Data last updated Oct 23, 2026, 5:45 PM ET · Courts (RECAP) last checked: Oct 24, 2026, 2:41 AM ET · SEC enforcement last checked: covered by the index scan as of Oct 24, 2026, 2:50 AM ET

The short version

David Wayne Sweaney is listed as an executive officer on 3 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between May 2018 and Feb 2019: Nanotech Engineering Inc. (Irvine, CA — other technology — 2018–2019; $3.68M reported sold to 140 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC. 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 court cases matching the name, 2 SEC releases, 4 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 9 records came back, including 1 court case still open — open cases can take years and cost money. 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 3 public filings for David Wayne Sweaney and found 8 differences, 4 worth asking the sponsor about: Paid seller listed without a CRD number: David Sweaney; Form D filed 453 days after the first sale; 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

8 differences found between the filings for David Wayne Sweaney — 4 worth asking about (compared 3 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · May 17, 2018 – Feb 11, 2019

Paid seller listed without a CRD number: David Sweaney — Nanotech Engineering Inc.

David Sweaney is listed as receiving sales compensation on 3 filings (May 17, 2018 to Feb 11, 2019) 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
Worth asking · Nov 15, 2017 – Feb 11, 2019

Form D filed 453 days after the first sale — Nanotech Engineering Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Nov 15, 2017. The Form D was filed Feb 11, 2019 — 453 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 438 days past that.

What this means The notice went in months after money was taken in. Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves, but it is fair to ask the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Worth asking · Nov 15, 2017 – Jun 14, 2018

Form D filed 211 days after the first sale — Nanotech Engineering Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Nov 15, 2017. The Form D was filed Jun 14, 2018 — 211 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 196 days past that.

What this means The notice went in months after money was taken in. Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves, but it is fair to ask the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Worth asking · Nov 15, 2017 – May 17, 2018

Form D filed 183 days after the first sale — Nanotech Engineering Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Nov 15, 2017. The Form D was filed May 17, 2018 — 183 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 168 days past that.

What this means The notice went in months after money was taken in. Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves, but it is fair to ask the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Note · Nov 15, 2017 – Feb 11, 2019

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Nanotech Engineering Inc. (latest filing Feb 11, 2019)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Feb 11, 2019 (first sale Nov 15, 2017). It reports $3,684,550 sold of $67,200,000 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 Jun 14, 2018 filing give Ivine, CA; on the Feb 11, 2019 filing they give Irvine, CA.

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

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.

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).
