The short version

Denis Patrick Ring is listed as an executive officer and director on 4 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Mar 2015 and Sep 2020: OCHO Candy, Inc. (Oakland, CA — manufacturing — 2015–2020; $5.51M reported sold to 29 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 William Scott Kucirek (4 shared filings), Steven Read (3 shared filings), Brian Camastral (1 shared filing), Caitlin Landesberg (1 shared filing) and Linda Graebner (1 shared filing).

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Denis. 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) — 1 bankruptcy case matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 1 record 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 4 public filings for Denis Patrick Ring and found 8 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: Paid seller listed without a CRD number: Carlos Garcia-Ordonez Arminan; Paid seller listed without a CRD number: GONLIZ INVESTMENTS CORP; 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 Denis Patrick Ring — 2 worth asking about (compared 4 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Sep 10, 2020

Paid seller listed without a CRD number: Carlos Garcia-Ordonez Arminan — OCHO Candy, Inc.

Carlos Garcia-Ordonez Arminan is listed as receiving sales compensation on 1 filing (Sep 10, 2020) 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 · Sep 10, 2020

Paid seller listed without a CRD number: GONLIZ INVESTMENTS CORP — OCHO Candy, Inc.

GONLIZ INVESTMENTS CORP is listed as receiving sales compensation on 1 filing (Sep 10, 2020) 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
Note · Feb 8, 2019 – Feb 26, 2019

Form D filed 18 days after the first sale — OCHO Candy, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Feb 8, 2019. The Form D was filed Feb 26, 2019 — 18 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 3 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 · Mar 16, 2015 – Mar 30, 2015

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — OCHO Candy, Inc. (latest filing Mar 30, 2015)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Mar 30, 2015 (first sale Mar 16, 2015). It reports $2,250,000 sold of $4,000,000 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.

Sources
Note · Jun 21, 2019 – Sep 10, 2020

Denis Patrick Ring's role changed at OCHO Candy, Inc.: executive officer, director → director

The Jun 21, 2019 filing lists Denis Patrick Ring as executive officer, director; the Sep 10, 2020 Form D lists director.

What this means Roles on Form D are self-reported by the issuer. A change can mean a real change in who runs the company, or just a different box ticked. Ask who makes decisions today.

Sources
Note · Feb 26, 2019 – Jun 21, 2019

Offering amount changed between filings — OCHO Candy, Inc.

The Feb 26, 2019 filing says $3,304,752 offered; the Jun 21, 2019 Form D/A says $5,511,992.

What this means The target raise changed. Raising the cap is common when a deal grows; ask whether the extra money has the same terms and use.

Sources
Note · Mar 30, 2015 – Feb 26, 2019

Reported revenue range changed between filings — OCHO Candy, Inc.

"$1,000,001 - $5,000,000" (Mar 30, 2015); then "Decline to Disclose" (Feb 26, 2019).

What this means This is the size band the issuer picks for itself on the form. A change can mean the business grew or shrank — or that it chose not to say. Ask for current numbers.

Sources
Note · Mar 30, 2015

Formed in 2018 per the latest filing, but activity is dated 2015 — OCHO Candy, Inc.

The issuer's latest filing says it was formed in 2018. The Mar 30, 2015 filing says the first sale was Mar 16, 2015 — before that year.

What this means A company cannot sell before it exists, so one of the two dates is likely a typo on the form. Ask the sponsor for the formation document.

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.

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).
