The short version

Michael J. Hess is listed as a director on 2 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Jun 2011 and Aug 2011: Bothell Medical/Dental Associates, LLC (Edmonds, WA — commercial — 2011; $5.75M reported sold to 9 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Aug 2011. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment — it is a notice, not an approval.

No other person or management entity is listed on the same filings.

What this means The filings name this person alone — no co-officers, directors or promoters were listed.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 3 SEC releases, 1 bankruptcy case matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 4 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 J. Hess and found 8 differences: Form D filed 23 days after the first sale; No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open; 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

8 differences found between the filings for Michael J. Hess (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · May 16, 2011 – Jun 8, 2011

Form D filed 23 days after the first sale — Bothell Medical/Dental Associates, LLC

The filing says the first sale was May 16, 2011. The Form D was filed Jun 8, 2011 — 23 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 8 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.

Sources
Note · May 16, 2011 – Aug 2, 2011

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Bothell Medical/Dental Associates, LLC (latest filing Aug 2, 2011)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Aug 2, 2011 (first sale May 16, 2011). It reports $5,750,000 sold of $5,900,000 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.

Minimum investment changed between filings — Bothell Medical/Dental Associates, LLC

The Jun 8, 2011 filing lists a minimum of $100,000; the Aug 2, 2011 Form D/A lists $75,000.

What this means A different minimum usually means the offering terms changed. Check which terms apply to you.

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.
