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) — 30 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 30 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 3 public filings for Dean Nelson and found 10 differences: Bankruptcy case: Armen Petrosian and Silva Gevorgiyevna Galemdaryan; Bankruptcy case: Vanguard Credit Llc v. Petrosian; 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.

United States Bankruptcy Court, C.D. California docket "Armen Petrosian and Silva Gevorgiyevna Galemdaryan" filed Dec 28, 2016, closed Apr 18, 2017. Armen Petrosian (listed on the same filings) is listed as Debtor ("Armen Petrosian and Silva Gevorgiyevna Galemdaryan"). Our match estimate: 63%.

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.

Form D filed 16 days after the first sale — Cato Digital, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Mar 20, 2023. The Form D was filed Apr 5, 2023 — 16 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 1 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.

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Cato Digital, Inc. (latest filing Apr 7, 2023)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Apr 7, 2023 (first sale Mar 20, 2023). It reports $8,718,126 sold of $10,207,497 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.

Same name, different state: "Dean Nelson" (CT) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA. A separate record, "Dean Nelson" with address state CT, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by Crimson Hexagon, Inc. (Mar 8, 2016). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Sep 8, 2021 to Apr 7, 2023; the other has one filing dated Mar 8, 2016.

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.

5. Money to insiders

None reported on 2 offerings — no sales commissions, finder's fees or proceeds to insiders

Per-offering detail

Offering (latest filing)	Sales commissions	Finder's fees	To insiders	Paid to sell it	Source
Apr 7, 2023 D/A Cato Digital, Inc. File 021-478054	$0	$0	$0	None listed on this filing	EDGAR ↗
Sep 8, 2021 D DISQO, Inc. File 021-412662	$0	$0	$0	None listed on this filing	EDGAR ↗

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).
