The short version

John McCleery is listed as a director on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Aug 2010: Creston Moly Corp. (Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada (as filed: A1) — industry reported as "Other" — 2010; $1.37M reported sold to 4 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Aug 2010. 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 Brenda Nowak (1 shared filing), COLIN K BENNER (1 shared filing), Donald Bruce McLeod (1 shared filing), John Robins (1 shared filing), Michael Gunning (1 shared filing) and 3 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.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 9 court cases matching the name, 4 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 13 records came back, including 2 court cases 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 1 public filing for John McCleery and found 2 differences: Form D filed 23 days after the first sale; Same name, different state: "JOHN MCCLEERY" (C8) 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 McCleery (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Jul 28, 2010 – Aug 20, 2010

Form D filed 23 days after the first sale — Creston Moly Corp.

The filing says the first sale was Jul 28, 2010. The Form D was filed Aug 20, 2010 — 23 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 8 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 · Jul 29, 2011

Same name, different state: "JOHN MCCLEERY" (C8) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is A1. A separate record, "JOHN MCCLEERY" with address state C8, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by TRIMEL BIOPHARMA HOLDINGS INC. (Jul 29, 2011). The two records do not overlap in time: this page has one filing dated Aug 20, 2010; the other has one filing dated Jul 29, 2011.

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

0 of 1 offering report sales commissions; 0 report finder's fees; 1 reports proceeds to related persons totalling $1,366,200. (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).
