The short version

John A. Pollock is listed as a director on 3 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Feb 2010 and Jun 2011: Premier Gold Mines Ltd (Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada (as filed: A6) — industry reported as "Other" — 2010–2011; $24M reported sold to 60 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 Ewan S. Downie (3 shared filings), Henry J. Knowles (3 shared filings), John Begeman (3 shared filings), John Seaman (3 shared filings), Stephen McGibbon (3 shared filings) and 7 others.

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

The issuer belongs to the sponsor group Premier (2 issuers, $5.14M reported sold, 2010–2020).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Premier has 2 companies on file and $5.14M 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 (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 John A. Pollock and found 3 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: 4 paid sellers are listed without a CRD number; 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.

Same name, different state: "John Pollock" (TX) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is A6. A separate record, "John Pollock" with address state TX, is listed on 12 filings — most recently by Financial Gravity Companies, Inc. (Jan 13, 2026). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Feb 10, 2010 to Jun 30, 2011; the other runs Dec 16, 2014 to Jan 13, 2026.

What this means Could be the same person who moved, or two people with the same name. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

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).
