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) — 3 court cases matching the name, 56 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 59 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 9 public filings for John Rourke and found 8 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: 17 bankruptcy cases name the subject or team members; 4 Form Ds were filed more than 15 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.

What was searched

Sources searched: CourtListener bulk data (RECAP dockets as of 2026-09-30; recall-first rule 10-24) — federal district + bankruptcy courts State courts: not covered (one-tap state court links under Look further). PACER: not searched. · Last checked Oct 24, 2026, 2:19 AM ET.

Court records show docket facts only; we never restate allegations as facts. Outcome wording comes from the docket feed; where it does not state a disposition we say so.

State courts: not covered (one-tap state court links under Look further). No state offers a lawful automated statewide source PartnerFacts can use today. Texas (re:SearchTX) terms prohibit storing results in a database open to third parties; New York (WebCivil) and Massachusetts (MassCourts) require a browser check that blocks scripted queries; California has no statewide index (58 county portals; Rule of Court 2.503 grants name-based access case by case); Florida, Utah and Illinois offer paid or partial access whose terms for automated use are unverified. Washington (dw.courts.wa.gov; bulk index reports under a JISC data-dissemination agreement), Delaware (CourtConnect; Court of Chancery not included) and Arizona (apps.azcourts.gov/publicaccess, which has an official channel to request high-volume access) are the candidates; PartnerFacts will request written permission before any automated search.

4. Differences between public sources

Comparisons cover issuers and sponsor groups — see the issuer pages under Deals

8 differences found between the filings for John Rourke — 2 worth asking about (compared 9 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Jan 24, 1991 – Nov 15, 2022

17 bankruptcy cases name the subject or team members

Bankruptcy case: John O'Rourke and Donna O'Rourke — filed Jul 28, 2022 · Bankruptcy case: John E. O'Rourke — filed Feb 19, 2021 · Bankruptcy case: John E O'Rourke, Jr. — filed Jan 4, 2012 · Bankruptcy case: John P. O'Rourke and Magdalen M. O'Rourke — filed Dec 15, 2009 · Bankruptcy case: John F. O'Rourke — filed Mar 27, 2009 · and 12 more

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.

Sources
Worth asking · Oct 30, 2008 – Aug 4, 2025

4 Form Ds were filed more than 15 days after the first sale

Form D filed 427 days after the first sale — Bantam Networks, LLC · Form D filed 17 days after the first sale — Starburst Labs, Inc. · Form D filed 22 days after the first sale — Starburst Labs, Inc. · Form D filed 17 days after the first sale — Starburst Labs, Inc.

What this means Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves. A pattern of late paperwork is worth asking the sponsor about.

Sources
Note · Sep 14, 2012 – Jun 29, 2023

5 offerings have no amendment in the last 12 months and may still be open

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Starburst Labs, Inc. (latest filing Jun 29, 2023) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Starburst Labs, Inc. (latest filing Dec 11, 2019) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Starburst Labs, Inc. (latest filing Aug 15, 2016) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Starburst Labs, Inc. (latest filing Jul 17, 2014) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Starburst Labs, Inc. (latest filing Sep 24, 2012)

What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. Ask the sponsor which of these raises have closed.

Sources
Note · Dec 31, 2009 – Oct 18, 2010

Offering amount changed between filings — Bantam Networks, LLC

The Dec 31, 2009 filing says $1,500,000 offered; the Oct 18, 2010 Form D/A says $1,900,002.

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 · Sep 24, 2012 – Jan 17, 2017

Industry group changed between filings — Starburst Labs, Inc.

"Other Technology" (Sep 24, 2012 to Jul 17, 2014); then "Other" (Aug 15, 2016); then "Other Technology" (Jan 17, 2017 to Aug 4, 2025).

What this means The issuer described its business differently on different forms. Often it is just a different box ticked; sometimes the deal itself changed. Ask which business your money is in.

Sources
Note · Dec 31, 2009

Formed in 2009 per the latest filing, but activity is dated 2008 — Bantam Networks, LLC

The issuer's latest filing says it was formed in 2009. The Dec 31, 2009 filing says the first sale was Oct 30, 2008 — before that year.

What this means A company cannot sell before it exists, so one of the two dates is likely a typo on the form. Ask the sponsor for the formation document.

Sources
Note · Dec 11, 2019 – Jun 29, 2023

Address moved from New York, NY to Providence, RI — Starburst Labs, Inc.

The people listed on the Dec 11, 2019 filing give New York, NY; on the Jun 29, 2023 filing they give Providence, RI.

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 · Dec 31, 2009 – Aug 4, 2025

John Rourke is listed with 2 different address states: NY, RI

NY on 7 filings (Dec 31, 2009 to Dec 11, 2019); RI on 2 filings (Jun 29, 2023 to Aug 4, 2025).

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.

"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.
