The short version

Jeff Shapiro is listed as an executive officer, director, and promoter on 6 SEC Form D filings by 5 issuers between Jun 2010 and Nov 2017: Real Urban Barbeque V.H., LLC (Highland Park, IL — restaurants — 2012; $705K reported sold to 15 investors), Real Urban Barbeque Oak., LLC (Buffalo Grove, IL — restaurants — 2014; $403K reported sold to 10 investors), Real Urban Barbeque Skokie, LLC (Buffalo Grove, IL — restaurants — 2017; $245K reported sold to 6 investors), Real Urban Barbeque HP, LLC (Highland Park, IL — restaurants — 2010; $166K reported sold to 8 investors) and Crypto Digital Holdings, LP (Chicago, IL — pooled investment fund — 2017).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 5 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, director, and promoter, over about 7 years. Across those companies the filings report $1.52M sold in total.

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.

2 of the issuers belong to the sponsor group Real Urban Barbeque (2 issuers, $648K reported sold, 2014–2017).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Real Urban Barbeque has 2 companies on file and $648K reported sold in total — the group page shows the whole track record in one place.

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 6 public filings for Jeff Shapiro and found 8 differences, 3 worth asking the sponsor about: Bankruptcy case: Jeff Shapiro and Sharon Shapiro; Jeff Shapiro appears on 3 deals that stopped filing before reaching their target; 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.

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).
