The short version

John Huff is listed as a director on 4 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between Mar 2012 and Mar 2022: Pelican Energy Partners LP (Houston, TX — pooled investment fund — 2012; $103.6M reported sold to 85 investors), Saranas Inc. (Houston, TX — industry reported as "Other" — 2020; $15.5M reported sold to 65 investors) and Drylet, Inc. (Houston, TX — other technology — 2020–2022; $2.83M reported sold to 24 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 3 separate companies raised money with this person listed as director, over about 10 years. Across those companies the filings report $121.9M sold in total.

Listed alongside JOSEPH BEAL (2 shared filings), MALCOLM KINNAIRD (2 shared filings), T. JAY COLLINS (2 shared filings), Trevor Turbidy (2 shared filings), Daniel Hawkins (1 shared filing) and 12 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.

1 of the issuers belongs to the sponsor group Pelican Energy (9 issuers, $943.6M reported sold, 2012–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Pelican Energy has 9 companies on file and $943.6M reported sold in total — the group page shows the whole track record in one place.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 2 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 2 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 4 public filings for John Huff and found 2 differences: 4 offerings have no amendment in the last 12 months and may still be open; Same name, different state: "John Huff" (GA) is a separate record.

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 Huff (compared 4 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Feb 29, 2012 – Mar 25, 2022

4 offerings have no amendment in the last 12 months and may still be open

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Drylet, Inc. (latest filing Mar 25, 2022) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Drylet, Inc. (latest filing Nov 6, 2020) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Saranas Inc. (latest filing May 12, 2020) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Pelican Energy Partners LP (latest filing Mar 14, 2012)

What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. Ask the sponsor which of these raises have closed.

Sources
Note · Apr 30, 2018 – Apr 22, 2026

Same name, different state: "John Huff" (GA) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is TX. A separate record, "John Huff" with address state GA, is listed on 10 filings — most recently by PIEDMONT PARTNERS, LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (Apr 22, 2026). Both records have filings in the same period (Apr 30, 2018 to Mar 25, 2022).

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.

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

0 of 4 offerings report sales commissions; 0 report finder's fees; 1 reports proceeds to related persons totalling $250,000. (includes amounts the issuer reported as estimates)

How this is counted

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).
