The short version

Robert Kopple is listed as a director on 2 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Apr 2015 and Jul 2020: TONOGOLD RESOURCES INC (La Jolla, CA — industry reported as "Other" — 2020; $600K reported sold to 22 investors) and EQUITIES.COM, INC. (Los Angeles, CA — other technology — 2015; $230K reported sold to 5 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as director, over about 5 years. Across those companies the filings report $830K sold in total.

Listed alongside Alfred Berkeley III (1 shared filing), Allen Edwards (1 shared filing), Christian Carnell (1 shared filing), David Bernard (1 shared filing), Eric Muschinski (1 shared filing) 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), state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 11 court cases matching the name, 2 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below. Not yet searched: SEC enforcement releases.

What this means 13 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.

Texas (re:SearchTX) terms prohibit storing results in a database open to third parties; New York (WebCivil) and Massachusetts (MassCourts) require a browser check that blocks scripted queries; California has no statewide index (58 county portals; Rule of Court 2.503 grants name-based access case by case); Florida, Utah and Illinois offer paid or partial access whose terms for automated use are unverified. Washington (dw.courts.wa.gov; bulk index reports under a JISC data-dissemination agreement), Delaware (CourtConnect; Court of Chancery not included) and Arizona (apps.azcourts.gov/publicaccess, which has an official channel to request high-volume access) are the candidates; PartnerFacts will request written permission before any automated search.

How this is counted

Counts come from Form D Items 12–15 on the filings in our index (latest filing per offering; one offering = one SEC file number; an amendment updates its offering rather than adding one). "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.

Counted across every filing this person is listed on (latest filing per offering, per issuer).
