The short version

Gil Kerman is listed as an executive officer on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Jun 2022: Patch Organics, Inc. (Norwalk, CT — retailing — 2022; $205K reported sold to 4 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Jun 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 Patricia Trongone (1 shared filing).

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Gil. 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) — 9 court cases matching the name, 11 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 20 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 Gil Kerman and found 2 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 222 days after the first sale; 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 Gil Kerman — 1 worth asking about (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Nov 12, 2021 – Jun 22, 2022

Form D filed 222 days after the first sale — Patch Organics, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Nov 12, 2021. The Form D was filed Jun 22, 2022 — 222 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 207 days past that.

What this means The notice went in months after money was taken in. Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves, but it is fair to ask the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Sources
Note · Nov 12, 2021 – Jun 22, 2022

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Patch Organics, Inc. (latest filing Jun 22, 2022)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jun 22, 2022 (first sale Nov 12, 2021). It reports $205,000 sold of $800,000 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.

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.

5. Money to insiders

None reported on 1 offering — no sales commissions, finder's fees or proceeds to insiders
