The short version

Stephen Read is listed as an executive officer and director on 7 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Nov 2011 and Mar 2018: SCORE TECHNOLOGIES INC. (Walla Walla, WA — industry reported as "Other" — 2011–2014; $400K reported sold to 4 investors) and ScoreSoft, Inc. (Dalton Gardens, ID — other technology — 2018).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 7 years. Across those companies the filings report $400K sold in total.

Listed alongside John P. Ryan (6 shared filings), Howard Crosby (3 shared filings) and Andrea Letzring (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.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 4 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 4 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 7 public filings for Stephen Read and found 9 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: 5 Form Ds were filed more than 15 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

9 differences found between the filings for Stephen Read — 1 worth asking about (compared 7 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Jun 1, 2011 – Jun 23, 2014

5 Form Ds were filed more than 15 days after the first sale

Form D filed 62 days after the first sale — SCORE TECHNOLOGIES INC. · Form D filed 159 days after the first sale — SCORE TECHNOLOGIES INC. · Form D filed 24 days after the first sale — SCORE TECHNOLOGIES INC. · Form D filed 21 days after the first sale — SCORE TECHNOLOGIES INC. · Form D filed 52 days after the first sale — SCORE TECHNOLOGIES INC.

What this means Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves. A pattern of late paperwork is worth asking the sponsor about.

Offering amount changed between filings — SCORE TECHNOLOGIES INC.

The Jun 23, 2014 filing says $1,500,000 offered; the Oct 9, 2014 Form D/A says $2,500,000.

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.

Same name, different state: "Stephen Read" (TX) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is SC or ID. A separate record, "Stephen Read" with address state TX, is listed on 9 filings — most recently by HIT Income LLC (Apr 7, 2025). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Nov 7, 2011 to Jun 4, 2012; the other runs Apr 23, 2018 to Apr 7, 2025.

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.

The people listed on the Jun 4, 2012 filing give Hilton Head, SC; on the Jun 23, 2014 filing they give Coeur D'Alene, ID.

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.

SC on 4 filings (Nov 7, 2011 to Jun 4, 2012); ID on 3 filings (Jun 23, 2014 to Mar 16, 2018).

What this means The address on a Form D is usually the company's, not the person's home, so this often just reflects different companies. It can also mean a move. Nothing wrong by itself.

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).
