The short version

Stephen Bauer is listed as an executive officer on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Mar 2010: Path Labs, LLC (Carmichael, CA — other health care — 2010; $2.5M reported sold to 20 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Mar 2010. 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 C. Jason Payne (1 shared filing), Oliver Stanton (1 shared filing) and Peter Kolbeck (1 shared filing).

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

The issuer belongs to the sponsor group Path Labs (2 issuers, $3M reported sold, 2010–2011).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Path Labs has 2 companies on file and $3M reported sold in total — the group page shows the whole track record in one place.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 1 SEC release, 21 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 22 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 Stephen Bauer and found 1 difference: Same name, different state: "Stephen R. Bauer" (MD) is a separate record.

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

1 difference found between the filings for Stephen Bauer (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Jul 8, 2009 – Nov 24, 2025

Same name, different state: "Stephen R. Bauer" (MD) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA. A separate record, "Stephen R. Bauer" with address state MD, is listed on 18 filings — most recently by TRUFFLE HOUND GLOBAL VALUE, LLC (Nov 24, 2025). Both records have filings in the same period (Mar 25, 2010).

What this means Two records with one name were active at the same time. That can be one person listing different company addresses, or two different people. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

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

"Paid to sell it" = sales compensation recipients named on that filing (Item 12), each linked to FINRA BrokerCheck when a CRD number is reported.
