The short version

Michael Johnson is listed as a director on 4 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Dec 2009 and Oct 2012: EMPIRE MINING CORP (Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada (as filed: A1) — industry reported as "Other" — 2009–2012; $4.14M reported sold to 6 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 David Charles Cliff (4 shared filings), Joel John Schuster (4 shared filings), Robert Giustra (4 shared filings), Akbar Hassanally (3 shared filings), Nick Clarke (3 shared filings) and 1 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.

The issuer belongs to the sponsor group Group linked by Robert Giustra (6 issuers, $7.78M reported sold, 2009–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Group linked by Robert Giustra has 6 companies on file and $7.78M 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) — 6 SEC releases 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.

We compared 4 public filings for Michael Johnson and found 6 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Paid seller listed without a CRD number: Antares Capital Fund Ltd; 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

6 differences found between the filings for Michael Johnson — 1 worth asking about (compared 4 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Oct 31, 2012

Paid seller listed without a CRD number: Antares Capital Fund Ltd. — EMPIRE MINING CORP

Antares Capital Fund Ltd. is listed as receiving sales compensation on 1 filing (Oct 31, 2012) with no FINRA CRD number given.

What this means People paid to sell securities normally hold a FINRA registration with a CRD number. Without one we cannot look them up on BrokerCheck. Ask who they are and whether they are registered.

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.

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).
