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

All 2 issuers belong to the sponsor group Cordillera (31 issuers, $1.75B reported sold, 2015–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Cordillera has 31 companies on file and $1.75B reported sold in total — the group page shows the whole track record in one place.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, LA, ME, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, NH, NM, OR, RI, TX, WA) — 2 court cases matching the name, 3 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 5 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 2 public filings for TAYLOR KAUER and found 5 differences: Bankruptcy case: Kauer v. Capital One Auto Finance, a division of Capital On; Bankruptcy case: Kauer v. Jefferson Capital Systems, LLC; 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.

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.
