The short version

Frank Roberson is listed as an executive officer and director on 3 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Oct 2025 and Oct 2026: Black Rhino Companies, Inc. (Mansfield, TX — industry reported as "Other" — 2025–2026; $280K reported sold to 18 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 Michael Barbero (3 shared filings) and Paul Fulks (3 shared filings).

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Frank. 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) — 10 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 10 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 3 public filings for Frank Roberson and found 4 differences, 3 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 159 days after the first sale; Form D filed 435 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

4 differences found between the filings for Frank Roberson — 3 worth asking about (compared 3 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · May 3, 2026 – Oct 9, 2026

Form D filed 159 days after the first sale — Black Rhino Companies, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was May 3, 2026. The Form D was filed Oct 9, 2026 — 159 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 144 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
Worth asking · Jul 31, 2025 – Oct 9, 2026

Form D filed 435 days after the first sale — Black Rhino Companies, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Jul 31, 2025. The Form D was filed Oct 9, 2026 — 435 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 420 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.

Sources
Worth asking · May 14, 2025 – Oct 3, 2025

Form D filed 142 days after the first sale — Black Rhino Companies, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was May 14, 2025. The Form D was filed Oct 3, 2025 — 142 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 127 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 · May 14, 2025 – Oct 3, 2025

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Black Rhino Companies, Inc. (latest filing Oct 3, 2025)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Oct 3, 2025 (first sale May 14, 2025). It reports $100,000 sold of $1,500,000 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
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

None reported on 3 offerings — no sales commissions, finder's fees or proceeds to insiders

"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.
