The short version

Robert A. Duffy is listed as an executive officer and director on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Jan 2014: SimVentions, Inc. (Fredericksburg, VA — industry reported as "Other" — 2014; $90K reported sold to 26 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Jan 2014. 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 George D. Hughes, Jr. (1 shared filing), Herbert C. Kaler (1 shared filing), Joseph M. Caliri (1 shared filing), Lawrence M. Root (1 shared filing), Matthew S. Wilson (1 shared filing) and 2 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Robert. 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) — 14 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 14 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 1 public filing for Robert A. Duffy and found 3 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 63 days after the first sale; 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

3 differences found between the filings for Robert A. Duffy — 1 worth asking about (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Nov 15, 2013 – Jan 17, 2014

Form D filed 63 days after the first sale — SimVentions, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Nov 15, 2013. The Form D was filed Jan 17, 2014 — 63 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 48 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.

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.
