What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Jul 2018. 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 Benjamin. Each name links to their own page.

The issuer belongs to the sponsor group Group linked by Barry Curtiss-Lusher (5 issuers, $6.57M reported sold, 2009–2018).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Group linked by Barry Curtiss-Lusher has 5 companies on file and $6.57M reported sold in total — the group page shows the whole track record in one place.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 9 court cases matching the name, 9 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below. Not yet searched: SEC enforcement releases.

What this means 18 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.
