7 differences found between the filings for Mark Janofsky — 1 worth asking about (compared 5 filings on Oct 24, 2026)
United States Bankruptcy Court, D. New Jersey docket "John T Spitznagel" filed Jul 13, 2012, closed Jul 31, 2013. John T. Spitznagel (listed on the same filings) is listed as Debtor ("John T Spitznagel"). Our match estimate: 80%.
What this means A bankruptcy filing was found. Many are old or personal and have nothing to do with the deal — but ask what it was and when it closed.
United States Bankruptcy Court, W.D. Pennsylvania docket "Sisko v. First North American National Bank" filed Jan 20, 2004, closed Jan 21, 2004. Brian Sisko (listed on the same filings) is listed as Plaintiff ("Sisko"). Our match estimate: 70%.
What this means A bankruptcy filing was found. Many are old or personal and have nothing to do with the deal — but ask what it was and when it closed.
The latest filing for this offering is dated Mar 16, 2017 (first sale May 22, 2014). It reports $6,004,500 sold of $8,004,500 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.
Mark Janofsky appears on the Jan 3, 2018 Form D (executive officer) but not on the Mar 29, 2018 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.
The Jan 3, 2018 filing says $3,300,000 offered; the Mar 29, 2018 Form D/A says $3,700,000.
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.
The Apr 22, 2016 filing says $5,004,500 offered; the Mar 16, 2017 Form D/A says $8,004,500.
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.
The Jul 22, 2014 filing says $4,000,000 offered; the Apr 22, 2016 Form D/A says $5,004,500.
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.
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.

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.

Raised $34.7M from 18 investors (100% of the $3.3M target) as of the latest filing. Mark is listed as executive officer on 5 filings for this deal.
