The short version

Sam Lucas is listed as an executive officer and director on 2 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Mar 2020 and Jul 2020: Special Project, Inc. (Bozeman, MT — other technology — 2020; $2.26M reported sold to 9 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Jul 2020. 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 Les Craig (2 shared filings), Paul Burton (2 shared filings) and Richard Harjes (2 shared filings).

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Sam. 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) — 3 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 3 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 2 public filings for Sam Lucas and found 4 differences: Offering amount changed between filings; Industry group changed 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

4 differences found between the filings for Sam Lucas (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Mar 16, 2020 – Jul 27, 2020

Offering amount changed between filings — Special Project, Inc.

The Mar 16, 2020 filing says $2,000,000 offered; the Jul 27, 2020 Form D/A says $2,259,999.

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 · Mar 16, 2020 – Jul 27, 2020

Industry group changed between filings — Special Project, Inc.

"Computers" (Mar 16, 2020); then "Other Technology" (Jul 27, 2020).

What this means The issuer described its business differently on different forms. Often it is just a different box ticked; sometimes the deal itself changed. Ask which business your money is in.

Sources
Note · Mar 16, 2020 – Jul 27, 2020

Reported revenue range changed between filings — Special Project, Inc.

"$1 - $1,000,000" (Mar 16, 2020); then "Decline to Disclose" (Jul 27, 2020).

What this means This is the size band the issuer picks for itself on the form. A change can mean the business grew or shrank — or that it chose not to say. Ask for current numbers.

Sources
Note · Mar 16, 2020 – Jul 27, 2020

Minimum investment changed between filings — Special Project, Inc.

The Mar 16, 2020 filing lists a minimum of $50,000; the Jul 27, 2020 Form D/A lists $0.

What this means A different minimum usually means the offering terms changed. Check which terms apply to you.

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

None reported on 1 offering — no sales commissions, finder's fees or proceeds to insiders
