The short version

Michael Hiles is listed as an executive officer and director on 4 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Feb 2018 and Mar 2022: 10XTS INC (Cincinnati, OH — other technology — 2021–2022; $2M reported sold to 21 investors) and Cincinnati Crypto Fund, L.P. (Cincinnati, OH — industry reported as "Other" — 2018–2021; $200K reported sold to 2 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 4 years. Across those companies the filings report $2.2M sold in total.

Listed alongside GP, LLC W. Cincinnati Crypto Fund (2 shared filings, management entity), John Bentley (2 shared filings), Robert Slater (2 shared filings), Robert W. Buechner (2 shared filings) and Stacey Strasser (2 shared filings).

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 Group linked by Robert W. Buechner (3 issuers, $2.2M reported sold, 2018–2022).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Group linked by Robert W. Buechner has 3 companies on file and $2.2M 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 (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, DE, FINRA, FL, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 21 court cases matching the name, 4 state regulator orders, 10 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 35 records came back, including 5 court cases 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 4 public filings for Michael Hiles and found 7 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Bankruptcy case: Michael G Hiles and Myrtle Jean Hiles; 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.

Note · Apr 8, 2021 – May 18, 2021

Form D filed 40 days after the first sale — 10XTS INC

The filing says the first sale was Apr 8, 2021. The Form D was filed May 18, 2021 — 40 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 25 days past that.

What this means A late notice is common and carries no penalty by itself. It is worth asking the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Note · Apr 8, 2021 – Mar 23, 2022

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — 10XTS INC (latest filing Mar 23, 2022)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Mar 23, 2022 (first sale Apr 8, 2021). It reports $2,000,000 sold of $2,210,000 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. As of Oct 24, 2026.

5. Money to insiders

0 of 2 offerings report sales commissions; 0 report finder's fees; 1 reports proceeds to related persons totalling $100,000. (includes amounts the issuer reported as estimates)

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).
