The short version

Michael Schuck is listed as a director on 3 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Jun 2009 and Oct 2014: Zoola, Inc. (Denver, CO — industry reported as "Other" — 2009–2014; $500K reported sold to 12 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC. 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 Edward Sutton Manners (2 shared filings), William Cunningham (2 shared filings), Ajmal Rahman (1 shared filing), Doug Payne (1 shared filing), Gary Hamilton (1 shared filing) and 7 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) — 8 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 8 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 Schuck and found 9 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: 400% of the money raised went to insiders; Form D filed 1,620 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

9 differences found between the filings for Michael Schuck — 2 worth asking about (compared 3 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Dec 23, 2014 – Aug 2, 2019

Bankruptcy case: Zoola, Inc. — filed Dec 23, 2014

United States Bankruptcy Court, D. Colorado docket "Zoola, Inc." filed Dec 23, 2014, closed Aug 2, 2019. Zoola, Inc. (related issuer) is listed as Debtor ("Zoola, Inc."). Our match estimate: 60%.

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
Worth asking · Dec 15, 2011

400% of the money raised went to insiders — Zoola, Inc.

The Dec 15, 2011 Form D reports $50,000 sold and $200,000 of the proceeds used for payments to officers, directors or promoters (marked as an estimate). Issuer's note: "A portion of the proceeds wil be used to pay Michael Schuck consulting fees that are owed to him.".

What this means The filing reports how much of the money raised was paid to insiders. Over 10% is high for most deals. Ask what it paid for.

Sources
Note · Oct 9, 2014

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

Zoola, Inc. (last filing Oct 9, 2014; $500,000 sold of $10,500,000). 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
Worth asking · Jan 14, 2005 – Jun 22, 2009

Form D filed 1,620 days after the first sale — Zoola, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Jan 14, 2005. The Form D was filed Jun 22, 2009 — 1,620 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 1,605 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 · Sep 25, 2014 – Oct 9, 2014

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Zoola, Inc. (latest filing Oct 9, 2014)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Oct 9, 2014 (first sale Sep 25, 2014). It reports $50,000 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 · Dec 12, 2011 – Dec 15, 2011

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Zoola, Inc. (latest filing Dec 15, 2011)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Dec 15, 2011 (first sale Dec 12, 2011). It reports $50,000 sold of $4,000,000 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 · Jan 14, 2005 – Jun 22, 2009

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Zoola, Inc. (latest filing Jun 22, 2009)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jun 22, 2009 (first sale Jan 14, 2005). It reports $500,000 sold of $10,000,000 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 · Jun 22, 2009

Formed in 2013 per the latest filing, but activity is dated 2005 — Zoola, Inc.

The issuer's latest filing says it was formed in 2013. The Jun 22, 2009 filing says the first sale was Jan 14, 2005 — before that year.

What this means A company cannot sell before it exists, so one of the two dates is likely a typo on the form. Ask the sponsor for the formation document.

Sources
Note · Dec 15, 2011 – Oct 9, 2014

Address moved from Denver, CO to Wilmington, DE — Zoola, Inc.

The people listed on the Dec 15, 2011 filing give Denver, CO; on the Oct 9, 2014 filing they give Wilmington, DE. The address now on file (999 18th St., Suite 2250, Denver, CO) is a registered-agent or shared-office address used by 25 issuers.

What this means A registered agent's address is a mailbox, not where the team works. Ask where the business actually operates.

Sources
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 3 offerings report sales commissions; 0 report finder's fees; 1 reports proceeds to related persons totalling $200,000. (includes amounts the issuer reported as estimates)

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).
