Listed alongside Dale Bernstein (2 shared filings), Dean Kehler (2 shared filings), Jay Remis (2 shared filings), Lori Ordover (2 shared filings), Mark Shwartz (2 shared filings) and 7 others.

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

All 2 issuers belong to the sponsor group Ironwood (2 issuers, $2.15M reported sold, 2011).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Ironwood has 2 companies on file and $2.15M 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) — 1 court case matching the name, 10 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 11 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 William Ball and found 5 differences: No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open; Same name, different state: "William F. Ball, III" (VA) is a separate record; 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

5 differences found between the filings for William Ball (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Sep 28, 2011 – Oct 6, 2011

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Ironwood Global, LLC (latest filing Oct 6, 2011)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Oct 6, 2011 (first sale Sep 28, 2011). It reports $2,150,000 sold of $3,000,000 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.

Same name, different state: "William F. Ball, III" (VA) is a separate record

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.

5. Money to insiders

0 of 2 offerings report sales commissions; 0 report finder's fees; 1 reports proceeds to related persons totalling $300,000. (includes amounts the issuer reported as estimates)

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).
