Worth a look Unusual reporting

Net worth looks like a misplaced decimal point: $971,000,518 reported, listed items add up to $886,518

Reported net worth: $971,000,518. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $886,518. The reported figure is almost exactly 1,000 times the $886,518 the listed items add up to, which suggests a misplaced decimal point (or digits run together) when it was entered. The listed items are what this filing actually documents. Their 2024 filing reported $1,000,000, in line with these items.

What to check
  • Compare with the filer's other filings for their usual net worth.

Context 1

Context Unusual reporting

Lists 1 investment account ($289,465) instead of what's in them

The instructions say the investments held in a brokerage account or IRA are the assets to report — not the account itself. As listed, the public can't see what the filer is invested in.

What to check
  • Which companies or funds are in these accounts? Holdings matter for conflicts of interest.

Rule: Accounts listed instead of investments
