8 differences found between the filings for Daniel O'Brien — 1 worth asking about (compared 5 filings on Oct 24, 2026)
United States Bankruptcy Court, E.D. New York docket "Clare M. Hart" filed Jul 12, 2012, closed Oct 16, 2012. Clare Hart (listed on the same filings) is listed as Debtor ("Clare M. Hart"). Our match estimate: 70%.
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.
The filing says the first sale was Nov 25, 2015. The Form D was filed Dec 18, 2015 — 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.
The filing says the first sale was Jun 26, 2015. The Form D was filed Jul 29, 2015 — 33 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 18 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.
The latest filing for this offering is dated Mar 14, 2016 (first sale Mar 1, 2016). It reports $37,544 sold of $479,027 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.
Daniel O'Brien appears on the Dec 17, 2015 Form D/A (executive officer) but not on the Dec 16, 2016 Form D/A for the same offering.
What this means People leave, and the issuer must list only current officers, directors and promoters. It is still worth asking why this person left and who replaced them.
This page covers filings where the address state is NY. A separate record, "Daniel O'Brien" with address state S1 or A1, is listed on 3 filings — most recently by North Sky Metals Corp. (Sep 21, 2026). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Jun 30, 2015 to Mar 14, 2016; the other runs Aug 27, 2026 to Sep 21, 2026.
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 this means Two records with one name were active at the same time. That can be one person listing different company addresses, or two different people. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.
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.

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.
