The short version

Thomas Edward Messier is listed as an executive officer, director, and promoter on 5 SEC Form D filings by 4 issuers between Mar 2010 and May 2015: Medalist Fund I, LLC (Richmond, VA — commercial — 2013–2014; $10.6M reported sold to 65 investors), Medalist Properties 8, LLC (Richmond, VA — commercial — 2010; $4.45M reported sold to 45 investors), Medalist Properties 7, LLC (Richmond, VA — commercial — 2010; $2.52M reported sold to 22 investors) and Medalist Fund II, LLC (Richmond, VA — commercial — 2015; $100K reported sold to 1 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 4 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, director, and promoter, over about 5 years. Across those companies the filings report $17.7M sold in total.

Listed alongside William R. Elliott (5 shared filings), Medalist Fund Manager, Inc. (4 shared filings, management entity) and Medalist Fund Manager R. (1 shared filing, management entity).

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

All 4 issuers belong to the sponsor group Medalist (4 issuers, $17.7M reported sold, 2010–2015).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Medalist has 4 companies on file and $17.7M 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 (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 3 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 3 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 Thomas Edward Messier and found 7 differences, 3 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 77 days after the first sale; Form D filed 840 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 Thomas Edward Messier — 3 worth asking about (compared 5 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · May 31, 2013 – Aug 16, 2013

Form D filed 77 days after the first sale — Medalist Fund I, LLC

The filing says the first sale was May 31, 2013. The Form D was filed Aug 16, 2013 — 77 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 62 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.

Worth asking · Nov 28, 2007 – Mar 17, 2010

Form D filed 840 days after the first sale — Medalist Properties 8, LLC

The filing says the first sale was Nov 28, 2007. The Form D was filed Mar 17, 2010 — 840 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 825 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).
