The short version

Larry Batman is listed as an executive officer on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Dec 2009: Bio Energy, LLC (Flowood, MS — oil and gas — 2009; $853K reported sold to 11 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Dec 2009. 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 Darryl Breland (1 shared filing), G. Thomas Sitton (1 shared filing), Kent A. Batman (1 shared filing), Reed B. Ingram (1 shared filing) and Tom Evans (1 shared filing).

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Larry. 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) — 4 court cases matching the name, 3 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 Larry Batman and found 7 differences, 4 worth asking the sponsor about: Bankruptcy case: Larry A. Batman and Koleen K. Batman; 3 court cases name Larry Batman; 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.

Larry Batman appears on 1 deal that stopped filing before reaching its target

Bio Energy, LLC (last filing Dec 23, 2013; $853,350 sold of $3,300,000). Each has no filing in more than two years and reported under half its target sold.

Larry Batman appears on the Dec 2, 2009 Form D (executive officer) but not on the Dec 23, 2013 Form D/A for the same offering.

Sources
Note · Dec 2, 2009 – Dec 23, 2013

Minimum investment changed between filings — Bio Energy, LLC

The Dec 2, 2009 filing lists a minimum of $21,000; the Dec 23, 2013 Form D/A lists $6,000.

Address moved from Pensacola, FL to Flowood, MS — Bio Energy, LLC

The people listed on the Dec 2, 2009 filing give Pensacola, FL; on the Dec 23, 2013 filing they give Flowood, MS.

What this means Businesses move; this just shows the two places and dates. If you were told one city and the forms say another, ask which is current.

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.
