The short version

Michael Ayes is listed as a director on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Jul 2010: GSDM Holdings LLC (Paramus, NJ — other health care — 2010; $7.37M reported sold to 8 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Jul 2010. 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 Brett Prager (1 shared filing), Brian C. Tilley (1 shared filing), Craig Abramowitz (1 shared filing), Donald DeMuth (1 shared filing) and Doug Gilbert (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.

The issuer belongs to the sponsor group Dfw (35 issuers, $3.23B reported sold, 2010–2025).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Dfw has 35 companies on file and $3.23B 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) — 1 court case matching the name, 5 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 6 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.

4. Differences between public sources

Comparisons cover issuers and sponsor groups — see the issuer pages under Deals

No differences found between the public filings we have for Michael Ayes (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026).

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
