The short version

Barton E. Black is listed as an executive officer on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Oct 2025: F&M BANK CORP (Timberville, VA — commercial banking — 2025; $12.8M reported sold to 18 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Oct 2025. 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 Anne B. Keeler (1 shared filing), Aubrey Michael Wilkerson (1 shared filing), Charles C. Driest (1 shared filing), Christopher S. Runion (1 shared filing), Dean W. Withers (1 shared filing) and 10 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Barton. 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) — none found.

What this means Nothing turned up where we looked (3 sources). That does not prove there is nothing — it means none was found in those sources on that date.

We compared 1 public filing for Barton E. Black and found 1 difference: 5 bankruptcy cases name the subject or team members.

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.

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
