Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 17 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 17 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.

We compared 2 public filings for Benjamin Sharp and found 2 differences: No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open; 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 Benjamin Sharp (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Feb 24, 2011 – Feb 25, 2011

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Capture Wines LLC (latest filing Feb 25, 2011)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Feb 25, 2011 (first sale Feb 24, 2011). It reports $149,875 sold of $500,000 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.

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jan 28, 2011 (first sale Jan 20, 2011). It reports $175,000 sold of $1,400,000 offered. No later amendment is in our index as of Oct 24, 2026.

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.
