The short version

Matthew Frey is listed as an executive officer, director, and promoter on 6 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Jun 2011 and Aug 2014: Optimum Energy LLC (Seattle, WA — other technology — 2011–2014; $12.2M 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 Bert Hogue (6 shared filings), Joe Franzi (6 shared filings), Robert Andrews (6 shared filings), Stan Baty (6 shared filings), Jim Hanna (1 shared filing) and 2 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Matthew. 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) — 1 court case matching the name, 10 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 11 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 6 public filings for Matthew Frey and found 5 differences: Matthew Frey's role changed at Optimum Energy LLC: executive officer, promoter → executive officer, director; Matthew Frey's role changed at Optimum Energy LLC: executive officer → executive officer, promoter; 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.

Same name, different state: "Matthew Frey" (IN) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is WA. A separate record, "Matthew Frey" with address state IN, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by Sun Chef Global, Inc (Nov 25, 2015). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Jun 15, 2011 to Aug 25, 2014; the other has one filing dated Nov 25, 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.

Same name, different state: "Matthew J. Frey" (VA) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is WA. A separate record, "Matthew J. Frey" with address state VA, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by SAMMY SNACKS INC (Jul 22, 2014). Both records have filings in the same period (Jul 22, 2014).

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

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.
