The short version

David Benson is listed as an executive officer and director on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Nov 2012: Larkin-Summit Wind, Inc. (Luverne, MN — other energy — 2012; $324K reported sold to 24 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Nov 2012. 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 Jerry Perkins (1 shared filing), Mark Willers (1 shared filing) and Richard Lowe (1 shared filing).

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around David. Each name links to their own page.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 7 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 7 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 1 public filing for David Benson and found 6 differences: No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open; Same name, different state: "David M. Benson" (NC) is a separate record; 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

6 differences found between the filings for David Benson (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Nov 12, 2012 – Nov 13, 2012

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Larkin-Summit Wind, Inc. (latest filing Nov 13, 2012)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Nov 13, 2012 (first sale Nov 12, 2012). It reports $323,790 sold of $509,550 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.
