The short version

Thomas J Tyson is listed as a director on 2 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Aug 2009 and Sep 2009: QUANTUM FUEL SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGIES WORLDWIDE, INC. (Lake Forest, CA — manufacturing — 2009; $12.3M reported sold to 264 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Sep 2009. 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 ALAN P NIEDZWIECKI (2 shared filings), BRADLEY J TIMON (2 shared filings), BRIAN A RUNKEL (2 shared filings), CARL E SHEFFER (2 shared filings), DALE L RASMUSSEN (2 shared filings) and 6 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Thomas. 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) — 17 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 17 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 2 public filings for Thomas J Tyson and found 1 difference: Offering amount lowered between filings.

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.

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.

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).
