Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 4 court cases matching the name, 9 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 13 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 Eugene Grin and found 4 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: Paid seller listed without a CRD number: GG&G Consulting LLC; Paid seller listed without a CRD number: Sabrina Capital Corp; 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

4 differences found between the filings for Eugene Grin — 2 worth asking about (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Mar 16, 2009

Paid seller listed without a CRD number: GG&G Consulting LLC — Valens US Fund LLC

GG&G Consulting LLC is listed as receiving sales compensation on 1 filing (Mar 16, 2009) with no FINRA CRD number given.

What this means People paid to sell securities normally hold a FINRA registration with a CRD number. Without one we cannot look them up on BrokerCheck. Ask who they are and whether they are registered.

Note · May 18, 2007 – Mar 16, 2009

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Valens US Fund LLC (latest filing Mar 16, 2009)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Mar 16, 2009 (first sale May 18, 2007). It reports $190,547,009 sold of an indefinite amount 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.

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).
