The short version

Ross Tomson is listed as an executive officer and director on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Apr 2023: TerraVolta Resources, LLC (Houston, TX — other energy — 2023; $53.2M reported sold to 4 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Apr 2023. 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 Carl A. Luna (1 shared filing), James Liang (1 shared filing), John T. Raymond (1 shared filing) and Joyce Zhang (1 shared filing).

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

The issuer belongs to the sponsor group Emg (54 issuers, $11.52B reported sold, 2011–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Emg has 54 companies on file and $11.52B reported sold in total — the group page shows the whole track record in one place.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 8 court cases matching the name, 10 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 18 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 Ross Tomson and found 1 difference: No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open.

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.

4. Differences between public sources

Comparisons cover issuers and sponsor groups — see the issuer pages under Deals

1 difference found between the filings for Ross Tomson (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Apr 12, 2023 – Apr 26, 2023

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — TerraVolta Resources, LLC (latest filing Apr 26, 2023)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Apr 26, 2023 (first sale Apr 12, 2023). It reports $53,225,000 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.

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.

5. Money to insiders
