The short version

John Eric Barnes is listed as an executive officer and director on 6 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Apr 2010 and Jul 2022: KOR WATER, INC. (Irvine, CA — industry reported as "Other" — 2010–2022; $2M reported sold to 2 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 Paul Shustak (5 shared filings), HOK YIN WAN (1 shared filing), Peter Van Stolk (1 shared filing), ROBERT KRANE (1 shared filing), Raji Sawhney (1 shared filing) and 1 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) — 2 court cases matching the name, 34 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 36 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 6 public filings for John Eric Barnes and found 9 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 77 days after the first sale; Form D filed 86 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

9 differences found between the filings for John Eric Barnes — 2 worth asking about (compared 6 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Nov 13, 2013 – Jan 29, 2014

Form D filed 77 days after the first sale — KOR WATER, INC.

The filing says the first sale was Nov 13, 2013. The Form D was filed Jan 29, 2014 — 77 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 62 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
Worth asking · Feb 1, 2010 – Apr 28, 2010

Form D filed 86 days after the first sale — KOR WATER, INC.

The filing says the first sale was Feb 1, 2010. The Form D was filed Apr 28, 2010 — 86 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 71 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 · Jul 28, 2017 – Jul 18, 2022

John Eric Barnes's role changed at KOR WATER, INC.: executive officer, director → director

The Jul 28, 2017 filing lists John Eric Barnes as executive officer, director; the Jul 18, 2022 Form D/A lists director.

What this means Roles on Form D are self-reported by the issuer. A change can mean a real change in who runs the company, or just a different box ticked. Ask who makes decisions today.

Sources
Note · Feb 1, 2010 – Apr 28, 2010

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — KOR WATER, INC. (latest filing Apr 28, 2010)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Apr 28, 2010 (first sale Feb 1, 2010). It reports $75,000 sold of $1,500,000 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.

Sources
Note · Oct 29, 2008 – Dec 13, 2010

Same name, different state: "John Barnes" (IL) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA or NJ. A separate record, "John Barnes" with address state IL, is listed on 2 filings — most recently by Model Metrics, Inc. (Dec 13, 2010). Both records have filings in the same period (Apr 28, 2010 to Dec 13, 2010).

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
Note · Jul 28, 2017 – Jul 18, 2022

Address moved from Aliso Viejo, CA to Dumont, NJ — KOR WATER, INC.

The people listed on the Jul 28, 2017 filing give Aliso Viejo, CA; on the Jul 18, 2022 filing they give Dumont, NJ.

What this means Businesses move; this just shows the two places and dates. If you were told one city and the forms say another, ask which is current.

The people listed on the Apr 28, 2010 filing give Fountain Valley, CA; on the Jan 29, 2014 filing they give Aliso Viejo, CA.

What this means Businesses move; this just shows the two places and dates. If you were told one city and the forms say another, ask which is current.

Note · Apr 28, 2010 – Jul 18, 2022

John Eric Barnes is listed with 2 different address states: CA, NJ

CA on 5 filings (Apr 28, 2010 to Jul 28, 2017); NJ on 1 filing (Jul 18, 2022).

What this means The address on a Form D is usually the company's, not the person's home, so this often just reflects different companies. It can also mean a move. Nothing wrong by itself.

Note · Jul 28, 2017 – Jul 18, 2022

Minimum investment changed between filings — KOR WATER, INC.

The Jul 28, 2017 filing lists a minimum of $2,000,000; the Jul 18, 2022 Form D/A lists $0.

What this means A different minimum usually means the offering terms changed. Check which terms apply to you.

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.

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).
