The short version

Biovest is a sponsor group of 3 issuers that PartnerFacts links to one sponsor (shared people, same business address; automatic match from the filings), filing 4 Form D filings between Oct 2010 and Apr 2016.

What this means One team, 3 deal companies, about 6 years of track record in SEC filings. We link the companies because the same people or address appear on their forms — tap "Request a correction" if that is wrong.

Combined reported sold: $7.97M to 25 investors (latest filing per issuer). Industries as reported: Biotechnology (2), Pharmaceuticals (1). Issuers are based in FL (3).

What this means $7.97M raised across the group, about $319K per investor. Amounts come from each company's latest Form D; they are what the sponsor reported, not audited figures.

Principal people: Christopher C. Chapman (2 issuers, director), Edmund C. King (2 issuers, director), Francis E. O'Donnell, Jr. (2 issuers, executive officer and director), Garrison J. Hasara (2 issuers, executive officer), Samuel S. Duffey (2 issuers, executive officer) and 18 more.

What this means The person on the most companies is usually the one running the show; their page lists every deal.

Activity: 0 new offerings in the last 12 months; latest filing Apr 22, 2016.

What this means No new raise filed in the past year.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, DE, FINRA, FL, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY), property records (NYC, FL, IL and TX counties) — 13 court cases matching the name, 6 SEC releases, 8 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 27 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 4 public filings for Biovest and found 13 differences, 3 worth asking the sponsor about: Regulator action naming a team member: Biovest International, Inc. Olie Inc. (n/k/a Syndicate Business Development Corp.) Stargate Entertainment, Inc. Three Sigma Ventures, Inc. (Apr 20, 2017); Regulator action naming a team member: Accentia Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. Biostem U.S. Corp. (Oct 16, 2015); 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.

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — HedgePath Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (latest filing Apr 22, 2016)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Apr 22, 2016 (first sale Apr 11, 2016). It reports $600,000 sold of $5,500,000 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.

Member companies were formed in 2 different states

Delaware (2), Florida (1) — out of 3 member issuers. The odd ones out: ACCENTIA BIOPHARMACEUTICALS INC (Florida).

What this means Sponsors often form each deal company in Delaware or Wyoming no matter where the property is. A mix is common; it just tells you which state's rules each company lives under.

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.

How this is counted

Counts come from Form D Items 12–15 on the filings in our index (latest filing per offering; one offering = one SEC file number; an amendment updates its offering rather than adding one). "To insiders" = gross proceeds used for payments to executive officers, directors or promoters. "—" = not reported on that filing. Amounts marked (est.) were reported as estimates. "Paid to sell it" = sales compensation recipients named on that filing (Item 12), each linked to FINRA BrokerCheck when a CRD number is reported.

Counted across all 3 issuers in this group — every filing in our index, latest filing per offering (SEC file number).

Business registration (state registry / Secretary of State)

2 of 3 issuers have a matched state registry record — records by status: revoked / administratively dissolved 2.

Registries searched: AL (Alabama Secretary of State — Business Entity Records (arc-sos.state.al.us), searched by issuer name, data as of Oct 24, 2026); CO (Colorado Secretary of State — Business Entities in Colorado (data.colorado.gov), data as of Oct 23, 2026); CT (Connecticut Secretary of the State — Business Registry (data.ct.gov), data as of Oct 24, 2026); FL (Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations — quarterly corporate data file (Sunbiz), data as of Oct 7, 2026); KY (Kentucky Secretary of State — Business Entity Search (sosbes.sos.ky.gov), searched by issuer name, data as of Oct 24, 2026); NY (New York Department of State — Corporations and Other Entities (data.ny.gov: All Filings + Active Corporations), data as of Oct 20, 2026); OR (Oregon Secretary of State — Active Businesses, All (data.oregon.gov), data as of Oct 20, 2026); PA (Pennsylvania Department of State — Registered Businesses, Current (data.pa.gov), data as of Oct 6, 2026); TX (Texas Comptroller — Active Franchise Taxpayers incl.

Registries of other states have not been searched: many publish no bulk file and require a CAPTCHA or bot challenge on their search page, which we do not bypass (Delaware, for example, offers no public bulk file). A registry listing is the state's own record of the entity; it says nothing about the offering itself.

Adviser registration (Form ADV)
