The short version

John Corso is listed as an executive officer and director on 3 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Nov 2009 and Jun 2015: Coastal Acquisition Corp (Savage, MD — industry reported as "Other" — 2009–2012; $20.1M reported sold to 7 investors) and COASTAL GROUP INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, LLC (Savage, MD — agriculture — 2015; $19.9M reported sold to 3 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 6 years. Across those companies the filings report $40M sold in total.

Listed alongside Ross Foca (3 shared filings), Bart A. Mclean (2 shared filings), Michael D. Long (2 shared filings), Peter S. Pettit (2 shared filings), Robert P. Lahmann (2 shared filings) and 2 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, 13 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 14 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 3 public filings for John Corso and found 5 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 109 days after the first sale; 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

5 differences found between the filings for John Corso — 1 worth asking about (compared 3 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Aug 13, 2009 – Nov 30, 2009

Form D filed 109 days after the first sale — Coastal Acquisition Corp

The filing says the first sale was Aug 13, 2009. The Form D was filed Nov 30, 2009 — 109 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 94 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.

Sources
Note · May 29, 2015 – Jun 16, 2015

Form D filed 18 days after the first sale — COASTAL GROUP INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, LLC

The filing says the first sale was May 29, 2015. The Form D was filed Jun 16, 2015 — 18 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 3 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.

Sources
Note · Aug 13, 2009 – Nov 30, 2009

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Coastal Acquisition Corp (latest filing Nov 30, 2009)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Nov 30, 2009 (first sale Aug 13, 2009). It reports $20,060,470 sold of $20,160,470 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
Note · May 9, 2018 – Jul 28, 2026

Same name, different state: "John Corso" (VA) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is MD. A separate record, "John Corso" with address state VA, is listed on 5 filings — most recently by MarginEdge Co. (Jul 28, 2026). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Nov 30, 2009 to Jun 16, 2015; the other runs May 9, 2018 to Jul 28, 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.

Sources
Note · Dec 16, 2014 – Jul 31, 2019

Same name, different state: "John A. Corso" (NY) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is MD. A separate record, "John A. Corso" with address state NY, is listed on 2 filings — most recently by Expedition Baikal LLC (Jul 31, 2019). Both records have filings in the same period (Dec 16, 2014 to Jun 16, 2015).

What this means Two records with one name were active at the same time. That can be one person listing different company addresses, or two different people. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

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.
