The short version

John Farahi is listed as an executive officer and director on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Jul 2009: NEWPOINT FINANCIAL SERVICES INC (Beverly Hills, CA — other banking and financial services — 2009; $5.13M reported sold to 30 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Jul 2009. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment — it is a notice, not an approval.

No other person or management entity is listed on the same filings.

What this means The filings name this person alone — no co-officers, directors or promoters were listed.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 5 court cases matching the name, 1 SEC release, 1 bankruptcy case matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 7 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 1 public filing for John Farahi and found 2 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 259 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

2 differences found between the filings for John Farahi — 1 worth asking about (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Oct 30, 2008 – Jul 16, 2009

Form D filed 259 days after the first sale — NEWPOINT FINANCIAL SERVICES INC

The filing says the first sale was Oct 30, 2008. The Form D was filed Jul 16, 2009 — 259 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 244 days past that.

What this means The notice went in months after money was taken in. Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves, but it is fair to ask the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Sources
Note · Oct 30, 2008 – Jul 16, 2009

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — NEWPOINT FINANCIAL SERVICES INC (latest filing Jul 16, 2009)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jul 16, 2009 (first sale Oct 30, 2008). It reports $5,132,893 sold of an indefinite amount 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
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

None reported on 1 offering — no sales commissions, finder's fees or proceeds to insiders
