8 differences found between the filings for David Scheinberg (compared 3 filings on Oct 24, 2026)
United States Bankruptcy Court, S.D. New York docket "Robert C. Nowinski" filed Oct 25, 2002, closed Sep 14, 2011. Robert C. Nowinski (listed on the same filings) is listed as Debtor ("Robert C. Nowinski"). Our match estimate: 80%.
What this means A bankruptcy filing was found. Many are old or personal and have nothing to do with the deal — but ask what it was and when it closed.
By role: plaintiff in 2, defendant in 1. Newest: "Scheinberg v. Story Terrace Inc" (District Court, D. Puerto Rico, Dec 9, 2024); "Scheinberg v. Seaberg Company, Inc.et al" (District Court, D. Oregon, Apr 24, 2018); "First Fidelity Bank v. Scheinberg" (District Court, S.D. New York, Feb 21, 1991). 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.
Sapience Therapeutics, Inc. (last filing Jul 13, 2020; $8,010,876 sold of $30,000,000). 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.
The filing says the first sale was Aug 6, 2010. The Form D was filed Aug 23, 2010 — 17 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 2 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.
The latest filing for this offering is dated Jul 13, 2020 (first sale Jun 29, 2020). It reports $8,010,876 sold of $30,000,000 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.
The latest filing for this offering is dated Sep 15, 2011 (first sale Aug 31, 2011). It reports $12,502,905 sold of $25,000,000 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.
The latest filing for this offering is dated Aug 23, 2010 (first sale Aug 6, 2010). It reports $4,326,603 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.
The people listed on the Aug 23, 2010 filing give New York, NY; on the Sep 15, 2011 filing they give Yonkers, NY.
What this means Businesses move; this just shows the two places and dates. If you were told one city and the forms say another, ask which is current.
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.
