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.

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) — 7 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 7 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 3 public filings for Stephen E. Cooper and found 6 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 387 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.

4. Differences between public sources

Comparisons cover issuers and sponsor groups — see the issuer pages under Deals

6 differences found between the filings for Stephen E. Cooper — 1 worth asking about (compared 3 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Mar 26, 2008 – Apr 17, 2009

Form D filed 387 days after the first sale — SKYLER TECHNOLOGY INC

The filing says the first sale was Mar 26, 2008. The Form D was filed Apr 17, 2009 — 387 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 372 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 · Jun 8, 2010 – Jul 19, 2010

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Active Life Scientific, Inc. (latest filing Jul 19, 2010)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jul 19, 2010 (first sale Jun 8, 2010). It reports $275,000 sold of $2,000,000 offered. No later amendment is in our index as of Oct 24, 2026.

What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. The raise may simply have ended — a Form D does not say when it closed. Ask the sponsor whether the offering closed, when, and at what amount.

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.
