The short version

Michael Testa is listed as an executive officer and director on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Jun 2022: Strongwater Viticultural Investments LBC LLC (San Luis Obispo, CA — agriculture — 2022; $2.88M reported sold to 93 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.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Michael. Each name links to their own page.

The issuer belongs to the sponsor group Strongwater Viticultural (2 issuers, $4.85M reported sold, 2022–2023).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Strongwater Viticultural has 2 companies on file and $4.85M 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) — 20 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below. Not yet searched: SEC enforcement releases.

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.
