What this means 17 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 43 public filings for ROYCE D SMITH and found 9 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: Bankruptcy case: Royce Smith; 4 filings report more than 10% of the money raised going to insiders; 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.

9 differences found between the filings for ROYCE D SMITH — 2 worth asking about (compared 43 filings on Oct 24, 2026)
United States Bankruptcy Court, N.D. Texas docket "Royce Smith" filed Jul 30, 2016, closed Dec 9, 2016. ROYCE D SMITH is listed as Debtor ("Royce Smith"). Our match estimate: 40%.
What this means A bankruptcy filing was found. Many are old or personal and have nothing to do with the deal — but ask what it was and when it closed.
30% of the money raised went to insiders — VICTORIA ENERGY CORP · 1250% of the money raised went to insiders — VICTORIA ENERGY CORP · 145% of the money raised went to insiders — VICTORIA ENERGY CORP · 14% of the money raised went to insiders — VICTORIA ENERGY CORP
What this means The filing reports how much of the money raised was paid to insiders. Over 10% is high for most deals. Ask what it paid for.
VICTORIA ENERGY CORP (last filing Jan 21, 2016; $174,650 sold of $1,232,000); Victoria Energy CORP (last filing May 7, 2009; $0 sold of $957,600). 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 Jul 2, 2012. The Form D was filed Jul 25, 2012 — 23 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 8 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.
No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — VICTORIA ENERGY CORP (latest filing Oct 1, 2012) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — VICTORIA ENERGY CORP (latest filing Jul 25, 2012) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — VICTORIA ENERGY CORP (latest filing Mar 21, 2012) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — VICTORIA ENERGY CORP (latest filing Jul 9, 2010)
What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. Ask the sponsor which of these raises have closed.
The Nov 6, 2009 filing says $528,000 offered; the Mar 8, 2010 Form D says $700,000.
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.
The Nov 6, 2009 filing lists a minimum of $5,500; the Mar 8, 2010 Form D lists $8,750.
What this means A different minimum usually means the offering terms changed. Check which terms apply to you.
listed as "Royce Smith" on 11 filings (from May 7, 2009), and "Royce D Smith" on 32 filings (from Mar 8, 2010).
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.
"$5,000,001 - $25,000,000" (Nov 6, 2009); then "$1,000,001 - $5,000,000" (Jun 17, 2015).
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.
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.
0 of 41 offerings report sales commissions; 0 report finder's fees; 41 report proceeds to related persons totalling $725,500. (includes amounts the issuer reported as estimates)

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.
