The short version

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.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 15 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 15 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 Barnwell and found 5 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: 640% of the money raised went to insiders; 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 Barnwell — 1 worth asking about (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Nov 16, 2011

640% of the money raised went to insiders — Discovery Carbon Environmental Securities Corp

The Nov 16, 2011 Form D reports $37,500 sold and $240,000 of the proceeds used for payments to officers, directors or promoters (marked as an estimate). Issuer's note: "It's estimated that 6% of gross proceeds may be payable to officers. Of the initial $25,000, approximately $4,175 will be paid to officers.".

What this means The filing reports how much of the money raised was paid to insiders. Over 10% is high for most deals. Ask what it paid for.

Form D · Nov 16, 2011 ↗Discovery Carbon Environmental Securities Corp — PartnerFacts page ↗
Sources
Note · Nov 16, 2011 – Apr 16, 2021

William Barnwell appears on 2 deals that stopped filing before reaching their target

ECO ALLIES INC. (last filing Apr 16, 2021; $29,500 sold of $1,000,000); Discovery Carbon Environmental Securities Corp (last filing Nov 16, 2011; $37,500 sold of $4,000,000). Each has no filing in more than two years and reported under half its target sold.

What this means An issuer whose last filing is more than two years old and reported under half its target sold. The raise may have closed early or quietly stopped. Ask what happened to each.

ECO ALLIES INC. — PartnerFacts page ↗Discovery Carbon Environmental Securities Corp — PartnerFacts page ↗
Sources
Note · Mar 31, 2021 – Apr 16, 2021

Form D filed 16 days after the first sale — ECO ALLIES INC.

The filing says the first sale was Mar 31, 2021. The Form D was filed Apr 16, 2021 — 16 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 1 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.

Form D · Apr 16, 2021 ↗ECO ALLIES INC. — PartnerFacts page ↗
Sources
Note · Mar 31, 2021 – Apr 16, 2021

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — ECO ALLIES INC. (latest filing Apr 16, 2021)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Apr 16, 2021 (first sale Mar 31, 2021). It reports $29,500 sold of $1,000,000 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.

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; 1 reports finder's fees totalling $3,750; 2 report proceeds to related persons totalling $241,000. (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).
