Listed alongside Alan Adams (4 shared filings), John Gavin (4 shared filings), Peter Browning (4 shared filings), Barbara L. Burns (3 shared filings), David Smith (3 shared filings) and 29 others.
What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Ronald. Each name links to their own page.
The issuers belong to 2 sponsor groups: Aea (99 issuers, $16.31B reported sold, 2009–2026) and Goldman Sachs (463 issuers, $168.32B reported sold, 2009–2026).
What this means This person is listed across more than one sponsor team; each group page shows that team's full track record.
Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 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 5 public filings for Ronald Ross and found 9 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: Amount sold went down between filings; Ronald Ross is no longer listed on the Sep 23, 2014 amendment; 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.

Comparisons cover issuers and sponsor groups — see the issuer pages under Deals
9 differences found between the filings for Ronald Ross — 2 worth asking about (compared 5 filings on Oct 24, 2026)
United States Bankruptcy Court, D. New Jersey docket "Chase Manhattan Bank v. DeCillis" filed Oct 19, 1998, closed Feb 28, 2000. Steven E. DeCillis, II (listed on the same filings) is listed as Defendant ("DeCillis"). Our match estimate: 70%.
What this means A bankruptcy filing was found. Many are old or personal and have nothing to do with the deal — but ask what it was and when it closed.
The Sep 6, 2024 filing says $2,876,450,000 sold; the Sep 12, 2025 Form D/A says $291,595,000 sold — $2,584,855,000 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.
The latest filing for this offering is dated Sep 12, 2025 (first sale Jul 15, 2024). It reports $291,595,000 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.
The latest filing for this offering is dated May 18, 2015 (first sale Jun 17, 2014). It reports $34,026,825 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.
The latest filing for this offering is dated Sep 22, 2014 (first sale Sep 16, 2014). It reports $0 sold of $1,350,000 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.
Ronald Ross appears on the Sep 19, 2014 Form D/A (director) but not on the Sep 23, 2014 Form D/A for the same offering.
What this means People leave, and the issuer must list only current officers, directors and promoters. It is still worth asking why this person left and who replaced them.
This page covers filings where the address state is NY or GA. A separate record, "Ronald R. Ross" with address state TX, is listed on 20 filings — most recently by Shingle Acquisition Holdings, Inc. (Apr 12, 2024). Both records have filings in the same period (Sep 19, 2014 to Apr 12, 2024).
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.
The people listed on the Sep 22, 2014 filing give New York, NY; on the May 18, 2015 filing they give Tucker, GA.
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.
NY on 4 filings (Sep 19, 2014 to Sep 12, 2025); GA on 1 filing (May 18, 2015).
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: 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.

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.
