The short version

Marcello Leone is listed as an executive officer and director on 13 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between Apr 2015 and Aug 2026: RYU APPAREL INC. (Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada (as filed: A1) — retailing — 2015–2019; $3.07M reported sold to 75 investors), VANTA HOLDINGS INC. (Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada (as filed: A1) — industry reported as "Other" — 2018–2026; $198K reported sold to 2 investors) and BevCanna Enterprises Inc. (Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada (as filed: A1) — industry reported as "Other" — 2018; $7,499 reported sold to 1 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 3 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 11 years. Across those companies the filings report $3.27M sold in total.

Listed alongside Martino Ciambrelli (13 shared filings), John Campbell (7 shared filings), Bill Marcus (5 shared filings), MARIA LEONE (5 shared filings), PEDRO VILLA (4 shared filings) and 12 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Marcello. 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) — 1 bankruptcy case matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 1 record 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 13 public filings for Marcello Leone and found 2 differences: Form D filed 16 days after the first sale; No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open.

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

2 differences found between the filings for Marcello Leone (compared 13 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Feb 22, 2021 – Mar 10, 2021

Form D filed 16 days after the first sale — VANTA HOLDINGS INC.

The filing says the first sale was Feb 22, 2021. The Form D was filed Mar 10, 2021 — 16 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 1 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 · Jul 11, 2018 – Jul 26, 2018

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — BevCanna Enterprises Inc. (latest filing Jul 26, 2018)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jul 26, 2018 (first sale Jul 11, 2018). It reports $0 sold of $30,000 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
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

0 of 13 offerings report sales commissions; 1 reports finder's fees totalling $1,855; 0 report proceeds to related persons.

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).

Deals 3

Every issuer that named Marcello Leone on a Form D, newest first. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment.
