Comparisons cover issuers and sponsor groups — see the issuer pages under Deals
7 differences found between the filings for VIKAS RANJAN — 2 worth asking about (compared 8 filings on Oct 24, 2026)
United States Bankruptcy Court, C.D. California docket "Cale B Thomas" filed Apr 23, 2002, closed Aug 21, 2002. Cale Thomas (listed on the same filings) is listed as Debtor ("Cale B Thomas"). Our match estimate: 70%.
What this means A bankruptcy filing was found. Many are old or personal and have nothing to do with the deal — but ask what it was and when it closed.
The May 29, 2024 filing says $150,512 sold; the Aug 28, 2024 Form D/A says $49,680 sold — $100,832 less.
What this means Amounts sold normally only go up as a raise continues. A drop can mean investors were refunded, a figure was corrected, or an earlier number was wrong. Ask the sponsor which it was.
The May 29, 2024 filing reports 2 investors; the Aug 28, 2024 Form D/A reports 1 investor.
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.

(latest filing Mar 13, 2025) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Alset Capital Inc. (latest filing Aug 28, 2024) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Vortex Metals Inc.

(latest filing Mar 28, 2024) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Alset Capital Inc. (latest filing Dec 11, 2023)
What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. Ask the sponsor which of these raises have closed.
The May 29, 2024 filing says $270,758 offered; the Aug 28, 2024 Form D/A says $89,370.
What this means The target raise got smaller. That can mean the plan shrank or the sponsor stopped early. Ask what changed in the deal.
"Other Energy" (May 9, 2024); then "Other" (Jan 27, 2025 to Jan 16, 2026).
What this means The issuer described its business differently on different forms. Often it is just a different box ticked; sometimes the deal itself changed. Ask which business your money is in.
This page covers filings where the address state is A1. A separate record, "Vikas Ranjan" with address state A0 or NJ, is listed on 2 filings — most recently by COMPREHENSIVE HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS INC. (CANADA) (Apr 17, 2025). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Dec 11, 2023 to Jan 16, 2026; the other has one filing dated Nov 10, 2021.
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: 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.

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.
