The short version

Nicholas Cook is listed as a director on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in May 2012: Culture Jam, Inc. (Los Angeles, CA — other technology — 2012; $1.2M reported sold to 7 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed May 2012. 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 Amanda MacNaughton (1 shared filing) and Matthew MacNaughton (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), 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) — 11 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 11 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 Nicholas Cook and found 3 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Bankruptcy case: Nicholas G. Cook; 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 Nicholas Cook — 1 worth asking about (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Oct 25, 2013 – Mar 29, 2019

Bankruptcy case: Nicholas G. Cook — filed Oct 25, 2013

United States Bankruptcy Court, C.D. California docket "Nicholas G. Cook" filed Oct 25, 2013, closed Mar 29, 2019. Nicholas Cook is listed as Debtor ("Nicholas G. Cook"). Our match estimate: 44%.

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
Note · Mar 19, 2012 – May 1, 2012

Form D filed 43 days after the first sale — Culture Jam, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Mar 19, 2012. The Form D was filed May 1, 2012 — 43 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 28 days past that.

What this means A late notice is common and carries no penalty by itself. It is worth asking the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Note · Oct 13, 2015 – Aug 21, 2020

Same name, different state: "Nicholas Cook" (A1) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA. A separate record, "Nicholas Cook" with address state A1, is listed on 16 filings — most recently by Southern Cross Gold Consolidated Ltd. (Aug 21, 2020). The two records do not overlap in time: this page has one filing dated May 1, 2012; the other runs Oct 13, 2015 to Aug 21, 2020.

What this means Could be the same person who moved, or two people with the same name. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

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.
