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 (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 14 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 14 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 Frederick and found 4 differences: No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open; Same name, different state: "Stephen Frederick" (GA) is a separate record; 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

4 differences found between the filings for Stephen Frederick (compared 3 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · May 23, 2012 – Jun 4, 2012

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — DubMeNow Inc (latest filing Jun 4, 2012)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jun 4, 2012 (first sale May 23, 2012). It reports $3,216,703 sold of $4,716,700 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.

Note · May 26, 2011 – Jun 8, 2011

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Emerging Media Group, Inc. (latest filing Jun 8, 2011)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jun 8, 2011 (first sale May 26, 2011). It reports $1,000,000 sold of $1,080,702 offered. No later amendment is in our index as of Oct 24, 2026.

Note · Mar 17, 2017 – Jun 23, 2020

Same name, different state: "Stephen Frederick" (GA) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is VA or NY. A separate record, "Stephen Frederick" with address state GA, is listed on 2 filings — most recently by Urjanet, Inc. (Jun 23, 2020). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Aug 9, 2010 to Jun 4, 2012; the other runs Mar 17, 2017 to Jun 23, 2020.

What this means Could be the same person who moved, or two people with the same name. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

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.
