7 differences found between the filings for MARK WELLINGS (compared 11 filings on Oct 24, 2026)
United States Bankruptcy Court, N.D. New York docket "Jaime Hartman" filed Apr 11, 2019, closed Aug 6, 2019. Jaime Hartman (listed on the same filings) is listed as Debtor ("Jaime Hartman"). 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 filing says the first sale was Aug 14, 2020. The Form D was filed Aug 31, 2020 — 17 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 2 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.
The filing says the first sale was Dec 16, 2016. The Form D was filed Jan 17, 2017 — 32 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 17 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.
"No Revenues" (Jan 17, 2017); then "Decline to Disclose" (Dec 19, 2023).
What this means This is the size band the issuer picks for itself on the form. A change can mean the business grew or shrank — or that it chose not to say. Ask for current numbers.
This page covers filings where the address state is A6 or A4. A separate record, "Mark Wellings" with address state A1, is listed on 3 filings — most recently by Fox Tungsten Ltd. (Jun 9, 2026). Both records have filings in the same period (Mar 26, 2019 to Jan 21, 2025).
What this means Two records with one name were active at the same time. That can be one person listing different company addresses, or two different people. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.
The people listed on the Jan 17, 2017 filing give St. John'S, Newfoundland, Canada (as filed: A4); on the Jun 5, 2019 filing they give Toronto, Ontario, Canada (as filed: A6). The address now on file (220 Bay Street, Suite 550, Toronto, Ontario, Canada (as filed: A6)) is a registered-agent or shared-office address used by 7 issuers.
What this means A registered agent's address is a mailbox, not where the team works. Ask where the business actually operates.
Newfoundland, Canada (as filed: A4) on 1 filing (Jan 17, 2017); Ontario, Canada (as filed: A6) on 10 filings (Mar 10, 2017 to Jan 21, 2025).
What this means The address on a Form D is usually the company's, not the person's home, so this often just reflects different companies. It can also mean a move. Nothing wrong by itself.
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).

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