The Mar 16, 2012 filing says $63,642,015 sold; the Mar 18, 2013 Form D/A says $4,573,347 sold — $59,068,668 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.

Form D filed 2,815 days after the first sale — Lyster Watson Distressed Opportunity Fund, L.P.

The filing says the first sale was Jul 1, 2001. The Form D was filed Mar 16, 2009 — 2,815 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 2,800 days past that.

What this means The notice went in months after money was taken in. Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves, but it is fair to ask 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.

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).

Deals 6

Every issuer that named Robert Lyster on a Form D, newest first. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment.
