(Boston, MA — industry reported as "Other" — 2023–2025; $50K reported sold to 1 investors).

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) — 6 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 6 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 Davis and found 8 differences: No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open; Same name, different state: "John S. Davis" (TX) 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

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

Note · Mar 6, 2025 – Mar 12, 2025

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Shift Group Holdings, Inc. (latest filing Mar 12, 2025)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Mar 12, 2025 (first sale Mar 6, 2025). It reports $50,000 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.

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.
