The short version

Scott LaPorta is listed as an executive officer and director on 4 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Dec 2025 and Aug 2026: Sugarfina Corp (Las Vegas, NV — industry reported as "Other" — 2025–2026; $24.2M reported sold to 98 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 Brian Garrett (4 shared filings), Diana Derycz-Kessler (4 shared filings), Fiona Revic (4 shared filings) and Paul L Kessler (4 shared filings).

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Scott. Each name links to their own page.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 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 4 public filings for Scott LaPorta and found 6 differences, 4 worth asking the sponsor about: Paid seller listed without a CRD number: MZ Digital, LLC; Paid seller listed without a CRD number: AICapitalRaising.com; 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.

Worth asking · Aug 14, 2026

Paid seller listed without a CRD number: MZ Digital, LLC — Sugarfina Corp

MZ Digital, LLC is listed as receiving sales compensation on 1 filing (Aug 14, 2026) with no FINRA CRD number given.

What this means People paid to sell securities normally hold a FINRA registration with a CRD number. Without one we cannot look them up on BrokerCheck. Ask who they are and whether they are registered.

Form D filed 531 days after the first sale — Sugarfina Corp

The filing says the first sale was Mar 5, 2025. The Form D was filed Aug 18, 2026 — 531 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 516 days past that.

What this means The notice went in months after money was taken in. Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves, but it is fair to ask the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Form D filed 873 days after the first sale — Sugarfina Corp

The filing says the first sale was Mar 28, 2024. The Form D was filed Aug 18, 2026 — 873 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 858 days past that.

Form D filed 16 days after the first sale — Sugarfina Corp

The filing says the first sale was Nov 30, 2025. The Form D was filed Dec 16, 2025 — 16 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 1 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.

Sources
Note · Dec 16, 2025 – Aug 14, 2026

Reported revenue range changed between filings — Sugarfina Corp

"Decline to Disclose" (Dec 16, 2025); then "$25,000,001 - $100,000,000" (Aug 14, 2026).

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.

Sources
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

1 of 4 offerings reports sales commissions totalling $18,000; 1 reports finder's fees totalling $272,500; 2 report proceeds to related persons totalling $150,000. (includes amounts the issuer reported as estimates)

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).
