The short version

Thomas Lee is listed as an executive officer and director on 3 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Jun 2014 and Sep 2024: RL Project Investors LLC (Wilmington, DE — other real estate — 2019–2024; $15M reported sold to 29 investors) and Beacon Audio, Inc. (Salt Lake City, UT — business services — 2014; $433K reported sold to 16 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 10 years. Across those companies the filings report $15.4M sold in total.

Listed alongside Justin Earl (2 shared filings), Ronald Heffernan (2 shared filings), Alan Wilson (1 shared filing), Bruno Mascolo (1 shared filing), Chad Swensen (1 shared filing) and 4 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 bankruptcy case matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 1 record 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 Lee and found 12 differences: Form D filed 18 days after the first sale; Form D filed 21 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.

12 differences found between the filings for Thomas Lee (compared 3 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Sep 1, 2024 – Sep 19, 2024

Form D filed 18 days after the first sale — RL Project Investors LLC

The filing says the first sale was Sep 1, 2024. The Form D was filed Sep 19, 2024 — 18 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 3 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.

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).
