The short version

John Bowen is listed as an executive officer and promoter on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Mar 2026: Forum on Fulshear Bend Investors, LLC (Fulshear, TX — commercial — 2026; $1.63M reported sold to 14 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Mar 2026. 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 JNS Management Group, LLC (1 shared filing, management entity) and Steven Reichardt (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 Surface (4 issuers, $5.83M reported sold, 2013–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Surface has 4 companies on file and $5.83M 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) — 4 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 4 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 1 public filing for John Bowen and found 4 differences: Form D filed 43 days after the first sale; Same name, different state: "JOHN BOWEN" (MI) is a separate record; 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

4 differences found between the filings for John Bowen (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Feb 10, 2026 – Mar 25, 2026

Form D filed 43 days after the first sale — Forum on Fulshear Bend Investors, LLC

The filing says the first sale was Feb 10, 2026. The Form D was filed Mar 25, 2026 — 43 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 28 days past that.

What this means A late notice is common and carries no penalty by itself. It is worth asking the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

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).
