The short version

Sanjeev Gupta is listed as an executive officer on 9 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Jul 2011 and Oct 2014: AEMETIS, INC (Cupertino, CA — other energy — 2011–2014; $1.2M reported sold to 29 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 Andrew Foster (9 shared filings), Eric A McAfee (9 shared filings), Harold Sorgenti (9 shared filings), Todd Waltz (9 shared filings), John Block (8 shared filings) and 4 others.

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

The issuer belongs to the sponsor group Aemetis (2 issuers, $8.3M reported sold, 2011–2019).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Aemetis has 2 companies on file and $8.3M reported sold in total — the group page shows the whole track record in one place.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 2 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below. Not yet searched: SEC enforcement releases.

What this means 2 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.

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 1

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