The short version

Thomas Eric Brown is listed as an executive officer on 3 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Jan 2018 and Oct 2018: Hail Merry, LLC (Dallas, TX — industry reported as "Other" — 2018; $5.96M reported sold to 17 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Oct 2018. 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 Aaron Enrico (3 shared filings), Garrett Hoffman (3 shared filings), Hale Hoak (3 shared filings), Mark Rampolla (3 shared filings), Stephen O'Brien (3 shared filings) and 3 others.

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.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 1 SEC release, 4 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 3 public filings for Thomas Eric Brown and found 10 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: 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

Comparisons cover issuers and sponsor groups — see the issuer pages under Deals

10 differences found between the filings for Thomas Eric Brown — 1 worth asking about (compared 3 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · May 15, 2018 – Oct 5, 2018

Investor count went down between filings — Hail Merry, LLC

The May 15, 2018 filing reports 2 investors; the Oct 5, 2018 Form D/A reports 1 investor.

What this means Investor counts normally only grow. A smaller number can mean investors left or were refunded, or a count was corrected. Ask the sponsor what happened.

Sources
Note · Dec 21, 2017 – Jan 11, 2018

Form D filed 21 days after the first sale — Hail Merry, LLC

The filing says the first sale was Dec 21, 2017. The Form D was filed Jan 11, 2018 — 21 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 6 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.

Sources
Note · May 15, 2018 – Oct 5, 2018

Offering amount changed between filings — Hail Merry, LLC

The May 15, 2018 filing says $1,187,239 offered; the Oct 5, 2018 Form D/A says $1,264,337.

What this means The target raise changed. Raising the cap is common when a deal grows; ask whether the extra money has the same terms and use.

Sources
Note · Apr 30, 2018 – Oct 5, 2018

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Hail Merry, LLC (latest filing Oct 5, 2018)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Oct 5, 2018 (first sale Apr 30, 2018). It reports $1,083,462 sold of $1,264,337 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.

Sources
Note · Dec 21, 2017 – Jan 11, 2018

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Hail Merry, LLC (latest filing Jan 11, 2018)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jan 11, 2018 (first sale Dec 21, 2017). It reports $2,035,000 sold of $2,100,000 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.

Note · May 15, 2018 – Oct 5, 2018

Minimum investment changed between filings — Hail Merry, LLC

The May 15, 2018 filing lists a minimum of $0; the Oct 5, 2018 Form D/A lists $1.

What this means A different minimum usually means the offering terms changed. Check which terms apply to you.

Sources
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.
