The short version

Ryan Buckley is listed as an executive officer, director, and promoter on 6 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Sep 2009 and Jan 2025: Scripted, Inc.

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, director, and promoter, over about 16 years. Across those companies the filings report $15.4M sold in total.

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

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 6 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 6 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 Ryan Buckley and found 10 differences, 4 worth asking the sponsor about: Amount sold went down between filings; Investor count went down between filings; 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

10 differences found between the filings for Ryan Buckley — 4 worth asking about (compared 6 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Sep 3, 2009

Amount sold went down between filings — Scripted, Inc.

The Sep 3, 2009 filing says $54,274 sold; the Sep 3, 2009 Form D says $0 sold — $54,274 less.

What this means Amounts sold normally only go up as a raise continues. A drop can mean investors were refunded, a figure was corrected, or an earlier number was wrong. Ask the sponsor which it was.

Sources
Worth asking · Sep 3, 2009

Investor count went down between filings — Scripted, Inc.

The Sep 3, 2009 filing reports 5 investors; the Sep 3, 2009 Form D reports 0 investors.

What this means Investor counts normally only grow. A smaller number can mean investors left or were refunded, or a count was corrected. Ask the sponsor what happened.

Sources
Worth asking · Aug 1, 2008 – Sep 3, 2009

Form D filed 398 days after the first sale — Scripted, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Aug 1, 2008. The Form D was filed Sep 3, 2009 — 398 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 383 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.

Sources
Worth asking · Oct 24, 2007 – Sep 3, 2009

Form D filed 680 days after the first sale — Scripted, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Oct 24, 2007. The Form D was filed Sep 3, 2009 — 680 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 665 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.

Sources
Note · Dec 19, 2024 – Jan 17, 2025

Form D filed 29 days after the first sale — Shovels, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Dec 19, 2024. The Form D was filed Jan 17, 2025 — 29 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 14 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.

Sources
Note · Nov 30, 2011 – Nov 24, 2014

Ryan Buckley's role changed at Scripted, Inc.: executive officer, director, promoter → executive officer, director

The Nov 30, 2011 filing lists Ryan Buckley as executive officer, director, promoter; the Nov 24, 2014 Form D lists executive officer, director.

What this means Roles on Form D are self-reported by the issuer. A change can mean a real change in who runs the company, or just a different box ticked. Ask who makes decisions today.

Sources
Note · Sep 3, 2009

Offering amount changed between filings — Scripted, Inc.

The Sep 3, 2009 filing says $100,000 offered; the Sep 3, 2009 Form D says $352,050.

What this means The target raise changed. Raising the cap is common when a deal grows; ask whether the extra money has the same terms and use.

Sources
Note · Sep 3, 2009

Offering amount lowered between filings — Scripted, Inc.

The Sep 3, 2009 filing says $352,050 offered; the Sep 3, 2009 Form D says $300,000.

What this means The target raise got smaller. That can mean the plan shrank or the sponsor stopped early. Ask what changed in the deal.

Sources
Note · Oct 24, 2007 – Jan 17, 2025

4 offerings have no amendment in the last 12 months and may still be open

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Shovels, Inc. (latest filing Jan 17, 2025) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Scripted, Inc. (latest filing Nov 24, 2014) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Scripted, Inc. (latest filing Nov 30, 2011) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Scripted, Inc. (latest filing Sep 3, 2009)

What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. Ask the sponsor which of these raises have closed.

Sources
Note · Sep 3, 2009 – Nov 30, 2011

Address moved from Saratoga, CA to San Francisco, CA — Scripted, Inc.

The people listed on the Sep 3, 2009 filing give Saratoga, CA; on the Nov 30, 2011 filing they give San Francisco, CA.

What this means Businesses move; this just shows the two places and dates. If you were told one city and the forms say another, ask which is current.

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.

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).
