The short version

John Matthews is listed as an executive officer and director on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Mar 2021: Digital Carpenters Mining LLC (Atlanta, GA — other technology — 2021; $3.5M reported sold to 30 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Mar 2021. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment — it is a notice, not an approval.

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 (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) — 3 SEC releases, 5 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 8 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 Matthews and found 8 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: Regulator action: John Wayne Zidar, John Wesley Matthews and Elizabeth Anne Phillips, in their personal capacities and doing business as Oakleaf International, Rosewood International and Meliorations Management Teem (Jun 19, 2000); Regulator action: John Wayne Zidar, John Wesley Matthews and Elizabeth Anne Phillips, in their personal capacities and doing business as Oakleaf International, Rosewood International and Meliorations Management Teem (May 10, 2000); 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.
