The short version

John Bilinski is listed as an executive officer on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Mar 2020: Tipperary Hill Apartments, LLC (Rochester, NY — commercial — 2020; $969K reported sold to 14 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Mar 2020. 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 Gary Van Bortel (1 shared filing).

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 Tipperary (2 issuers, $2.02M reported sold, 2020–2023).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Tipperary has 2 companies on file and $2.02M 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 (AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, LA, ME, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, NH, NM, OR, RI, TX, WA) — 5 court cases matching the name, 8 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 13 records came back, including 1 court case still open — open cases can take years and cost money. 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 1 public filing for John Bilinski and found 2 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Bankruptcy case: John Bilinski, Jr; 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

2 differences found between the filings for John Bilinski — 1 worth asking about (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Jan 29, 2004 – May 11, 2004

Bankruptcy case: John Bilinski, Jr. — filed Jan 29, 2004

United States Bankruptcy Court, N.D. New York docket "John Bilinski, Jr." filed Jan 29, 2004, closed May 11, 2004. John Bilinski is listed as Debtor ("John Bilinski, Jr."). Our match estimate: 69%.

What this means A bankruptcy filing was found. Many are old or personal and have nothing to do with the deal — but ask what it was and when it closed.

Sources
Note · Feb 28, 2020 – Mar 13, 2020

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Tipperary Hill Apartments, LLC (latest filing Mar 13, 2020)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Mar 13, 2020 (first sale Feb 28, 2020). It reports $969,495 sold of $1,050,000 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

0 of 1 offering report sales commissions; 0 report finder's fees; 1 reports proceeds to related persons totalling $10,500. (includes amounts the issuer reported as estimates)

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).
