By role: plaintiff in 4. Newest: "Azzopardi v. BioSpecifics Technologies Corp." (District Court, E.D. New York, Nov 7, 2020); "Azzopardi v. 1398517 Alberta Ltd." (District Court, S.D. Florida, Jun 29, 2018); "Azzopardi v. Deutsche Bank National Trust Company" (District Court, N.D. California, May 28, 2015). Some of these are name matches with a match estimate below 95% — check each docket.

The filing says the first sale was Jan 1, 2016. The Form D was filed Apr 11, 2016 — 101 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 86 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.
Mark Azzopardi appears on the Mar 16, 2021 Form D/A (director) but not on the Mar 16, 2022 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.

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.
