The short version

John Shepard is listed as an executive officer on 2 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer in May 2014: DSC Trading, LLC (Pembroke Pines, FL — industry reported as "Other" — 2014; $5M reported sold to 52 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed May 2014. 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 Jaime Nicole Shepard (2 shared filings), Janelle Wise (2 shared filings) and Mark Wise (2 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) — 48 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 48 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 2 public filings for John Shepard and found 4 differences, 3 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 71 days after the first sale; Form D filed 154 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.

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

4 differences found between the filings for John Shepard — 3 worth asking about (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Mar 12, 2014 – May 22, 2014

Form D filed 71 days after the first sale — DSC Trading, LLC

The filing says the first sale was Mar 12, 2014. The Form D was filed May 22, 2014 — 71 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 56 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.

Worth asking · Dec 19, 2013 – May 22, 2014

Form D filed 154 days after the first sale — DSC Trading, LLC

The filing says the first sale was Dec 19, 2013. The Form D was filed May 22, 2014 — 154 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 139 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
Worth asking · May 22, 2014 – Feb 19, 2016

John Shepard is no longer listed on the Feb 19, 2016 amendment — DSC Trading, LLC

John Shepard appears on the May 22, 2014 Form D (executive officer) but not on the Feb 19, 2016 Form D/A for the same offering.

What this means People leave, and the issuer must list only current officers, directors and promoters. It is still worth asking why this person left and who replaced them.

Sources
Note · Jan 29, 2013

Same name, different state: "John Shepard" (WA) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is FL. A separate record, "John Shepard" with address state WA, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by Sigby Inc. (Jan 29, 2013). The two records do not overlap in time: this page has one filing dated May 22, 2014; the other has one filing dated Jan 29, 2013.

What this means Could be the same person who moved, or two people with the same name. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

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).
