The short version

William M. Pedersen is listed as an executive officer on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Jan 2014: NEXTRACTION ENERGY CORP. (Calgary, Alberta, Canada (as filed: A0) — oil and gas — 2014; $732K reported sold to 9 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Jan 2014. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment — it is a notice, not an approval.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around William. Each name links to their own page.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 13 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below. Not yet searched: SEC enforcement releases.

What this means 13 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.

Key records

Five things investors ask first. Items still in human review are counted, not shown.

1. Lawsuits

None found in sources searched

Washington (dw.courts.wa.gov; bulk index reports under a JISC data-dissemination agreement), Delaware (CourtConnect; Court of Chancery not included) and Arizona (apps.azcourts.gov/publicaccess, which has an official channel to request high-volume access) are the candidates; PartnerFacts will request written permission before any automated search.
