Distinct shells carrying a filed role for this person — not every shell they have ever touched.
SEC-verified vehicles of the same sponsor, predating these roles and carrying none of them. The badge counts them; the figure beside this one does not.
Mergers closed across all 10 — these vehicles and the franchise's earlier ones together.
Announced but not closed, and still hunting — again over all 10.
No closed vehicle here has both a stored price and a filed trust value to score it against.
1 liquidated — weigh against the wins.
4 vehicles on file, newest listing first
none appears on more than one · 3 vehicles carry no counterparty filing we have read

[Origin not recorded. Carried over from /people/katz-avi-s-1693, a second record for the same person.]
This record is keyed to SEC CIK 0001451693 — the identifier this person files under in their own name. Every vehicle above is a filing made under that CIK, so “the same person on two shells” is a fact about an SEC identifier rather than about a name that happens to match.
Roles are the strings the filings used, in the order they were filed. Nothing on this page ranks them, infers seniority, or offers a reason why any two of these names recur — a recurrence is a count, and the filings that produced it are linked beside every row. We also hold 158 institutional-holder rows on these vehicles, under 66 distinct name strings, and none of them is counted across vehicles: that table has no CIK column, and matching holders by name would merge firms that are not the same firm.
