The short version

John Lupien is listed as an executive officer on 3 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Feb 2015 and Jul 2017: BastCore LLC (Omaha, NE — manufacturing — 2015–2017; $270K reported sold to 6 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.

The issuer belongs to the sponsor group Bastcore (2 issuers, $2.74M reported sold, 2015–2021).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Bastcore has 2 companies on file and $2.74M 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) — 4 court cases matching the name, 3 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 7 records came back, including 1 court case still open — open cases can take years and cost money. 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 3 public filings for John Lupien and found 3 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 159 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

3 differences found between the filings for John Lupien — 1 worth asking about (compared 3 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Jan 29, 2017 – Jul 7, 2017

Form D filed 159 days after the first sale — BastCore LLC

The filing says the first sale was Jan 29, 2017. The Form D was filed Jul 7, 2017 — 159 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 144 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 · Jan 29, 2017 – Jul 7, 2017

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — BastCore LLC (latest filing Jul 7, 2017)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jul 7, 2017 (first sale Jan 29, 2017). It reports $270,000 sold of $450,000 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 · Feb 3, 2016 – Jul 7, 2017

Address moved from Omaha, NE to Plattsmouth, NE — BastCore LLC

The people listed on the Feb 3, 2016 filing give Omaha, NE; on the Jul 7, 2017 filing they give Plattsmouth, NE.

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.

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 3 offerings — no sales commissions, finder's fees or proceeds to insiders

"Paid to sell it" = sales compensation recipients named on that filing (Item 12), each linked to FINRA BrokerCheck when a CRD number is reported.
