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

What this means 1 record 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 3 public filings for Michael Lempres and found 4 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 498 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

4 differences found between the filings for Michael Lempres — 1 worth asking about (compared 3 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Dec 10, 2024 – Apr 22, 2026

Form D filed 498 days after the first sale — C1 Group LLC

The filing says the first sale was Dec 10, 2024. The Form D was filed Apr 22, 2026 — 498 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 483 days past that.

What this means The notice went in months after money was taken in. Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves, but it is fair to ask the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Sources
Note · Jul 28, 2017 – Aug 14, 2017

Form D filed 17 days after the first sale — Coinbase Global, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Jul 28, 2017. The Form D was filed Aug 14, 2017 — 17 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 2 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 · Oct 26, 2018 – Nov 2, 2018

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Coinbase Global, Inc. (latest filing Nov 2, 2018)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Nov 2, 2018 (first sale Oct 26, 2018). It reports $276,500,137 sold of $500,000,199 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 · Jul 28, 2017 – Aug 14, 2017

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Coinbase Global, Inc. (latest filing Aug 14, 2017)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Aug 14, 2017 (first sale Jul 28, 2017). It reports $108,100,235 sold of $136,246,099 offered. No later amendment is in our index as of Oct 24, 2026.

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 reported on 3 offerings — no sales commissions, finder's fees or proceeds to insiders
