The short version

Michael A. Crane is listed as an executive officer and director on 2 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Feb 2012 and Aug 2013: Villas at Canyon Creek, LLC (Sioux Falls, SD — other real estate — 2012; $400K reported sold to 2 investors) and Prairie Vista Partners LLLP (Sioux Falls, SD — industry reported as "Other" — 2013; $150K reported sold to 1 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director. Across those companies the filings report $550K sold in total.

Listed alongside Michael S. Bender (2 shared filings), Joel Dykstra (1 shared filing), Kyle Scholten (1 shared filing), Robert Broin (1 shared filing) and Thomas J. Morris (1 shared filing).

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Michael. Each name links to their own page.

All 2 issuers belong to the sponsor group Sage Meadow (20 issuers, $59.9M reported sold, 2009–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Sage Meadow has 20 companies on file and $59.9M reported sold in total — the group page shows the whole track record in one place.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 14 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 14 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 Michael A. Crane and found 6 differences: No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open; Same name, different state: "Michael Crane" (NY or TX) is a separate record; 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

6 differences found between the filings for Michael A. Crane (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Aug 9, 2013 – Aug 13, 2013

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Prairie Vista Partners LLLP (latest filing Aug 13, 2013)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Aug 13, 2013 (first sale Aug 9, 2013). It reports $150,000 sold of $1,600,000 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.
