Listed alongside Andrew Prozes (3 shared filings), Gill Cogan (3 shared filings), Kevin Talbot (3 shared filings), Rodger Desai (3 shared filings), Stuart Ellman (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 (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) — 3 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 3 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 Spadafore and found 3 differences: No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open; Same name, different state: "Michael Spadafore" (MI) 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

3 differences found between the filings for Michael Spadafore (compared 4 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Jan 20, 2023 – Feb 3, 2023

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Fort Health, Inc. (latest filing Feb 3, 2023)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Feb 3, 2023 (first sale Jan 20, 2023). It reports $8,750,000 sold of $8,999,999 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 · Jun 4, 2020 – Jun 19, 2020

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Prove Identity, Inc. (latest filing Jun 19, 2020)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jun 19, 2020 (first sale Jun 4, 2020). It reports $91,779,882 sold of $96,281,665 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 · Nov 5, 2020 – Oct 26, 2021

Same name, different state: "Michael Spadafore" (MI) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is NY. A separate record, "Michael Spadafore" with address state MI, is listed on 2 filings — most recently by Workit Health, Inc. (Oct 26, 2021). Both records have filings in the same period (Nov 5, 2020 to Oct 26, 2021).

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.

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

"Paid to sell it" = sales compensation recipients named on that filing (Item 12), each linked to FINRA BrokerCheck when a CRD number is reported.
