Data last updated Oct 23, 2026, 5:45 PM ET · Courts (RECAP) last checked: Oct 24, 2026, 2:43 AM ET · SEC enforcement last checked: covered by the index scan as of Oct 24, 2026, 2:50 AM ET

The short version

Dean E. Westman is listed as a director on 10 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Jan 2019 and Aug 2026: BUCKEYE CORRUGATED, INC. (Fairlawn, OH — manufacturing — 2019–2026; $7.88M reported sold to 130 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.

Listed alongside Douglas A. Bosnik (10 shared filings), Gordon K. Opitz (10 shared filings), Jon R. McGurk (10 shared filings), Mark Husted (10 shared filings), Thomas Haught (10 shared filings) and 12 others.

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

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, LA, ME, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, NH, NM, OR, RI, TX, WA) — 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 10 public filings for Dean E. Westman and found 5 differences: Bankruptcy case: Thomas A Haught; Bankruptcy case: Breyfogle v. Trayer Products, Inc; 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

5 differences found between the filings for Dean E. Westman (compared 10 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Apr 23, 2003 – Apr 21, 2004

Bankruptcy case: Thomas A Haught — filed Apr 23, 2003

United States Bankruptcy Court, N.D. Ohio docket "Thomas A Haught" filed Apr 23, 2003, closed Apr 21, 2004. Thomas Haught (listed on the same filings) is listed as Debtor ("Thomas A Haught"). Our match estimate: 70%.

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.

Sources
Note · Apr 24, 1992 – Oct 19, 1992

Bankruptcy case: Breyfogle v. Trayer Products, Inc. — filed Apr 24, 1992

United States Bankruptcy Court, N.D. Ohio docket "Breyfogle v. Trayer Products, Inc." filed Apr 24, 1992, closed Oct 19, 1992. Scott A Trayer (listed on the same filings) is listed as Defendant ("Trayer Products, Inc."). Our match estimate: 70%.

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.

Sources
Note · Dec 26, 2018 – Jan 29, 2019

Form D filed 34 days after the first sale — BUCKEYE CORRUGATED, INC.

The filing says the first sale was Dec 26, 2018. The Form D was filed Jan 29, 2019 — 34 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 19 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.

Sources
Note · Dec 26, 2018 – Aug 25, 2025

6 offerings have no amendment in the last 12 months and may still be open

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — BUCKEYE CORRUGATED, INC.

(latest filing Aug 30, 2024) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — BUCKEYE CORRUGATED, INC.

(latest filing Aug 26, 2022) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — BUCKEYE CORRUGATED, INC. (latest filing Jul 6, 2022) · and 1 more

What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. Ask the sponsor which of these raises have closed.

Sources
Note · Jan 29, 2019 – Jul 6, 2022

Dean E. Westman is written 2 different ways on the filings

listed as "Dean E. Westman" on 8 filings (from Jan 29, 2019), and "Dean Westman" on 2 filings (from Jul 6, 2022).

What this means Same person, written differently — a middle name or suffix left off, or spelled another way. It is normal, but check that the full legal name matches your subscription documents.

Sources
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

"Paid to sell it" = sales compensation recipients named on that filing (Item 12), each linked to FINRA BrokerCheck when a CRD number is reported.
