The short version

DAVID ZIOLKOWSKI is listed as an executive officer and director on 2 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Apr 2016 and Feb 2018: Fuel Leadership, LLC (Ferndale, MI — industry reported as "Other" — 2016–2018; $1.46M reported sold to 8 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 ANTHONY MICHAELS (1 shared filing), CRAIG ERLICH (1 shared filing), DENISE ILITCH (1 shared filing), JAMES PALMER (1 shared filing), JORDAN BROAD (1 shared filing) and 4 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around DAVID. 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) — 8 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 8 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 DAVID ZIOLKOWSKI and found 4 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Bankruptcy case: David A Ziolkowski and Laura A Ziolkowski; 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

4 differences found between the filings for DAVID ZIOLKOWSKI — 1 worth asking about (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Apr 15, 2013 – Jul 26, 2013

Bankruptcy case: David A Ziolkowski and Laura A Ziolkowski — filed Apr 15, 2013

United States Bankruptcy Court, E.D. Michigan docket "David A Ziolkowski and Laura A Ziolkowski" filed Apr 15, 2013, closed Jul 26, 2013. DAVID ZIOLKOWSKI is listed as Debtor ("David A Ziolkowski and Laura A Ziolkowski"). Our match estimate: 44%.

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 · Feb 28, 2018

11% of the money raised went to insiders — Fuel Leadership, LLC

The Feb 28, 2018 Form D reports $758,995 sold and $80,000 of the proceeds used for payments to officers, directors or promoters (marked as an estimate). Issuer's note: "Approximately $20,000 is estimated to be paid to officers and $60,000 to pay accumulated expense reimbursements of officers".

What this means The filing reports how much of the money raised was paid to insiders. Over 10% is high for most deals. Ask what it paid for.

Sources
Note · Feb 14, 2018 – Feb 28, 2018

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Fuel Leadership, LLC (latest filing Feb 28, 2018)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Feb 28, 2018 (first sale Feb 14, 2018). It reports $758,995 sold of $780,000 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
Note · Apr 18, 2016 – Apr 29, 2016

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Fuel Leadership, LLC (latest filing Apr 29, 2016)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Apr 29, 2016 (first sale Apr 18, 2016). It reports $1,457,000 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.

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

0 of 2 offerings report sales commissions; 0 report finder's fees; 1 reports proceeds to related persons totalling $80,000. (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).
