The short version

Ben Ealey is listed as an executive officer and director on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Dec 2017: TacSat Networks, Inc. (Santa Clara, CA — telecommunications — 2017; $384K reported sold to 10 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Dec 2017. 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 Brad Klemek (1 shared filing) and Nebenzahl Scott (1 shared filing).

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Ben. 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) — 10 court cases matching the name, 11 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 21 records came back, including 3 court cases 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 Ben Ealey and found 2 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 227 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

2 differences found between the filings for Ben Ealey — 1 worth asking about (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Apr 24, 2017 – Dec 7, 2017

Form D filed 227 days after the first sale — TacSat Networks, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Apr 24, 2017. The Form D was filed Dec 7, 2017 — 227 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 212 days past that.

What this means The notice went in months after money was taken in. Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves, but it is fair to ask the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Form D · Dec 7, 2017 ↗TacSat Networks, Inc. — PartnerFacts page ↗
Sources
Note · Apr 24, 2017 – Dec 7, 2017

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — TacSat Networks, Inc. (latest filing Dec 7, 2017)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Dec 7, 2017 (first sale Apr 24, 2017). It reports $384,000 sold of $2,000,000 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.

Form D · Dec 7, 2017 ↗TacSat Networks, Inc. — PartnerFacts page ↗
Sources
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

0 of 1 offering report sales commissions; 0 report finder's fees; 1 reports proceeds to related persons totalling $200,000. (includes amounts the issuer reported as estimates)

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.
