The short version

Michael Ellis is listed as an executive officer on 2 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Oct 2022 and May 2023: Rumble Inc. (Longboat Key, FL — other technology — 2022–2023; $83M reported sold to 67 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 Brandon Alexandroff (2 shared filings), Christopher Pavlovski (2 shared filings), Claudio Ramolo (2 shared filings), Ethan Fallang (2 shared filings), Nancy Armstrong (2 shared filings) and 5 others.

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), state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 15 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below. Not yet searched: SEC enforcement releases.

What this means 15 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.

How this is counted

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).
