The short version

Michael Morini is listed as an executive officer and director on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Feb 2011: ARIA SYSTEMS, INC. (San Mateo, CA — other technology — 2011; $20.2M reported sold to 8 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Feb 2011. 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 Andy Frizzel (1 shared filing), Bruce Cleveland (1 shared filing), David S. Labuda (1 shared filing), Edward Sullivan (1 shared filing), Lance Walter (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 (AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, LA, ME, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, NH, NM, OR, RI, TX, WA) — 1 court case matching the name, 3 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 4 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 1 public filing for Michael Morini and found 5 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 63 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 Morini — 1 worth asking about (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Apr 10, 1980 – Jan 24, 1992

Bankruptcy case: People's Savings Bank of Brockton v. Morini — filed Apr 10, 1980

United States Bankruptcy Court, D. Massachusetts docket "People's Savings Bank of Brockton v. Morini" filed Apr 10, 1980, closed Jan 24, 1992. Michael Morini is listed as Defendant ("Morini"). Our match estimate: 40%.

What this means A bankruptcy filing was found. Many are old or personal and have nothing to do with the deal — but ask what it was and when it closed.

Sources
Worth asking · Nov 30, 2010 – Feb 1, 2011

Form D filed 63 days after the first sale — ARIA SYSTEMS, INC.

The filing says the first sale was Nov 30, 2010. The Form D was filed Feb 1, 2011 — 63 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 48 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 · Nov 30, 2010 – Feb 1, 2011

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — ARIA SYSTEMS, INC. (latest filing Feb 1, 2011)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Feb 1, 2011 (first sale Nov 30, 2010). It reports $20,222,599 sold of $21,165,119 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 · Mar 7, 2016 – Apr 25, 2023

Same name, different state: "Michael Morini" (MI or ME or NY) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA. A separate record, "Michael Morini" with address state MI or ME or NY, is listed on 11 filings — most recently by WorkForce Software Holdings, LLC (May 6, 2024). The two records do not overlap in time: this page has one filing dated Feb 1, 2011; the other runs Mar 7, 2016 to Apr 25, 2023.

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.

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.
