Data last updated Oct 23, 2026, 5:45 PM ET · Courts (RECAP) last checked: Oct 24, 2026, 2:45 AM ET · SEC enforcement last checked: covered by the index scan as of Oct 24, 2026, 2:50 AM ET

The short version

William Masih is listed as an executive officer on 6 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Dec 2019 and Oct 2023: Wellin5 USA, Inc. (Carlsbad, CA — industry reported as "Other" — 2019–2023; $1.28M reported sold to 26 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment — it is a notice, not an approval.

No other person or management entity is listed on the same filings.

What this means The filings name this person alone — no co-officers, directors or promoters were listed.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 8 court cases matching the name, 6 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 14 records came back, including 1 court case still open — open cases can take years and cost money. 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 6 public filings for William Masih and found 4 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 248 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

4 differences found between the filings for William Masih — 1 worth asking about (compared 6 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Oct 1, 2021 – Jun 6, 2022

Form D filed 248 days after the first sale — Wellin5 USA, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Oct 1, 2021. The Form D was filed Jun 6, 2022 — 248 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 233 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.

Sources
Note · Oct 1, 2021 – Oct 28, 2022

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Wellin5 USA, Inc. (latest filing Oct 28, 2022)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Oct 28, 2022 (first sale Oct 1, 2021). It reports $1,210,000 sold of an indefinite amount 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 · Sep 2, 2021 – Sep 8, 2021

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Wellin5 USA, Inc. (latest filing Sep 8, 2021)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Sep 8, 2021 (first sale Sep 2, 2021). It reports $1,281,416 sold of $1,300,000 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.

Sources
Note · Sep 3, 2021 – Sep 8, 2021

Address moved from Sacramento, CA to Carlsbad, CA — Wellin5 USA, Inc.

The people listed on the Sep 3, 2021 filing give Sacramento, CA; on the Sep 8, 2021 filing they give Carlsbad, CA.

What this means Businesses move; this just shows the two places and dates. If you were told one city and the forms say another, ask which is current.

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.
