The short version

Steve Buchanan is listed as an executive officer on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Feb 2010: Zoo Entertainment, Inc (Blue Ash, OH — other technology — 2010; $16.1M reported sold to 12 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Feb 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 Barry Regenstein (1 shared filing), David Fremed (1 shared filing), David Rosenbaum (1 shared filing), David Smith (1 shared filing), Drew Larner (1 shared filing) and 4 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Steve. 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) — 12 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 12 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 Steve Buchanan and found 3 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Bankruptcy case: Steve C. Buchanan and Dena J. Buchanan; 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.

Worth asking · Aug 27, 1990 – Nov 7, 1995

Sources
Note · Dec 22, 2009 – Feb 22, 2010

Offering amount changed between filings — Zoo Entertainment, Inc

The Dec 22, 2009 filing says $775,985 offered; the Feb 22, 2010 Form D says $2,622,257.

Same name, different state: "Steve Buchanan" (MT) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is OH. A separate record, "Steve Buchanan" with address state MT, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by Central Montana Resources, LLC (Jun 17, 2011). The two records do not overlap in time: this page has one filing dated Feb 22, 2010; the other has one filing dated Jun 17, 2011.

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.

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.
