Data last updated Oct 23, 2026, 5:45 PM ET · Courts (RECAP) last checked: Oct 24, 2026, 2:36 AM ET · SEC enforcement last checked: covered by the index scan as of Oct 24, 2026, 2:50 AM ET

The short version

John E. Runnells is listed as an executive officer on 3 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between May 2016 and May 2019: Route 92 Medical, Inc. (West Jordan, UT — other health care — 2016–2019; $50.4M reported sold to 11 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 Jack Lasersohn (3 shared filings), Jonathan Root (3 shared filings), Tony Chou (3 shared filings) and Casper de Clercq (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.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 3 court cases matching the name, 5 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 8 records came back, including 2 court cases still open — open cases can take years and cost money. 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 E. Runnells and found 4 differences: No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open; Industry group changed between filings; 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 E. Runnells (compared 3 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Aug 15, 2018 – Aug 17, 2018

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Route 92 Medical, Inc. (latest filing Aug 17, 2018)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Aug 17, 2018 (first sale Aug 15, 2018). It reports $4,728,135 sold of $6,728,135 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 26, 2016 – Aug 17, 2018

Industry group changed between filings — Route 92 Medical, Inc.

"Biotechnology" (May 26, 2016); then "Other Health Care" (Aug 17, 2018 to May 10, 2019).

What this means The issuer described its business differently on different forms. Often it is just a different box ticked; sometimes the deal itself changed. Ask which business your money is in.

Sources
Note · Nov 18, 2011 – Sep 27, 2012

Same name, different state: "John Runnells" (NJ) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA. A separate record, "John Runnells" with address state NJ, is listed on 2 filings — most recently by FLEXUSPINE, INC (Sep 27, 2012). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs May 26, 2016 to May 10, 2019; the other runs Nov 18, 2011 to Sep 27, 2012.

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.

Same name, different state: "John Runnells" (MD) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA. A separate record, "John Runnells" with address state MD, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by BIOSURFACE ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGIES INC (May 10, 2011). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs May 26, 2016 to May 10, 2019; the other has one filing dated May 10, 2011.

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.
