EDGAR and SEC documents everywhere state that the CIK number is unqiue to individuals and entities and used to differentiate between individuals and entitites with the same or similar names. http://www.sedaredgar.com/edgar/codes.php

An EDGAR link like this one (http://yahoo.brand.edgar-online.com/PeopleFilingResults.aspx?PersonID=2779602), has a PersonID entry which corresponds to something in EDGAR's database. Whether it is a match to the CIK or not is unknown.

If PersonID was not unique, then there would be no reason to have that field. You would run a search for "Bob Smith" and it would return all the Bob Smith's based on first name and last name fields. The only reason to have PersonID is to differentiate between unique individuals.

Since the PersonID corresponding to the High Plain's Stan Larson, also shows the filings for Trudy and other of Stan's companys, why do you believe the Trudy Stan is not the same as the High Plain's Stan?

Do you think PersonID or CIK are not unique? If so, why have we not heard about it before? Non-unique ID's are the bane of every database because they defeat the purpose of having a database in the first place.

Do you think fraud is occurring and someone is using High Plains Stan's CIK, CCC, and password to impersonate him? If so, why have we not heard about it? Certainly one of High Plain's Stan's buddies, family, or attorney would have corrected this.

Do you think EDGAR made a mistake in the filing and associated it with the wrong Stan? (Hard to do since the filing is attached to the filer and the filer must validate their identity with the CIK,CCC, and password).
