The short version

Michael Nelson is listed as an executive officer on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Apr 2009: Red Rock Energy Partners, Ltd. (Bartonville, TX — oil and gas — 2009; $81K reported sold to 1 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Apr 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 William Daniel Griffin (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) — 1 SEC release, 11 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 12 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 Nelson and found 9 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Regulator action naming a team member: Matthew Carl Griffin and William Daniel Griffin (Nov 23, 2016); 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

9 differences found between the filings for Michael Nelson — 1 worth asking about (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Nov 23, 2016

Regulator action naming a team member: Matthew Carl Griffin and William Daniel Griffin (Nov 23, 2016)

An SEC litigation release dated Nov 23, 2016 names William Daniel Griffin (listed on the same filings). Our match estimate: 70%. The release is the source; we do not summarize its outcome here.

What this means A regulator filed or announced an action naming this person or company (or someone on the same filings). Read the release; ask the sponsor what it was and how it ended.

Note · May 26, 2015 – Dec 15, 2017

Bankruptcy case: Red Rock Energy Partners, LTD — filed May 26, 2015

United States Bankruptcy Court, N.D. Texas docket "Red Rock Energy Partners, LTD" filed May 26, 2015, closed Dec 15, 2017. Red Rock Energy Partners, Ltd. (related issuer) is listed as Debtor ("Red Rock Energy Partners, LTD"). Our match estimate: 80%.

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
Note · Apr 15, 2009

Michael Nelson appears on 1 deal that stopped filing before reaching its target

Red Rock Energy Partners, Ltd. (last filing Apr 15, 2009; $81,000 sold of $1,215,000). Each has no filing in more than two years and reported under half its target sold.

What this means An issuer whose last filing is more than two years old and reported under half its target sold. The raise may have closed early or quietly stopped. Ask what happened to each.

Sources
Note · Mar 31, 2009 – Apr 15, 2009

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Red Rock Energy Partners, Ltd. (latest filing Apr 15, 2009)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Apr 15, 2009 (first sale Mar 31, 2009). It reports $81,000 sold of $1,215,000 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.

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.
