The short version

Michael Lebby is listed as a director on 4 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Mar 2009 and Sep 2012: ONECHIP PHOTONICS CORP (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada (as filed: A6) — other technology — 2009–2012; $17M 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 Carlton G. Amdahl (4 shared filings), Gary Morgenthaler (4 shared filings), Gudmundur Hjartarson (4 shared filings), Paul Amirault (4 shared filings), Valery Tolstikhin (4 shared filings) and 7 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) — 3 court cases matching the name, 6 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 9 records came back, including 1 court case 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 Lebby and found 5 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 169 days after the first sale; 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

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

Worth asking · Mar 31, 2010 – Sep 16, 2010

Form D filed 169 days after the first sale — ONECHIP PHOTONICS CORP

The filing says the first sale was Mar 31, 2010. The Form D was filed Sep 16, 2010 — 169 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 154 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 · Sep 12, 2012 – Sep 17, 2012

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — ONECHIP PHOTONICS CORP (latest filing Sep 17, 2012)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Sep 17, 2012 (first sale Sep 12, 2012). It reports $15,567,516 sold of $17,193,577 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.

Sources
Note · Mar 17, 2009 – Sep 16, 2010

Industry group changed between filings — ONECHIP PHOTONICS CORP

"Other" (Mar 17, 2009); then "Other Technology" (Sep 16, 2010 to Sep 17, 2012).

What this means The issuer described its business differently on different forms. Often it is just a different box ticked; sometimes the deal itself changed. Ask which business your money is in.

Sources
Note · Dec 15, 2015

Same name, different state: "Michael Lebby" (CO) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is DC or A6. A separate record, "Michael Lebby" with address state CO, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by Lightwave Logic, Inc. (Dec 15, 2015). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs May 12, 2011 to Sep 17, 2012; the other has one filing dated Dec 15, 2015.

What this means Could be the same person who moved, or two people with the same name. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

Sources
Note · Mar 17, 2009 – Sep 17, 2012

Michael Lebby is listed with 2 different address states: DC, A6

DC on 2 filings (Mar 17, 2009 to Sep 16, 2010); Ontario, Canada (as filed: A6) on 2 filings (May 12, 2011 to Sep 17, 2012).

What this means The address on a Form D is usually the company's, not the person's home, so this often just reflects different companies. It can also mean a move. Nothing wrong by itself.

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

"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.
