Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, 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 5 public filings for Hobbs E. Charles and found 2 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: Hobbs E. Charles is no longer listed on the Mar 17, 2015 amendment; Hobbs E. Charles is no longer listed on the Mar 17, 2014 amendment.

2 differences found between the filings for Hobbs E. Charles — 2 worth asking about (compared 5 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Mar 17, 2014 – Mar 17, 2015

Hobbs E. Charles is no longer listed on the Mar 17, 2015 amendment — Kriticos International Ltd

Hobbs E. Charles appears on the Mar 17, 2014 Form D/A (executive officer) but not on the Mar 17, 2015 Form D/A for the same offering.

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.
