The short version

Aaron Berez is listed as an executive officer and director on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Nov 2013: SAPHEON, INC. (Morrisville, NC — other health care — 2013; $3.56M reported sold to 49 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Nov 2013. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment — it is a notice, not an approval.

Listed alongside R. Donald Crawford (1 shared filing) and Rodney Raabe (1 shared filing).

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Aaron. Each name links to their own page.

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) — 4 court cases matching the name, 1 bankruptcy case matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 5 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 1 public filing for Aaron Berez and found 6 differences: 3 court cases name Aaron Berez; Aaron Berez appears on 1 deal that stopped filing before reaching its target; 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.

6 differences found between the filings for Aaron Berez (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Apr 26, 1988 – Apr 18, 2014

3 court cases name Aaron Berez — 1 as defendant

By role: plaintiff in 2, defendant in 1. Newest: "BEREZ v. PRESSLER AND PRESSLER, LLP." (District Court, D. New Jersey, Apr 18, 2014); "Berez v. Mediagenic, Inc." (District Court, D. Massachusetts, Nov 17, 1988); "FEDL LAND BANK v. BEREZ ETAL" (District Court, D. Puerto Rico, Apr 26, 1988). Some of these are name matches with a match estimate below 95% — check each docket.

What this means Several court cases name this subject. Some are routine business suits. Ask what each was about and how it ended.

Aaron Berez appears on 1 deal that stopped filing before reaching its target

SAPHEON, INC. (last filing Nov 21, 2013; $3,559,945 sold of $27,000,000). Each has no filing in more than two years and reported under half its target sold.

What this means An issuer whose last filing is more than two years old and reported under half its target sold. The raise may have closed early or quietly stopped. Ask what happened to each.

Note · Nov 15, 2013 – Nov 21, 2013

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — SAPHEON, INC. (latest filing Nov 21, 2013)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Nov 21, 2013 (first sale Nov 15, 2013). It reports $3,559,945 sold of $10,000,000 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.

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.
