Data last updated Oct 23, 2026, 5:45 PM ET · Courts (RECAP) last checked: Oct 24, 2026, 2:17 AM ET · SEC enforcement last checked: covered by the index scan as of Oct 24, 2026, 2:50 AM ET

The short version

Paul Griff is listed as an executive officer, director, and promoter on 4 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Feb 2009 and Jan 2011: Root Wireless, Inc. (Bellevue, WA — other technology — 2009–2011; $3.04M reported sold to 38 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC. 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 Scott Anderson (4 shared filings), Jason Browne (3 shared filings) and Ronald Dicklin (3 shared filings).

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Paul. Each name links to their own page.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 4 court cases matching the name, 13 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 17 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 4 public filings for Paul Griff and found 7 differences: CRD number for Evolution Capital Advisors, LLC appears on one filing and not another; No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open; 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 Paul Griff (compared 4 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Nov 20, 2009

CRD number for Evolution Capital Advisors, LLC appears on one filing and not another — Root Wireless, Inc.

The Nov 20, 2009 filing lists Evolution Capital Advisors, LLC with CRD 137738; the Nov 20, 2009 Form D lists the same name with no CRD number.

What this means A CRD number is how you look a seller up on FINRA BrokerCheck. Missing it on a later form is usually a paperwork slip — use the number from the earlier form to check them.

Sources
Note · Dec 30, 2010 – Jan 13, 2011

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Root Wireless, Inc. (latest filing Jan 13, 2011)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jan 13, 2011 (first sale Dec 30, 2010). It reports $893,063 sold of $2,000,000 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
Note · Feb 11, 2009 – Nov 20, 2009

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Root Wireless, Inc. (latest filing Nov 20, 2009)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Nov 20, 2009 (first sale Feb 11, 2009). It reports $3,041,440 sold of $3,500,000 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
Note · Nov 20, 2009 – Jan 13, 2011

Paul Griff's role changed at Root Wireless, Inc.: executive officer, director, promoter → executive officer, director

The Nov 20, 2009 filing lists Paul Griff as executive officer, director, promoter; the Jan 13, 2011 Form D lists executive officer, director.

What this means Roles on Form D are self-reported by the issuer. A change can mean a real change in who runs the company, or just a different box ticked. Ask who makes decisions today.

Sources
Note · Feb 18, 2009 – Nov 20, 2009

Offering amount changed between filings — Root Wireless, Inc.

The Feb 18, 2009 filing says $750,000 offered; the Nov 20, 2009 Form D says $3,500,000.

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.

Sources
Note · Feb 18, 2009 – Nov 20, 2009

Minimum investment changed between filings — Root Wireless, Inc.

The Feb 18, 2009 filing lists a minimum of $5,000; the Nov 20, 2009 Form D lists $16,667.

What this means A different minimum usually means the offering terms changed. Check which terms apply to you.

Sources
Note · Feb 18, 2009 – Jan 13, 2011

Reported revenue range changed between filings — Root Wireless, Inc.

"No Revenues" (Feb 18, 2009); then "$1 - $1,000,000" (Nov 20, 2009); then "Decline to Disclose" (Jan 13, 2011).

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.

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.

"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).
