The short version

Robert Hiam is listed as a director on 6 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Apr 2010 and Sep 2014: TISSUE GENESIS INC. (Honolulu, HI — biotechnology — 2010–2014; $7.74M reported sold to 53 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 Anton C. Krucky (5 shared filings), Michael Ruley (5 shared filings), Paul Kosnik (5 shared filings), Thomas Cannon (5 shared filings), Bradley Perkins (3 shared filings) and 6 others.

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

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, LA, ME, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, NH, NM, OR, RI, TX, WA) — 5 court cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 5 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 6 public filings for Robert Hiam and found 7 differences, 3 worth asking the sponsor about: 4 court cases name Robert Hiam; Form D filed 376 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.

Worth asking · Mar 12, 2012 – Feb 19, 2016

By role: plaintiff in 2, defendant in 2. Newest: "Hiam v. Homeaway,com, Inc." (District Court, D. Massachusetts, Feb 19, 2016); "Samuel T. Freeman & Co. v. Hiam" (District Court, D. Massachusetts, Jun 28, 2012); "SAMUEL T. FREEMAN & CO. v. HIAM" (District Court, E.D. Pennsylvania, Mar 19, 2012). Some of these are name matches with a match estimate below 95% — check each docket.

24% of the money raised went to insiders — TISSUE GENESIS INC.

The Sep 3, 2014 Form D reports $500,000 sold and $120,000 of the proceeds used for payments to officers, directors or promoters (marked as an estimate).

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.

Form D filed 376 days after the first sale — TISSUE GENESIS INC.

The filing says the first sale was Jun 30, 2010. The Form D was filed Jul 11, 2011 — 376 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 361 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.

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.

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).
