The short version

John Pinelli is listed as an executive officer and director on 4 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Jun 2020 and Jul 2022: Punch'd Energy Inc (Melbourne, FL — industry reported as "Other" — 2020–2022; $1.15M reported sold to 12 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 (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 6 court cases matching the name, 3 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 9 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 4 public filings for John Pinelli and found 6 differences: Form D filed 16 days after the first sale; Offering amount changed between filings; 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 Pinelli (compared 4 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Jun 15, 2022 – Jul 1, 2022

Form D filed 16 days after the first sale — Punch'd Energy Inc

The filing says the first sale was Jun 15, 2022. The Form D was filed Jul 1, 2022 — 16 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 1 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 1, 2022 – Jul 5, 2022

Offering amount changed between filings — Punch'd Energy Inc

The Jul 1, 2022 filing says $1,100,000 offered; the Jul 5, 2022 Form D/A says $1,150,000.

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.

Sources
Note · Jun 10, 2020 – Jul 7, 2020

Offering amount changed between filings — Punch'd Energy Inc

The Jun 10, 2020 filing says $250,000 offered; the Jul 7, 2020 Form D/A says $650,000.

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.

Sources
Note · Jun 5, 2020 – Jul 7, 2020

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Punch'd Energy Inc (latest filing Jul 7, 2020)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jul 7, 2020 (first sale Jun 5, 2020). It reports $425,000 sold of $650,000 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 · Jun 10, 2020 – Jul 7, 2020

Address moved from Melbourne, WA to Melbourne, FL — Punch'd Energy Inc

The people listed on the Jun 10, 2020 filing give Melbourne, WA; on the Jul 7, 2020 filing they give Melbourne, FL.

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
Note · Jun 10, 2020 – Jul 5, 2022

John Pinelli is listed with 2 different address states: WA, FL

WA on 1 filing (Jun 10, 2020); FL on 3 filings (Jul 7, 2020 to Jul 5, 2022).

What this means The address on a Form D is usually the company's, not the person's home, so this often just reflects different companies. It can also mean a move. Nothing wrong by itself.

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
