The short version

John B. Lane is listed as an executive officer and promoter on 8 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Apr 2009 and Mar 2016: JBL Diversified Fund I LLC (Elgin, SC — pooled investment fund — 2009–2016; $2.97M reported sold to 30 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.

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 (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 1 court case matching the name, 2 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 3 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 8 public filings for John B. Lane and found 12 differences, 3 worth asking the sponsor about: Amount sold went down between filings; Form D filed 2,178 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

12 differences found between the filings for John B. Lane — 3 worth asking about (compared 8 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · May 21, 2014 – Feb 27, 2015

Amount sold went down between filings — JBL Diversified Fund I LLC

The May 21, 2014 filing says $2,966,957 sold; the Feb 27, 2015 Form D/A says $2,718,498 sold — $248,459 less.

What this means Amounts sold normally only go up as a raise continues. A drop can mean investors were refunded, a figure was corrected, or an earlier number was wrong. Ask the sponsor which it was.

Sources
Note · Mar 5, 2010

13% of the money raised went to insiders — JBL Diversified Fund I LLC

The Mar 5, 2010 Form D reports $1,580,350 sold and $200,000 of the proceeds used for payments to officers, directors or promoters (marked as an estimate).

What this means The filing reports how much of the money raised was paid to insiders. Over 10% is high for most deals. Ask what it paid for.

Sources
Note · Apr 1, 2009

20% of the money raised went to insiders — JBL Diversified Fund I LLC

The Apr 1, 2009 Form D reports $1,000,350 sold and $200,000 of the proceeds used for payments to officers, directors or promoters (marked as an estimate).

What this means The filing reports how much of the money raised was paid to insiders. Over 10% is high for most deals. Ask what it paid for.

Sources
Note · Mar 1, 2016

John B. Lane appears on 1 deal that stopped filing before reaching its target

JBL Diversified Fund I LLC (last filing Mar 1, 2016; $2,966,957 sold of $10,000,000). Each has no filing in more than two years and reported under half its target sold.

What this means An issuer whose last filing is more than two years old and reported under half its target sold. The raise may have closed early or quietly stopped. Ask what happened to each.

Sources
Worth asking · Mar 18, 2004 – Mar 5, 2010

Form D filed 2,178 days after the first sale — JBL Diversified Fund I LLC

The filing says the first sale was Mar 18, 2004. The Form D was filed Mar 5, 2010 — 2,178 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 2,163 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
Worth asking · Mar 18, 2004 – Apr 1, 2009

Form D filed 1,840 days after the first sale — JBL Diversified Fund I LLC

The filing says the first sale was Mar 18, 2004. The Form D was filed Apr 1, 2009 — 1,840 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 1,825 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 · Mar 18, 2004 – Mar 1, 2016

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — JBL Diversified Fund I LLC (latest filing Mar 1, 2016)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Mar 1, 2016 (first sale Mar 18, 2004). It reports $2,718,498 sold of $10,000,000 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.

Sources
Note · Mar 5, 2012 – Mar 4, 2013

Minimum investment changed between filings — JBL Diversified Fund I LLC

The Mar 5, 2012 filing lists a minimum of $50,000; the Mar 4, 2013 Form D/A lists $25,000.

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

Sources
Note · Mar 5, 2010 – Mar 4, 2011

Minimum investment changed between filings — JBL Diversified Fund I LLC

The Mar 5, 2010 filing lists a minimum of $25,000; the Mar 4, 2011 Form D/A lists $50,000.

John B. Lane is written 2 different ways on the filings

listed as "John Lane" on the Apr 1, 2009 filing, and "John B. Lane" on 7 filings (from Mar 5, 2010).

What this means Same person, written differently — a middle name or suffix left off, or spelled another way. It is normal, but check that the full legal name matches your subscription documents.

Sources
Note · Dec 28, 2015 – Jan 2, 2026

Same name, different state: "John Lane" (CA or X0) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is SC. A separate record, "John Lane" with address state CA or X0, is listed on 18 filings — most recently by BCRE FIE SPE I LLC (Jan 2, 2026). Both records have filings in the same period (Dec 28, 2015 to Mar 1, 2016).

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.

Note · Jun 27, 2013 – Dec 11, 2014

Same name, different state: "John Lane" (NY) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is SC. A separate record, "John Lane" with address state NY, is listed on 28 filings — most recently by Apollo U.S. Real Estate Fund II L.P. (Dec 11, 2014). Both records have filings in the same period (Jun 27, 2013 to Dec 11, 2014).

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.

"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).
