The short version

Stephen Benjamin is listed as an executive officer on 4 SEC Form D filings by 4 issuers between Jul 2019 and Jan 2020: 220 East 72nd Street REIT, LLC (New York, NY — reits and finance — 2020; $125K reported sold to 125 investors), 520 West 43rd Street REIT, LLC (New York, NY — reits and finance — 2019; $125K reported sold to 125 investors), 101 West End REIT, LLC (New York, NY — reits and finance — 2019; $125K reported sold to 125 investors) and Riverside Center Parcel 2 BIT Associates REIT, LLC (New York, NY — reits and finance — 2019; $125K reported sold to 125 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 4 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer. Across those companies the filings report $500K sold in total.

Listed alongside Dermot Venture REIT Manager I, LLC (2 shared filings, management entity), Dermot Venture REIT Manager III, LLC (1 shared filing, management entity) and Riverside Center Parcel 2 BIT REIT Manager, LLC (1 shared filing, management entity).

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

The issuers belong to 2 sponsor groups: Dermot Venture (2 issuers, $250K reported sold, 2019) and Dermot Venture (2 issuers, $375K reported sold, 2020–2022).

What this means This person is listed across more than one sponsor team; each group page shows that team's full track record.

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) — 5 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 5 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 4 public filings for Stephen Benjamin and found 3 differences, 3 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 235 days after the first sale; 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.

4. Differences between public sources

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

3 differences found between the filings for Stephen Benjamin — 3 worth asking about (compared 4 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Nov 29, 2018 – Jul 22, 2019

Form D filed 235 days after the first sale — Riverside Center Parcel 2 BIT Associates REIT, LLC

The filing says the first sale was Nov 29, 2018. The Form D was filed Jul 22, 2019 — 235 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 220 days past that.

What this means The notice went in months after money was taken in. Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves, but it is fair to ask the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

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.

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 4

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