Data last updated Oct 23, 2026, 5:45 PM ET · Courts (RECAP) last checked: Oct 24, 2026, 2:30 AM ET · SEC enforcement last checked: covered by the index scan as of Oct 24, 2026, 2:50 AM ET

The short version

THOMAS MANUEL is listed as an executive officer and director on 9 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Jan 2014 and Oct 2022: S & P Ingredient Development, LLC (St. Louis Park, MN — manufacturing — 2014–2022; $12.7M reported sold to 18 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 ARTHUR STICKLEY (9 shared filings), RAYMOND DERIGGI (9 shared filings), STEPHEN KEY (9 shared filings), TJERK DE RUITER (9 shared filings), Samir Kaul (6 shared filings) and 5 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) — 2 court cases matching the name, 10 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 12 records came back, including 2 court cases still open — open cases can take years and cost money. 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 9 public filings for THOMAS MANUEL and found 5 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Investor count went down between filings; 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

5 differences found between the filings for THOMAS MANUEL — 1 worth asking about (compared 9 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Dec 29, 2021

Investor count went down between filings — S & P Ingredient Development, LLC

The Dec 29, 2021 filing reports 5 investors; the Dec 29, 2021 Form D/A reports 0 investors.

What this means Investor counts normally only grow. A smaller number can mean investors left or were refunded, or a count was corrected. Ask the sponsor what happened.

Sources
Note · Dec 19, 2014 – Dec 24, 2014

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — S & P Ingredient Development, LLC (latest filing Dec 24, 2014)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Dec 24, 2014 (first sale Dec 19, 2014). It reports $995,191 sold of $26,000,031 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.

Sources
Note · Jan 3, 2014 – Jan 14, 2014

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — S & P Ingredient Development, LLC (latest filing Jan 14, 2014)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jan 14, 2014 (first sale Jan 3, 2014). It reports $12,651,217 sold of $15,000,000 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.

Sources
Note · Aug 10, 2016

Same name, different state: "Thomas L. Manuel" (NE) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is MN. A separate record, "Thomas L. Manuel" with address state NE, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by Green Plains Inc. (Aug 10, 2016). Both records have filings in the same period (Aug 10, 2016).

What this means Two records with one name were active at the same time. That can be one person listing different company addresses, or two different people. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

Sources
Note · Nov 22, 2016 – Dec 29, 2021

Address moved from Minnetonka, MN to St. Louis Park, MN — S & P Ingredient Development, LLC

The people listed on the Nov 22, 2016 filing give Minnetonka, MN; on the Dec 29, 2021 filing they give St. Louis Park, MN.

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.

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).
