The short version

Michael Platner is listed as a director on 3 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Aug 2013 and Mar 2016: IPR INTERNATIONAL LLC (Wayne, PA — other technology — 2013; $1.97M reported sold to 17 investors) and IPRsecure, LLC (Wilmington, DE — other technology — 2016; $1.29M reported sold to 26 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as director, over about 3 years. Across those companies the filings report $3.26M sold in total.

Listed alongside John McMeekin (3 shared filings), John P Meenan (3 shared filings), John Ryan (3 shared filings), Michael J Emmi (3 shared filings), Paul Woodruff (3 shared filings) and 10 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) — 2 court cases matching the name, 2 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 3 public filings for Michael Platner and found 4 differences: No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open; Same name, different state: "Michael Platner" (FL) is a separate record; 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 Platner (compared 3 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Mar 10, 2016 – Mar 18, 2016

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — IPRsecure, LLC (latest filing Mar 18, 2016)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Mar 18, 2016 (first sale Mar 10, 2016). It reports $1,288,184 sold of $3,000,000 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.

Note · Jul 19, 2013 – Oct 21, 2013

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — IPR INTERNATIONAL LLC (latest filing Oct 21, 2013)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Oct 21, 2013 (first sale Jul 19, 2013). It reports $1,974,277 sold of $5,000,000 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.

Sources
Note · Feb 10, 2010

Same name, different state: "Michael Platner" (FL) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is PA or DE. A separate record, "Michael Platner" with address state FL, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by LOC-AID Technologies, Inc. (Feb 10, 2010). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Aug 2, 2013 to Oct 21, 2013; the other has one filing dated Feb 10, 2010.

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 · Aug 2, 2013 – Mar 18, 2016

Michael Platner is listed with 2 different address states: PA, DE

PA on 2 filings (Aug 2, 2013 to Oct 21, 2013); DE on 1 filing (Mar 18, 2016).

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.

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

0 of 2 offerings report sales commissions; 0 report finder's fees; 1 reports proceeds to related persons totalling $750,000. (includes amounts the issuer reported as estimates)

How this is counted

Counts come from Form D Items 12–15 on the filings in our index (latest filing per offering; one offering = one SEC file number; an amendment updates its offering rather than adding one). "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.

Counted across every filing this person is listed on (latest filing per offering, per issuer).
