The short version

Christopher Williams is listed as an executive officer and director on 2 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Sep 2019 and Jul 2024: EdgeX, Inc. (San Diego, CA — other technology — 2019; $8.47M reported sold to 87 investors) and AppTech Payments Corp. (Carlsbad, CA — other technology — 2024; $2.5M reported sold to 2 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 5 years. Across those companies the filings report $11M sold in total.

Listed alongside Luke D'Angelo (1 shared filing), Marc Evans (1 shared filing), MeiLin Yu (1 shared filing), Mengyin H Liang (1 shared filing), Michael O'Neal (1 shared filing) and 3 others.

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 (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 6 court cases matching the name, 1 SEC release, 4 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 11 records came back, including 3 court cases still open — open cases can take years and cost money. 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 Williams and found 7 differences: Form D filed 19 days after the first sale; No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open; 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

7 differences found between the filings for Christopher Williams (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Aug 16, 2019 – Sep 4, 2019

Form D filed 19 days after the first sale — EdgeX, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Aug 16, 2019. The Form D was filed Sep 4, 2019 — 19 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 4 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 · Aug 16, 2019 – Sep 4, 2019

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — EdgeX, Inc. (latest filing Sep 4, 2019)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Sep 4, 2019 (first sale Aug 16, 2019). It reports $511,531 sold of $832,531 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.

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.

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).
