Data last updated Oct 23, 2026, 5:45 PM ET · Courts (RECAP) last checked: Oct 24, 2026, 2:51 AM ET · SEC enforcement last checked: covered by the index scan as of Oct 24, 2026, 2:50 AM ET

The short version

Douglas Manner is listed as an executive officer and director on 2 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Jan 2022 and Mar 2022: Sintana Energy Inc. (Toronto, Ontario, Canada (as filed: A6) — industry reported as "Other" — 2022; $3.48M reported sold to 7 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Mar 2022. 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 BRUNO MARUZZO (2 shared filings), Carmelo Marrelli (2 shared filings), David Cherry (2 shared filings), Dean Gendron (2 shared filings), Keith Spickelmier (2 shared filings) and 2 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Douglas. 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) — 12 court cases matching the name, 6 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

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.

We compared 2 public filings for Douglas Manner and found 1 difference: No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open.

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

1 difference found between the filings for Douglas Manner (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Mar 8, 2022 – Mar 18, 2022

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Sintana Energy Inc. (latest filing Mar 18, 2022)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Mar 18, 2022 (first sale Mar 8, 2022). It reports $3,482,303 sold of $9,286,141 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 · Mar 18, 2022 ↗Sintana Energy 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.

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.

Counted across every filing this person is listed on (latest filing per offering, per issuer).
