The short version

John Robert Smith is listed as an executive officer and director on 3 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Mar 2011 and Mar 2016: BIZPAC Review, Inc. (West Palm Beach, FL — industry reported as "Other" — 2011–2016; $140K reported sold to 32 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.

Listed alongside Jack Furnari (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.

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) — 4 court cases matching the name, 6 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 10 records came back, including 4 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 3 public filings for John Robert Smith and found 9 differences: John Robert Smith appears on 1 deal that stopped filing before reaching its target; No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open; 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

9 differences found between the filings for John Robert Smith (compared 3 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Mar 2, 2016

John Robert Smith appears on 1 deal that stopped filing before reaching its target

BIZPAC Review, Inc. (last filing Mar 2, 2016; $140,000 sold of $300,000). Each has no filing in more than two years and reported under half its target sold.

What this means An issuer whose last filing is more than two years old and reported under half its target sold. The raise may have closed early or quietly stopped. Ask what happened to each.

Sources
Note · Feb 17, 2016 – Mar 2, 2016

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — BIZPAC Review, Inc. (latest filing Mar 2, 2016)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Mar 2, 2016 (first sale Feb 17, 2016). It reports $90,000 sold of $300,000 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 · Mar 2, 2011 – Mar 11, 2011

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — BIZPAC Review, Inc. (latest filing Mar 11, 2011)

Sources
Note · Mar 11, 2011 – Jun 26, 2012

Reported revenue range changed between filings — BIZPAC Review, Inc.

"No Revenues" (Mar 11, 2011); then "Decline to Disclose" (Jun 26, 2012).

What this means This is the size band the issuer picks for itself on the form. A change can mean the business grew or shrank — or that it chose not to say. Ask for current numbers.

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.
