Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, DE, FINRA, FL, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 4 SEC releases, 12 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.
What this means 16 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 13 public filings for JOHN GORDON BENNETT and found 8 differences, 3 worth asking the sponsor about: Regulator action: John G. Bennett and Foundation for New Era Philanthropy (Feb 5, 1998); JOHN GORDON BENNETT is no longer listed on the Mar 11, 2015 amendment; 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.

8 differences found between the filings for JOHN GORDON BENNETT — 3 worth asking about (compared 13 filings on Oct 24, 2026)
An SEC litigation release dated Feb 5, 1998 names JOHN GORDON BENNETT. Our match estimate: 44%. The release is the source; we do not summarize its outcome here.
What this means A regulator filed or announced an action naming this person or company (or someone on the same filings). Read the release; ask the sponsor what it was and how it ended.
The latest filing for this offering is dated Oct 27, 2011 (first sale Aug 26, 2010). It reports $38,457,627 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.
JOHN GORDON BENNETT appears on the Dec 18, 2013 Form D/A (executive officer) but not on the Mar 11, 2015 Form D/A for the same offering.
What this means People leave, and the issuer must list only current officers, directors and promoters. It is still worth asking why this person left and who replaced them.

What this means People leave, and the issuer must list only current officers, directors and promoters. It is still worth asking why this person left and who replaced them.
This page covers filings where the address state is NJ or CT. A separate record, "John Bennett" with address state GA, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by USSC WINDCREST SUMMIT, LLC (May 13, 2019). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Oct 26, 2010 to Dec 18, 2013; the other has one filing dated May 13, 2019.
What this means Could be the same person who moved, or two people with the same name. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.
This page covers filings where the address state is NJ or CT. A separate record, "John Bennett" with address state NC, is listed on 10 filings — most recently by WATERFRONT LAND INVESTMENTS FUND I LP (Jun 27, 2017). Both records have filings in the same period (Jul 14, 2011 to Dec 18, 2013).
What this means Two records with one name were active at the same time. That can be one person listing different company addresses, or two different people. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.
Address moved from Norwalk, CT to San Antonio, TX — THB SMALLCAP FUND, LLC · Address moved from Saddle Brook, NJ to Norwalk, CT — THB SMALLCAP FUND, LLC · Address moved from Saddle Brook, NJ to Norwalk, CT — THB MICROCAP FUND, LLC · Address moved from Saddle Brook, NJ to Norwalk, CT — THB ENHANCED ALPHA FUND, LLC
What this means Businesses move. If you were told one city and the forms say another, ask which is current.
NJ on 3 filings (Sep 10, 2010 to Sep 10, 2010); CT on 10 filings (Oct 26, 2010 to Dec 18, 2013).
What this means The address on a Form D is usually the company's, not the person's home, so this often just reflects different companies. It can also mean a move. Nothing wrong by itself.
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.
