The short version

William Schutze is listed as a director on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Apr 2009: Galaxy Media & Marketing Corp. (White Plains, NY — industry reported as "Other" — 2009; $4.47M reported sold to 65 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Apr 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 Frank Del Vecchio (1 shared filing), Kai D Patterson (1 shared filing), Milton Markis (1 shared filing), Milton Murphy (1 shared filing), Robert Christie (1 shared filing) and 2 others.

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), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, LA, ME, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, NH, NM, OR, RI, TX, WA) — 3 court cases matching the name, 6 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 9 records came back, including 1 court case 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 1 public filing for William Schutze and found 4 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: 4 bankruptcy cases name the subject or team members; 3 court cases name William Schutze; 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.

Note · Apr 23, 2010

William Schutze appears on 1 deal that stopped filing before reaching its target

Galaxy Media & Marketing Corp. (last filing Apr 23, 2010; $4,470,000 sold of $13,778,500). Each has no filing in more than two years and reported under half its target sold.

What this means An issuer whose last filing is more than two years old and reported under half its target sold. The raise may have closed early or quietly stopped. Ask what happened to each.

Note · Mar 25, 2009 – Apr 9, 2009

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Galaxy Media & Marketing Corp. (latest filing Apr 9, 2009)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Apr 9, 2009 (first sale Mar 25, 2009). It reports $4,470,000 sold of $13,778,500 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.

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).
