The short version

Tom Steipp is listed as an executive officer and director on 3 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between May 2010 and May 2017: NES Financial Corp (San Jose, CA — industry reported as "Other" — 2010–2017; $2.73M reported sold to 27 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 Barry C.L. Fernald (3 shared filings), Dan Yoder (3 shared filings), Michael P. Halloran (3 shared filings), Rick Garibaldi (3 shared filings) and Mike West (1 shared filing).

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Tom. 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) — 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 3 public filings for Tom Steipp and found 6 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 133 days after the first sale; Form D filed 61 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

6 differences found between the filings for Tom Steipp — 2 worth asking about (compared 3 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Dec 30, 2016 – May 12, 2017

Form D filed 133 days after the first sale — NES Financial Corp

The filing says the first sale was Dec 30, 2016. The Form D was filed May 12, 2017 — 133 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 118 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
Worth asking · Dec 30, 2011 – Feb 29, 2012

Form D filed 61 days after the first sale — NES Financial Corp

The filing says the first sale was Dec 30, 2011. The Form D was filed Feb 29, 2012 — 61 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 46 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.

Note · Mar 30, 2010 – May 11, 2010

Form D filed 42 days after the first sale — NES Financial Corp

The filing says the first sale was Mar 30, 2010. The Form D was filed May 11, 2010 — 42 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 27 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 · Feb 29, 2012 – May 12, 2017

Tom Steipp's role changed at NES Financial Corp: director → executive officer, director

The Feb 29, 2012 filing lists Tom Steipp as director; the May 12, 2017 Form D lists executive officer, director.

What this means Roles on Form D are self-reported by the issuer. A change can mean a real change in who runs the company, or just a different box ticked. Ask who makes decisions today.

Sources
Note · Dec 30, 2011 – Feb 29, 2012

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — NES Financial Corp (latest filing Feb 29, 2012)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Feb 29, 2012 (first sale Dec 30, 2011). It reports $1,005,000 sold of $3,000,000 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.

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.

5. Money to insiders

"Paid to sell it" = sales compensation recipients named on that filing (Item 12), each linked to FINRA BrokerCheck when a CRD number is reported.
