The short version

John Tate is listed as an executive officer and director on 2 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Feb 2010 and Aug 2011: Kastan Mining PLC (Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, United Republic of (as filed: W0) — industry reported as "Other" — 2010–2011; $1.4M reported sold to 14 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 George C. Gaines, Jr. (2 shared filings).

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 SEC release, 3 state regulator orders 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 2 public filings for John Tate and found 3 differences: No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open; Same name, different state: "John Allen Tate" (OH) 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

3 differences found between the filings for John Tate (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Aug 4, 2011 – Aug 15, 2011

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Kastan Mining PLC (latest filing Aug 15, 2011)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Aug 15, 2011 (first sale Aug 4, 2011). It reports $1,200,000 sold of $2,000,000 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.

Note · May 11, 2026

Same name, different state: "John Allen Tate" (OH) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is W0. A separate record, "John Allen Tate" with address state OH, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by Task Force VA, Inc. (May 11, 2026). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Feb 10, 2010 to Aug 15, 2011; the other has one filing dated May 11, 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.

5. Money to insiders
