The short version

Michael Lauth is listed as an executive officer and director on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Aug 2009: Ixsystems, Inc. (San Jose, CA — computers — 2009; $2M reported sold to 1 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Aug 2009. 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 Matthew Olander (1 shared filing) and Theresa Garner (1 shared filing).

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 (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 15 court cases matching the name, 4 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 19 records came back, including 2 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 1 public filing for Michael Lauth and found 1 difference: 3 court cases name Michael Lauth.

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.

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.
