10 differences found between the filings for PING LI — 1 worth asking about (compared 3 filings on Oct 24, 2026)
United States Bankruptcy Court, E.D. New York docket "Matthew Gatto" filed May 28, 2025 (Open). MATTHEW GATTO (listed on the same filings) is listed as Debtor ("Matthew Gatto"). 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.
United States Bankruptcy Court, E.D. New York docket "Matthew J. Gatto" filed Jun 9, 2010, closed Sep 14, 2010. MATTHEW GATTO (listed on the same filings) is listed as Debtor ("Matthew J. Gatto"). 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 Dec 16, 2014. The Form D was filed Oct 23, 2015 — 311 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 296 days past that.
What this means The notice went in months after money was taken in. Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves, but it is fair to ask the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.
The filing says the first sale was May 6, 2016. The Form D was filed Jun 29, 2016 — 54 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 39 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 latest filing for this offering is dated Sep 13, 2016 (first sale May 6, 2016). It reports $6,171,183 sold of an indefinite amount 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: 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.
