The short version

Michael Ernst is listed as an executive officer on 9 SEC Form D filings by 8 issuers between May 2017 and Jun 2023. Largest by amount reported sold: RSF Partners VIII, L.P. (Dallas, TX — other real estate — 2022–2023; $500M reported sold), RSF Partners VII, L.P. (Dallas, TX — other real estate — 2017; $148.5M reported sold to 57 investors), RSF/Valor Partners, L.P.

What this means A repeat sponsor — 8 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, over about 6 years. Across those companies the filings report $725M sold in total.

All 8 issuers belong to the sponsor group Rsf (21 issuers, $843.8M reported sold, 2011–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Rsf has 21 companies on file and $843.8M reported sold in total — the group page shows the whole track record in one place.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 24 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below. Not yet searched: SEC enforcement releases (search queued; results are added automatically).

What this means 24 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.

Key records

Five things investors ask first. Items still in human review are counted, not shown.

1. Lawsuits

None found in sources searched

What was searched

Sources searched: CourtListener bulk data (RECAP dockets as of 2026-09-30; recall-first rule 10-24) — federal district + bankruptcy courts; live RECAP re-check pending. State courts: not yet searched. PACER: not searched. · Last checked Oct 24, 2026, 2:39 AM ET.

Texas (re:SearchTX) terms prohibit storing results in a database open to third parties; New York (WebCivil) and Massachusetts (MassCourts) require a browser check that blocks scripted queries; California has no statewide index (58 county portals; Rule of Court 2.503 grants name-based access case by case); Florida, Utah and Illinois offer paid or partial access whose terms for automated use are unverified. Washington (dw.courts.wa.gov; bulk index reports under a JISC data-dissemination agreement), Delaware (CourtConnect; Court of Chancery not included) and Arizona (apps.azcourts.gov/publicaccess, which has an official channel to request high-volume access) are the candidates; PartnerFacts will request written permission before any automated search. Federal courts are searched through CourtListener / RECAP.

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).

Deals 8

Every issuer that named Michael Ernst on a Form D, newest first. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment.
