The short version

Adam Smith is listed as a director on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Jul 2018: Dynamize LLC (Columbia, MO — manufacturing — 2018; $188K reported sold to 1 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Jul 2018. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment — it is a notice, not an approval.

No other person or management entity is listed on the same filings.

What this means The filings name this person alone — no co-officers, directors or promoters were listed.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 3 SEC releases, 2 bankruptcy cases 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 Adam Smith and found 7 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Paid seller listed without a CRD number: Dynamize LLC; 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.

4. Differences between public sources

Comparisons cover issuers and sponsor groups — see the issuer pages under Deals

7 differences found between the filings for Adam Smith — 1 worth asking about (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Jul 25, 2018

Paid seller listed without a CRD number: Dynamize LLC — Dynamize LLC

Dynamize LLC is listed as receiving sales compensation on 1 filing (Jul 25, 2018) with no FINRA CRD number given.

What this means People paid to sell securities normally hold a FINRA registration with a CRD number. Without one we cannot look them up on BrokerCheck. Ask who they are and whether they are registered.

Sources
Note · Jun 29, 2018 – Jul 25, 2018

Form D filed 26 days after the first sale — Dynamize LLC

The filing says the first sale was Jun 29, 2018. The Form D was filed Jul 25, 2018 — 26 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 11 days past that.

What this means A late notice is common and carries no penalty by itself. It is worth asking the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Note · Oct 7, 2015 – Apr 13, 2021

Same name, different state: "Adam Smith" (WA) is a separate record

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.

5. Money to insiders

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 every filing this person is listed on (latest filing per offering, per issuer).
