The short version

Joseph Faris is listed as an executive officer on 5 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Jun 2009 and Sep 2012: LASER LIGHT ENGINES INC (Salem, NH — other technology — 2009–2012; $14.9M reported sold to 13 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 Daniel B. Wolfe (5 shared filings), Jiong Ma (5 shared filings), Ian Turner (4 shared filings), Nick Economou (4 shared filings), Peter F. Moulton (4 shared filings) and 6 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Joseph. Each name links to their own page.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 3 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 3 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 5 public filings for Joseph Faris and found 5 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 353 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.

4. Differences between public sources

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

5 differences found between the filings for Joseph Faris — 1 worth asking about (compared 5 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Oct 7, 2011 – Sep 24, 2012

Form D filed 353 days after the first sale — LASER LIGHT ENGINES INC

The filing says the first sale was Oct 7, 2011. The Form D was filed Sep 24, 2012 — 353 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 338 days past that.

What this means The notice went in months after money was taken in. Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves, but it is fair to ask the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Sources
Note · Jul 29, 2010 – Sep 10, 2010

Form D filed 43 days after the first sale — LASER LIGHT ENGINES INC

The filing says the first sale was Jul 29, 2010. The Form D was filed Sep 10, 2010 — 43 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 28 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 · Jun 19, 2009 – Nov 30, 2009

Offering amount changed between filings — LASER LIGHT ENGINES INC

The Jun 19, 2009 filing says $2,000,000 offered; the Nov 30, 2009 Form D says $4,000,000.

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 · Sep 17, 2010 – Sep 29, 2010

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — LASER LIGHT ENGINES INC (latest filing Sep 29, 2010)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Sep 29, 2010 (first sale Sep 17, 2010). It reports $14,881,508 sold of $19,881,508 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.

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
