The short version

John Lea is listed as a director on 7 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Apr 2017 and Jul 2022: Tesseract Structural Innovations, Inc. (Fayetteville, AR — industry reported as "Other" — 2017–2022; $275K reported sold to 11 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 Henry Renegar (7 shared filings), James Y Lancaster (6 shared filings), Robert Calvin Goforth (5 shared filings), Bernard Prusaczyk (3 shared filings), Bernie Prusaczyk (1 shared filing) and 4 others.

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 Vin (57 issuers, $13.8M reported sold, 2011–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Vin has 57 companies on file and $13.8M 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) — 15 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 7 public filings for John Lea and found 3 differences: Offering amount changed between filings; 6 offerings have no amendment in the last 12 months and 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

3 differences found between the filings for John Lea (compared 7 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · May 19, 2021 – Sep 20, 2021

Offering amount changed between filings — Tesseract Structural Innovations, Inc.

The May 19, 2021 filing says $500,000 offered; the Sep 20, 2021 Form D/A says $700,000.

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 · Apr 6, 2017 – Jul 5, 2022

6 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 — Tesseract Structural Innovations, Inc. (latest filing Jul 5, 2022) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Tesseract Structural Innovations, Inc. (latest filing Sep 20, 2021) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Tesseract Structural Innovations, Inc. (latest filing Jan 14, 2021) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Tesseract Structural Innovations, Inc. (latest filing Nov 18, 2019) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Tesseract Structural Innovations, Inc. (latest filing Nov 15, 2018) · and 1 more

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 · Apr 19, 2017 – Nov 15, 2018

John Lea is written 2 different ways on the filings

listed as "John S. Lea" on the Apr 19, 2017 filing, and "John Lea" on 6 filings (from Nov 15, 2018).

What this means Same person, written differently — a middle name or suffix left off, or spelled another way. It is normal, but check that the full legal name matches your subscription documents.

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.

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).
