The short version

Christopher Bean is listed as an executive officer and director on 2 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Nov 2024 and Jan 2025: Skytree Scientific, Inc. (Asheville, NC — other technology — 2024–2025; $50K reported sold to 1 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 Hao Ping Tay (2 shared filings) and James Grasty (2 shared filings).

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Christopher. 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) — 17 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

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 2 public filings for Christopher Bean and found 2 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Bankruptcy case: Christopher A. Bean and Jenny L. Bean; 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 Christopher Bean — 1 worth asking about (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Mar 24, 2004 – Jun 29, 2004

Bankruptcy case: Christopher A. Bean and Jenny L. Bean — filed Mar 24, 2004

United States Bankruptcy Court, W.D. North Carolina docket "Christopher A. Bean and Jenny L. Bean" filed Mar 24, 2004, closed Jun 29, 2004. Christopher Bean is listed as Debtor ("Christopher A. Bean and Jenny L. Bean"). 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.

Sources
Note · Nov 19, 2024 – Nov 27, 2024

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Skytree Scientific, Inc. (latest filing Nov 27, 2024)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Nov 27, 2024 (first sale Nov 19, 2024). It reports $25,000 sold of $800,000 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.

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
