The short version

Michael Keefer is listed as a director on 2 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Nov 2011 and Mar 2015: Clarion Research Group, Inc. (Clarion, PA — other health care — 2011–2015; $490K reported sold to 7 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 James Rutkowski (2 shared filings), Adam King (1 shared filing), Dustin M. McElhattan (1 shared filing), Fredrick L. Marroni (1 shared filing), Joseph P. Grunenwald (1 shared filing) and 3 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), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 18 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 18 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 Keefer and found 2 differences: 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

2 differences found between the filings for Michael Keefer (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Feb 17, 2015 – Mar 2, 2015

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Clarion Research Group, Inc. (latest filing Mar 2, 2015)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Mar 2, 2015 (first sale Feb 17, 2015). It reports $120,000 sold of $500,000 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.

Note · Nov 14, 2011 – Nov 21, 2011

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Clarion Research Group, Inc. (latest filing Nov 21, 2011)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Nov 21, 2011 (first sale Nov 14, 2011). It reports $215,000 sold of $1,500,000 offered. No later amendment is in our index as of Oct 24, 2026.

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

None of the 1 issuer this person is listed on appears in Form ADV (searched 24,962 advisers as of Oct 2, 2026). A person is never an adviser firm; Form ADV is checked for the issuers and the management companies they are listed with.
