The short version

Michael Scheu is listed as an executive officer on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Apr 2024: Straus Family Creamery, Inc. (Petaluma, CA — manufacturing — 2024; $23M reported sold to 4 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Apr 2024. 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 Albert I Straus (1 shared filing), Blair Kellison (1 shared filing), Robert Boyd (1 shared filing), Stephen Hohenrieder (1 shared filing), Sue Conley (1 shared filing) and 2 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 (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) — 6 court cases matching the name, 12 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 18 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 Scheu and found 2 differences: Bankruptcy case: FCC National Bank/First Card v. Kellison; No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open.

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

2 differences found between the filings for Michael Scheu (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Dec 30, 1998 – Jun 11, 1999

Bankruptcy case: FCC National Bank/First Card v. Kellison — filed Dec 30, 1998

United States Bankruptcy Court, E.D. California docket "FCC National Bank/First Card v. Kellison" filed Dec 30, 1998, closed Jun 11, 1999. Blair Kellison (listed on the same filings) is listed as Defendant ("Kellison"). Our match estimate: 62%.

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.

Docket · United States Bankruptcy Court, E.D. California ↗Blair Kellison — PartnerFacts page ↗

Sources

Note · Apr 9, 2024 – Apr 16, 2024

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Straus Family Creamery, Inc. (latest filing Apr 16, 2024)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Apr 16, 2024 (first sale Apr 9, 2024). It reports $23,017,371 sold of $23,167,369 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. As of Oct 24, 2026.

5. Money to insiders

1 of 1 offering reports sales commissions totalling $308,750; 0 report finder's fees; 0 report proceeds to related persons. (includes amounts the issuer reported as estimates)

Offering (latest filing)	Sales commissions	Finder's fees	To insiders	Paid to sell it	Source
Apr 16, 2024 D Straus Family Creamery, Inc. File 021-510677	$308,750 (est.)	$0	$0 All proceeds shall be used as working capital.	Rodney Clark BrokerCheck CRD 2692760 ↗ via StillPoint Capital, LLC (CRD 133146 ↗) Ian Malone BrokerCheck CRD 4433546 ↗ via StillPoint Capital, LLC (CRD 133146 ↗)	EDGAR ↗

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).
