The short version

Robert Ferchat is listed as an executive officer and director on 3 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Oct 2009 and Jan 2010: BTI Systems Inc. (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada (as filed: A6) — telecommunications — 2009–2010; $27M reported sold to 14 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 David Furneaux (3 shared filings), Ed M. Chaplin (3 shared filings), George Chase (3 shared filings), Glenn Thurston (3 shared filings), J. Ian Giffen (3 shared filings) and 9 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) — none found.

What this means Nothing turned up where we looked (3 sources). That does not prove there is nothing — it means none was found in those sources on that date.

We compared 3 public filings for Robert Ferchat and found 4 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Amount sold went down between filings; 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 Robert Ferchat — 1 worth asking about (compared 3 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Jun 3, 2009 – Oct 19, 2009

Amount sold went down between filings — BTI Systems Inc.

The Jun 3, 2009 filing says $1,687,506 sold; the Oct 19, 2009 Form D says $1,500,000 sold — $187,506 less.

What this means Amounts sold normally only go up as a raise continues. A drop can mean investors were refunded, a figure was corrected, or an earlier number was wrong. Ask the sponsor which it was.

Sources
Note · Nov 25, 2009 – Jan 25, 2010

Offering amount lowered between filings — BTI Systems Inc.

The Nov 25, 2009 filing says $4,500,000 offered; the Jan 25, 2010 Form D says $3,268,271.

What this means The target raise got smaller. That can mean the plan shrank or the sponsor stopped early. Ask what changed in the deal.

Sources
Note · Oct 19, 2009 – Nov 25, 2009

Offering amount changed between filings — BTI Systems Inc.

The Oct 19, 2009 filing says $1,500,000 offered; the Nov 25, 2009 Form D says $4,500,000.

What this means The target raise changed. Raising the cap is common when a deal grows; ask whether the extra money has the same terms and use.

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
