The short version

John Morelli is listed as an executive officer and director on 2 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Nov 2022 and Jun 2025: ChargeStar, Inc. (Pensacola, FL — other technology — 2022–2025; $1.5M reported sold to 25 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, 14 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 15 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 2 public filings for John Morelli and found 6 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: Bankruptcy case: John J Morelli and Judith S Morelli; Form D filed 483 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

6 differences found between the filings for John Morelli — 2 worth asking about (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Apr 29, 2009 – Sep 9, 2009

Bankruptcy case: John J Morelli and Judith S Morelli — filed Apr 29, 2009

United States Bankruptcy Court, M.D. Florida docket "John J Morelli and Judith S Morelli" filed Apr 29, 2009, closed Sep 9, 2009. John Morelli is listed as Debtor ("John J Morelli and Judith S Morelli"). Our match estimate: 44%.

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.

Docket · United States Bankruptcy Court, M.D. Florida ↗
Sources
Worth asking · Jul 7, 2021 – Nov 2, 2022

Form D filed 483 days after the first sale — ChargeStar, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Jul 7, 2021. The Form D was filed Nov 2, 2022 — 483 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 468 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.

Note · Nov 2, 2022 – Jun 4, 2025

Offering amount changed between filings — ChargeStar, Inc.

The Nov 2, 2022 filing says $1,000,000 offered; the Jun 4, 2025 Form D/A says $1,500,000.

What this means The target raise changed. Raising the cap is common when a deal grows; ask whether the extra money has the same terms and use.

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

This page covers filings where the address state is FL. A separate record, "John Morelli" with address state NY, is listed on 2 filings — most recently by Hidden Lake Offshore Fund Ltd.

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.
