The short version

MICHAEL STEMPLER is listed as a director on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Sep 2009: Xerxes Capital Corp. (Burke, VA — investing — 2009; $300K reported sold to 3 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Sep 2009. 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 DAVID MCELHANEY (1 shared filing), DJAMSHID FOROUGHI (1 shared filing), ERIC SIEGEL (1 shared filing), JOHN HEARTON (1 shared filing), Khash Montazami (1 shared filing) and 1 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.

The issuer belongs to the sponsor group Xerxes (2 issuers, $500K reported sold, 2009).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Xerxes has 2 companies on file and $500K 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 court cases matching the name, 1 bankruptcy case matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 7 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 STEMPLER and found 1 difference: 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

1 difference found between the filings for MICHAEL STEMPLER (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Sep 12, 2009 – Sep 24, 2009

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Xerxes Capital Corp. (latest filing Sep 24, 2009)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Sep 24, 2009 (first sale Sep 12, 2009). It reports $300,000 sold of $25,000,000 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
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 1 offering report sales commissions; 0 report finder's fees; 1 reports proceeds to related persons totalling $250,000. (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).

None of the 1 issuer this person is listed on appears in Form ADV (searched 24,962 advisers as of Oct 2, 2026). A person is never an adviser firm; Form ADV is checked for the issuers and the management companies they are listed with.
