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) — 4 court cases matching the name, 2 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 6 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 5 public filings for Daniel Bleak and found 5 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: 4 court cases name Daniel Bleak; 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

5 differences found between the filings for Daniel Bleak — 1 worth asking about (compared 5 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Jul 17, 1990 – May 8, 2019

4 court cases name Daniel Bleak — 2 as defendant

By role: defendant in 2, plaintiff in 2. Newest: "Custom Lighting Services v. Bleak" (District Court, D. Utah, May 8, 2019); "Custom Lighting Services v. Bleak" (District Court, D. Utah, May 2, 2019); "Bleak v. Spotify USA Inc." (District Court, N.D. California, Dec 6, 2013). Some of these are name matches with a match estimate below 95% — check each docket.

What this means Several court cases name this subject. Some are routine business suits. Ask what each was about and how it ended.

Sources
Note · Dec 3, 2010 – Jan 7, 2011

Form D filed 35 days after the first sale — American Energy Fields, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Dec 3, 2010. The Form D was filed Jan 7, 2011 — 35 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 20 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.

Form D · Jan 7, 2011 ↗American Energy Fields, Inc. — PartnerFacts page ↗
Sources
Note · May 23, 2011 – Jun 3, 2011

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — NextPlat Corp (latest filing Jun 3, 2011)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jun 3, 2011 (first sale May 23, 2011). It reports $550,000 sold of $2,500,000 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.

Form D · Jun 3, 2011 ↗NextPlat Corp — PartnerFacts page ↗
Sources
Note · Feb 24, 2011 – Apr 5, 2011

Offering amount changed between filings — American Energy Fields, Inc.

The Feb 24, 2011 filing says $10,000,000 offered; the Apr 5, 2011 Form D/A says $18,070,381.

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.

Same name, different state: "DANIEL BLEAK" (A1) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is AZ. A separate record, "DANIEL BLEAK" with address state A1, is listed on 5 filings — most recently by BIG NORTH GRAPHITE CORP. (May 7, 2015). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Jan 7, 2011 to Mar 7, 2012; the other runs Mar 27, 2014 to May 7, 2015.

What this means Could be the same person who moved, or two people with the same name. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

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).
