California, Dec 21, 2012); "AMERIQUEST MORTGAGE v. BUGGE" (District Court, D. New Jersey, Mar 25, 2003). Some of these are name matches with a match estimate below 95% — check each docket.

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jun 17, 2009 (first sale Oct 23, 2008). It reports $1,000,000 sold of $35,000,000 offered. No later amendment is in our index as of Oct 24, 2026.

The Nov 6, 2008 filing lists a minimum of $1,000; the Jun 17, 2009 Form D lists $50,000.
What this means A different minimum usually means the offering terms changed. Check which terms apply to you.
This page covers filings where the address state is MI. A separate record, "Mark Bugge" with address state E9, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by Knighthead Holdings Ltd. (Jan 6, 2015). Both records have filings in the same period (Jan 6, 2015).
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.
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.
