Reciprocal common-control disclosures use different dates and do not establish his personal ownership. ## Registration and employment - Analysis: Bowden’s regulatory report records registration with Linqto Capital from December 26, 2024 and SB1 Capital Markets from November 7, 2024. Its employment history dates his Capital CEO role to December 2024 and lists Digital Asset Consultants CEO from July 2023, a Pickwick managing-director role in 2024, Symbridge CEO/CCO in March 2020–July 2023 and Arctic CCO/CFO/COO in April 2016–November 2019. Employment and registration dates describe different events. The report disclosed no reportable events, a statement limited to that record. [s-d102] - Analysis: Capital’s CEO-signed exemption report for 2025 states that the firm was not operational, held no customer funds or securities and carried no customer accounts during its reporting period. Those assertions concern Capital’s own operations and period. [s-d79] ## Reciprocal control disclosures - Analysis: Capital’s regulatory report describes common control with SB1 through Bowden effective December 26, 2024; SB1’s reciprocal entry uses January 24, 2025. SB1’s report separately identifies Bowden as CEO and principal operations officer from January 2025, and SB1 Markets AS as foreign parent owning at least 75%. Common control through Bowden does not establish his personal ownership of either firm. Their shared Madison Avenue address supplies no additional ownership evidence. SB1’s no-event disclosure likewise applies only to its report.
