Data last updated Oct 23, 2026, 5:45 PM ET · Courts (RECAP) last checked: Oct 24, 2026, 2:36 AM ET · SEC enforcement last checked: covered by the index scan as of Oct 24, 2026, 2:50 AM ET

The short version

Randy Sprout is listed as an executive officer on 2 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Feb 2016 and May 2018: SMART WIRES INC. (Union City, CA — other energy — 2016–2018; $54.6M reported sold to 5 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 Anthony Arnerich (2 shared filings), Christopher Bass (2 shared filings), Frederick Buckman (2 shared filings), Gregg Rotenberg (2 shared filings), Jay Schmelter (2 shared filings) and 7 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Randy. 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) — 49 court cases matching the name, 1 SEC release, 7 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 57 records came back, including 8 court cases still open — open cases can take years and cost money. 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 Randy Sprout and found 4 differences: Form D filed 29 days after the first sale; 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

4 differences found between the filings for Randy Sprout (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · May 1, 2018 – May 30, 2018

Form D filed 29 days after the first sale — SMART WIRES INC.

The filing says the first sale was May 1, 2018. The Form D was filed May 30, 2018 — 29 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 14 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.

Sources
Note · May 1, 2018 – May 30, 2018

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — SMART WIRES INC. (latest filing May 30, 2018)

The latest filing for this offering is dated May 30, 2018 (first sale May 1, 2018). It reports $54,617,368 sold of $88,122,674 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 · Jan 25, 2016 – Feb 2, 2016

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — SMART WIRES INC. (latest filing Feb 2, 2016)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Feb 2, 2016 (first sale Jan 25, 2016). It reports $19,999,999 sold of $40,000,000 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 2, 2016 – May 30, 2018

Address moved from San Francisco, CA to Union City, CA — SMART WIRES INC.

The people listed on the Feb 2, 2016 filing give San Francisco, CA; on the May 30, 2018 filing they give Union City, CA.

What this means Businesses move; this just shows the two places and dates. If you were told one city and the forms say another, ask which is current.

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.

5. Money to insiders

"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.
