10 differences found between the filings for Reuben Richards — 1 worth asking about (compared 5 filings on Oct 24, 2026)
A ap release dated Feb 7, 2018 names Thomas J. Russell (listed on the same filings). Our match estimate: 70%. The release is the source; we do not summarize its outcome here.
What this means A regulator filed or announced an action naming this person or company (or someone on the same filings). Read the release; ask the sponsor what it was and how it ended.
PhageTech, Inc. (last filing May 24, 2017; $1,650,000 sold of $4,012,500). Each has no filing in more than two years and reported under half its target sold.
What this means An issuer whose last filing is more than two years old and reported under half its target sold. The raise may have closed early or quietly stopped. Ask what happened to each.
The filing says the first sale was Jun 24, 2016. The Form D was filed Jul 11, 2016 — 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 latest filing for this offering is dated May 24, 2017 (first sale May 11, 2017). It reports $500,000 sold of $4,012,500 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.
The latest filing for this offering is dated Dec 3, 2015 (first sale Nov 18, 2015). It reports $1,650,000 sold of $2,400,000 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.
The latest filing for this offering is dated Aug 30, 2011 (first sale Aug 16, 2011). It reports $204,142 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.
The Dec 3, 2015 filing lists Reuben Richards as director; the May 24, 2017 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.
listed as "Reuben F. Richards" on the Aug 30, 2011 filing, and "Reuben Richards" on 4 filings (from Dec 3, 2015).
What this means Same person, written differently — a middle name or suffix left off, or spelled another way. It is normal, but check that the full legal name matches your subscription documents.
"Decline to Disclose" (May 12, 2016); then "$1 - $1,000,000" (Jul 11, 2016).
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.
NM on 1 filing (Aug 30, 2011); CA on 4 filings (Dec 3, 2015 to May 24, 2017).
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.
