The short version

John Adams is listed as an executive officer and director on 2 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Mar 2010 and Apr 2015: Prairie Gold, Inc. (Bloomington, IL — other technology — 2015; $3.8M reported sold to 42 investors) and Toodalu LLC (Chicago, IL — other technology — 2010; $250K reported sold to 7 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 5 years. Across those companies the filings report $4.05M sold in total.

Listed alongside Floyd Shultz (1 shared filing), James Rapp (1 shared filing), Philip Shane (1 shared filing), Robert Todd O'Hara (1 shared filing), Roger Hubele (1 shared filing) and 1 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.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, DE, FINRA, FL, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 21 SEC releases, 17 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 38 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 2 public filings for John Adams and found 11 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: Regulator action: U.S. Reservation Bank & Trust, Higher Investment Technologies, Inc., Global-Link Capital Markets, L.L.C., Edward J. Driving Hawk, Sr., Leo Driving Hawk, Sr., John M. Adams, Edmund J. Smedley, Kenneth S. Harrison, William J. Herisko, Thomas T. Emerton, Defendants, and Oyate Development, Inc., Oyate Enterprises, L.L.P., Oyate Trust, River Walk Development, L.L.C., Ringthunder Racing Stables, Inc., HPHC, Inc., James R. Driving Hawk, Orpha Jane Johnston, Relief Defendants (Apr 5, 2002); John Adams is no longer listed on the Mar 4, 2011 amendment; 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.

Toodalu LLC (last filing Mar 4, 2011; $250,000 sold of $1,200,000). Each has no filing in more than two years and reported under half its target sold.

What this means An issuer whose last filing is more than two years old and reported under half its target sold. The raise may have closed early or quietly stopped. Ask what happened to each.

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Prairie Gold, Inc. (latest filing Apr 29, 2015)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Apr 29, 2015 (first sale Apr 15, 2015). It reports $3,800,000 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.

John Adams is no longer listed on the Mar 4, 2011 amendment — Toodalu LLC

John Adams appears on the Mar 8, 2010 Form D (executive officer) but not on the Mar 4, 2011 Form D/A for the same offering.

What this means People leave, and the issuer must list only current officers, directors and promoters. It is still worth asking why this person left and who replaced them.

Offering amount changed between filings — Toodalu LLC

The Mar 8, 2010 filing says $500,000 offered; the Mar 4, 2011 Form D/A says $1,200,000.

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.

Reported revenue range changed between filings — Toodalu LLC

"No Revenues" (Mar 8, 2010); then "Decline to Disclose" (Mar 4, 2011).

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.

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.

"Paid to sell it" = sales compensation recipients named on that filing (Item 12), each linked to FINRA BrokerCheck when a CRD number is reported.

Registrations and other filings

Business registration (state registry / Secretary of State)

Individuals are not matched to business registrations — registries list companies, and a name alone is not enough to tie a person to one. Officers and managers appear by name inside each matched company's record on the issuer pages. Registries searched: AL (Alabama Secretary of State — Business Entity Records (arc-sos.state.al.us), searched by issuer name, data as of Oct 24, 2026); CO (Colorado Secretary of State — Business Entities in Colorado (data.colorado.gov), data as of Oct 23, 2026); CT (Connecticut Secretary of the State — Business Registry (data.ct.gov), data as of Oct 24, 2026); FL (Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations — quarterly corporate data file (Sunbiz), data as of Oct 7, 2026); NY (New York Department of State — Corporations and Other Entities (data.ny.gov: All Filings + Active Corporations), data as of Oct 20, 2026); OR (Oregon Secretary of State — Active Businesses, All (data.oregon.gov), data as of Oct 20, 2026); PA (Pennsylvania Department of State — Registered Businesses, Current (data.pa.gov), data as of Oct 6, 2026); TX (Texas Comptroller — Active Franchise Taxpayers incl. Secretary of State file data (data.texas.gov), data as of Oct 24, 2026). Registries of other states have not been searched: many publish no bulk file and require a CAPTCHA or bot challenge on their search page, which we do not bypass (Delaware, for example, offers no public bulk file).

Adviser registration (Form ADV)

None of the 2 issuers this person is listed on appears in Form ADV (searched 24,962 advisers as of Oct 2, 2026). A person is never an adviser firm; Form ADV is checked for the issuers and the management companies they are listed with.

Other offering types (Regulation A and Regulation Crowdfunding)

Searched SEC Regulation A Data Sets (Forms 1-A, 1-K, 1-Z; 2015 Q2 → 2026 Q3); SEC Crowdfunding Offerings Data Sets (Form C family; 2016 Q2 → 2026 Q3); EDGAR form index for 2026 Q3 → 2026 Q4 (51,358 records as of Oct 23, 2026, 8:41 PM ET) — nothing matched this name.

Property records none — individuals are not matched

Property records are matched to companies only, never to individuals, so none are matched to John Adams by design. Searched property records in Hillsborough County FL (Clerk recorded-document index Oct 14, 2026 to Oct 15, 2026 + FL DOR 2026 ownership roll), Miami-Dade County FL (FL DOR 2026 ownership roll), Harris County TX (HCAD 2026 ownership roll), Dallas County TX (DCAD 2026 ownership roll), New York City ACRIS documents and PLUTO ownership rows already retrieved for other issuers, Cook County IL sale and ownership rows already retrieved for other issuers (814,874 records as of Oct 23, 2026, 8:59 PM ET) for the 2 issuers this person is listed on — nothing matched.
