The short version

Michael S Williams is listed as a director on 4 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between Apr 2009 and Nov 2009: Dynamic Biometric Systems, Inc. (Phoenix, AZ — computers — 2009; $205K reported sold to 4 investors), Memorabilia Registry Corp. (Phoenix, AZ — computers — 2009) and First Trace, Inc. (Phoenix, AZ — computers — 2009).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 3 separate companies raised money with this person listed as director. Across those companies the filings report $205K sold in total.

Listed alongside Lanny R Lang (4 shared filings), Albert B Whipple (2 shared filings), Brian K Williamson (2 shared filings), Richard C Kim (2 shared filings) and Terry L Simpson (2 shared filings).

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.

All 3 issuers belong to the sponsor group Dynamic (3 issuers, $205K reported sold, 2009).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Dynamic has 3 companies on file and $205K reported sold in total — the group page shows the whole track record in one place.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 6 SEC releases listed in Key records below.

What this means 6 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 4 public filings for Michael S Williams and found 7 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 245 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

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

Worth asking · Aug 1, 2008 – Apr 3, 2009

Form D filed 245 days after the first sale — Dynamic Biometric Systems, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Aug 1, 2008. The Form D was filed Apr 3, 2009 — 245 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 230 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 · Aug 1, 2008 – Apr 3, 2009

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Dynamic Biometric Systems, Inc. (latest filing Apr 3, 2009)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Apr 3, 2009 (first sale Aug 1, 2008). It reports $205,000 sold of $2,000,000 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 · Oct 14, 2009 – Oct 1, 2026

Same name, different state: "Michael Williams" (NY) is a separate record

What this means Two records with one name were active at the same time. That can be one person listing different company addresses, or two different people. 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.

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).
