What this means 9 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 3 public filings for Michael Murphy and found 13 differences, 5 worth asking the sponsor about: Regulator action: John Special, Defendant, and Michael Murphy, Relief Defendant, John Kenneth Davidson (Dec 12, 2019); AZ securities regulator order naming Michael Murphy (Jan 31, 2022); 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.
