Data last updated Oct 23, 2026, 5:45 PM ET · Courts (RECAP) last checked: Oct 24, 2026, 2:16 AM ET · SEC enforcement last checked: covered by the index scan as of Oct 24, 2026, 2:50 AM ET

The short version

William R Stuart is listed as an executive officer on 7 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Apr 2015 and Nov 2025: Milestone Financial, LLC (Los Altos, CA — pooled investment fund — 2015–2025; $60.7M reported sold to 202 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 (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) — 13 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 13 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 7 public filings for William R Stuart and found 8 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: Amount sold went down between filings; 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.

What this means Amounts sold normally only go up as a raise continues. A drop can mean investors were refunded, a figure was corrected, or an earlier number was wrong. Ask the sponsor which it was.

Sources

The Mar 28, 2018 filing reports 56 investors; the Apr 24, 2019 Form D/A reports 39 investors.

The Apr 2, 2020 filing says an indefinite amount offered; the Nov 21, 2025 Form D/A says $70,000,000.

What this means This is the size band the issuer picks for itself on the form. A change can mean the business grew or shrank — or that it chose not to say. Ask for current numbers.

Note · Sep 27, 2010 – Nov 16, 2015

Same name, different state: "William Stuart" (OH) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA. A separate record, "William Stuart" with address state OH, is listed on 2 filings — most recently by CLINICAL OUTCOMES MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS LLC (Nov 16, 2015). Both records have filings in the same period (Apr 21, 2015 to Nov 16, 2015).

What this means Two records with one name were active at the same time. That can be one person listing different company addresses, or two different people. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

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.
