The short version

John C. Canning is listed as an executive officer on 2 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Jul 2024 and Aug 2024: Infinite Reality, Inc. (Boca Raton, FL — other technology — 2024; $3.36B reported sold to 300 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Aug 2024. 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 Amish Shah (2 shared filings), Clark Callander (2 shared filings), Elliott Jobe (2 shared filings), Greg Fell (2 shared filings), Jennifer Pepin (2 shared filings) and 3 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 (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 1 court case matching the name, 7 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 8 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 C. Canning and found 2 differences: Same name, different state: "John Canning" (PA) is a separate record; Same name, different state: "John Canning" (NY) is a separate record.

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.

2 differences found between the filings for John C. Canning (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Jan 12, 2016

Same name, different state: "John Canning" (PA) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CT. A separate record, "John Canning" with address state PA, is listed on 2 filings — most recently by CENTENNIAL GLOBAL MACRO FUND LP (Jan 12, 2016). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Jul 9, 2024 to Aug 1, 2024; the other has one filing dated Jan 12, 2016.

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).
