The short version

Mark Robert Smith is listed as an executive officer on 2 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Aug 2025 and Oct 2025: Living Tale Series Productions, LLC (Lavina, MT — industry reported as "Other" — 2025; $5,000 reported sold to 2 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Oct 2025. 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 Jane Helm Hadley Smith (2 shared filings).

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Mark. 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) — 2 SEC releases, 2 state regulator orders listed in Key records below.

What this means 4 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 Mark Robert Smith and found 7 differences: No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open; Same name, different state: "Mark Smith" (TX) is a separate record; 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

7 differences found between the filings for Mark Robert Smith (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Oct 3, 2025 – Oct 14, 2025

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Living Tale Series Productions, LLC (latest filing Oct 14, 2025)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Oct 14, 2025 (first sale Oct 3, 2025). It reports $5,000 sold of $750,000 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.

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

"Paid to sell it" = sales compensation recipients named on that filing (Item 12), each linked to FINRA BrokerCheck when a CRD number is reported.
