The short version

John Leja is listed as a director on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Mar 2019: G&G Laboratories, Inc (Dover, DE — industry reported as "Other" — 2019; $2M reported sold to 1 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Mar 2019. 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 Michael Lui (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 (AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, LA, ME, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, NH, NM, OR, RI, TX, WA) — 2 court cases matching the name, 5 bankruptcy cases 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 Leja and found 4 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 62 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

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

Note · May 12, 2009 – Aug 19, 2009

Bankruptcy case: DFCU Financial Federal Credit Union v. Leja — filed May 12, 2009

United States Bankruptcy Court, E.D. Michigan docket "DFCU Financial Federal Credit Union v. Leja" filed May 12, 2009, closed Aug 19, 2009. John Leja is listed as Defendant ("Leja"). Our match estimate: 40%.

What this means A bankruptcy filing was found. Many are old or personal and have nothing to do with the deal — but ask what it was and when it closed.

Sources
Worth asking · Jan 25, 2019 – Mar 28, 2019

Form D filed 62 days after the first sale — G&G Laboratories, Inc

The filing says the first sale was Jan 25, 2019. The Form D was filed Mar 28, 2019 — 62 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 47 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 · Nov 21, 2018 – Dec 20, 2019

Same name, different state: "John Leja" (A1 or DE) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is A6. A separate record, "John Leja" with address state A1 or DE, is listed on 4 filings — most recently by iVIK Holdings Ltd. (Dec 20, 2019). Both records have filings in the same period (Mar 28, 2019).

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 · Oct 3, 2014

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

This page covers filings where the address state is A6. A separate record, "John A Leja" with address state IL, is listed on 2 filings — most recently by PharmaCann Inc. (Dec 28, 2015). The two records do not overlap in time: this page has one filing dated Mar 28, 2019; the other has one filing dated Oct 3, 2014.

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.

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

"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.
