The short version

John Ormiston is listed as a director on 3 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Aug 2022 and Oct 2022: Three Chord Bourbon, Inc. (Clarence, NY — industry reported as "Other" — 2022; $4.53M reported sold to 68 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Oct 2022. 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 Anthony Nanula (3 shared filings), Douglas Davenport (3 shared filings), Neil Giraldo (3 shared filings), Paul Nanula (3 shared filings) and Steven Nanula (3 shared filings).

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.

The issuer belongs to the sponsor group Group linked by Nicholas Sinatra (32 issuers, $101.8M reported sold, 2014–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Group linked by Nicholas Sinatra has 32 companies on file and $101.8M 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) — 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 3 public filings for John Ormiston and found 2 differences: Form D filed 24 days after the first sale; No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open.

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 Ormiston (compared 3 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Jul 15, 2022 – Aug 8, 2022

Form D filed 24 days after the first sale — Three Chord Bourbon, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Jul 15, 2022. The Form D was filed Aug 8, 2022 — 24 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 9 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 15, 2022 – Oct 24, 2022

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Three Chord Bourbon, Inc. (latest filing Oct 24, 2022)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Oct 24, 2022 (first sale Jul 15, 2022). It reports $4,528,400 sold of $15,000,000 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
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

1 of 1 offering reports sales commissions totalling $2,500; 0 report finder's fees; 0 report proceeds to related persons.

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).
