The short version

Michael B. De Santis is listed as an executive officer and promoter on 8 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Mar 2009 and Mar 2016: Hangar 4 Eagle I, L.P. (Novato, CA — pooled investment fund — 2009–2016; $126.3M reported sold to 153 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 Hangar 4 Partners, L.L.C. (8 shared filings, management entity), Bruce M. Lupatkin (7 shared filings) and Bruce A. Lupatkin (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.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 11 court cases matching the name, 6 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 17 records came back, including 1 court case still open — open cases can take years and cost money. 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 8 public filings for Michael B. De Santis and found 3 differences: Michael B. De Santis's role changed at Hangar 4 Eagle I, L.P.: executive officer, promoter → executive officer; Michael B. De Santis's role changed at Hangar 4 Eagle I, L.P.: 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.

3 differences found between the filings for Michael B. De Santis (compared 8 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Mar 4, 2011 – Mar 6, 2012

Michael B. De Santis's role changed at Hangar 4 Eagle I, L.P.: executive officer, promoter → executive officer

The Mar 4, 2011 filing lists Michael B. De Santis as executive officer, promoter; the Mar 6, 2012 Form D/A lists executive officer.

What this means Roles on Form D are self-reported by the issuer. A change can mean a real change in who runs the company, or just a different box ticked. Ask who makes decisions today.

Note · Mar 4, 2009 – Mar 2, 2010

Michael B. De Santis's role changed at Hangar 4 Eagle I, L.P.: executive officer → executive officer, promoter

The Mar 4, 2009 filing lists Michael B. De Santis as executive officer; the Mar 2, 2010 Form D/A lists executive officer, promoter.

What this means Roles on Form D are self-reported by the issuer. A change can mean a real change in who runs the company, or just a different box ticked. Ask who makes decisions today.

Note · Jan 1, 1991 – Mar 11, 2016

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Hangar 4 Eagle I, L.P. (latest filing Mar 11, 2016)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Mar 11, 2016 (first sale Jan 1, 1991). It reports $126,298,748 sold of $500,000,000 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
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
