Data last updated Oct 23, 2026, 5:45 PM ET · Courts (RECAP) last checked: Oct 24, 2026, 2:22 AM ET · SEC enforcement last checked: covered by the index scan as of Oct 24, 2026, 2:50 AM ET

The short version

Stephen Smith is listed as a promoter on 4 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Oct 2010 and Jan 2012: SWIIM System, Ltd. (Denver, CO — industry reported as "Other" — 2010–2012; $1.5M reported sold to 6 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC. 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 David Cohen (4 shared filings), Ed Warner (4 shared filings), Kevin France (4 shared filings), Robert Stollar (4 shared filings) and Ryan Gahagan (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 Swiim (2 issuers, $1.19M reported sold, 2009–2018).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Swiim has 2 companies on file and $1.19M 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) — none found.

What this means Nothing turned up where we looked (3 sources). That does not prove there is nothing — it means none was found in those sources on that date.

We compared 4 public filings for Stephen Smith and found 7 differences: Form D filed 57 days after the first sale; 4 offerings have no amendment in the last 12 months and may still be open; 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

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

Note · Apr 26, 2011 – Jun 22, 2011

Form D filed 57 days after the first sale — SWIIM System, Ltd.

The filing says the first sale was Apr 26, 2011. The Form D was filed Jun 22, 2011 — 57 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 42 days past that.

What this means A late notice is common and carries no penalty by itself. It is worth asking the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Sources
Note · Sep 30, 2010 – Jan 18, 2012

4 offerings have no amendment in the last 12 months and may still be open

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — SWIIM System, Ltd. (latest filing Jan 18, 2012) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — SWIIM System, Ltd. (latest filing Oct 28, 2011) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — SWIIM System, Ltd. (latest filing Jun 22, 2011) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — SWIIM System, Ltd. (latest filing Oct 14, 2010)

What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. Ask the sponsor which of these raises have closed.

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).
