The short version

David Blann is listed as a director on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Feb 2012: Argonaut Exploration Inc. (Calgary, Alberta, Canada (as filed: A0) — industry reported as "Other" — 2012; $9,882 reported sold to 1 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Feb 2012. 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 Brad Bakuska (1 shared filing), CHARLES CHEBRY (1 shared filing), Craig Bentham (1 shared filing), Dale Hansen (1 shared filing), David B. Jensen (1 shared filing) and 2 others.

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

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 3 court cases matching the name, 11 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 14 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 David Blann and found 3 differences: Form D filed 16 days after the first sale; No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open; 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

3 differences found between the filings for David Blann (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Jan 25, 2012 – Feb 10, 2012

Form D filed 16 days after the first sale — Argonaut Exploration Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Jan 25, 2012. The Form D was filed Feb 10, 2012 — 16 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 1 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.

Form D · Feb 10, 2012 ↗Argonaut Exploration Inc. — PartnerFacts page ↗
Sources
Note · Jan 25, 2012 – Feb 10, 2012

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Argonaut Exploration Inc. (latest filing Feb 10, 2012)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Feb 10, 2012 (first sale Jan 25, 2012). It reports $9,882 sold of $998,024 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.

Form D · Feb 10, 2012 ↗Argonaut Exploration Inc. — PartnerFacts page ↗
Sources
Note · Sep 14, 2015 – Sep 7, 2016

Same name, different state: "DAVID ELLIS BLANN" (A1) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is A0. A separate record, "DAVID ELLIS BLANN" with address state A1, is listed on 2 filings — most recently by Fox Tungsten Ltd. (Sep 7, 2016). The two records do not overlap in time: this page has one filing dated Feb 10, 2012; the other runs Sep 14, 2015 to Sep 7, 2016.

What this means Could be the same person who moved, or two people with the same name. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

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
