The short version

Robert E. Brierley is listed as an executive officer and director on 4 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Nov 2009 and Apr 2015: AIRCUITY INC (Newton, MA — other energy — 2009–2015; $6.25M reported sold to 7 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 Gordon P. Sharp (4 shared filings), James Wilson (4 shared filings), Joyce Ferris (4 shared filings), James Rosenfield (3 shared filings), Patrick Romich (3 shared filings) and 3 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) — 4 court cases matching the name, 9 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 13 records came back, including 1 court case 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 4 public filings for Robert E. Brierley and found 2 differences: 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

2 differences found between the filings for Robert E. Brierley (compared 4 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Mar 24, 2015 – Apr 3, 2015

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — AIRCUITY INC (latest filing Apr 3, 2015)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Apr 3, 2015 (first sale Mar 24, 2015). It reports $6,245,880 sold of $7,000,000 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.

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
