The short version

Nicholas Barnes is listed as an executive officer, director, and promoter on 2 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Jan 2014 and Jan 2015: Mark One Lifestyle, Inc. (San Francisco, CA — other technology — 2014–2015; $3.02M reported sold to 9 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 Aydin Senkut (2 shared filings), Justin Lee (2 shared filings) and Bart Swanson (1 shared filing).

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Nicholas. Each name links to their own page.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 12 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below. Not yet searched: SEC enforcement releases.

What this means 12 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.
