The short version

Thomas Auth is listed as an executive officer and director on 10 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Mar 2011 and Jun 2023: Kellbenx Inc. (Great River, NY — biotechnology — 2011–2023; $3.21M reported sold to 20 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC. 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 Leonard Kellner (10 shared filings), Hassan Bennani (9 shared filings), Daniel J. Saks (5 shared filings), Jeff Paley (5 shared filings), Jeffrey C. Lightcap (3 shared filings) and 7 others.

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

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 1 bankruptcy case matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 1 record 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 10 public filings for Thomas Auth and found 9 differences, 3 worth asking the sponsor about: Amount sold went down between filings; Paid seller listed without a CRD number: W. A. Healthcare Consultants, Inc; 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

9 differences found between the filings for Thomas Auth — 3 worth asking about (compared 10 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Dec 7, 2015 – Oct 18, 2019

Amount sold went down between filings — Kellbenx Inc.

The Dec 7, 2015 filing says $3,211,000 sold; the Oct 18, 2019 Form D/A says $2,550,000 sold — $661,000 less.

What this means Amounts sold normally only go up as a raise continues. A drop can mean investors were refunded, a figure was corrected, or an earlier number was wrong. Ask the sponsor which it was.

Sources
Worth asking · Apr 18, 2011

Paid seller listed without a CRD number: W. A. Healthcare Consultants, Inc. — Kellbenx Inc.

W. A. Healthcare Consultants, Inc. is listed as receiving sales compensation on 1 filing (Apr 18, 2011) with no FINRA CRD number given.

What this means People paid to sell securities normally hold a FINRA registration with a CRD number. Without one we cannot look them up on BrokerCheck. Ask who they are and whether they are registered.

W.A. Healthcare Consultants, Inc. is listed as receiving sales compensation on 1 filing (Mar 22, 2011) with no FINRA CRD number given.

Thomas Auth's role changed at Kellbenx Inc.: executive officer, director → director

The Nov 10, 2020 filing lists Thomas Auth as executive officer, director; the Jun 28, 2023 Form D lists director.

What this means Roles on Form D are self-reported by the issuer. A change can mean a real change in who runs the company, or just a different box ticked. Ask who makes decisions today.

Sources
Note · Dec 7, 2015 – Oct 18, 2019

Thomas Auth's role changed at Kellbenx Inc.: director → executive officer, director

The Dec 7, 2015 filing lists Thomas Auth as director; the Oct 18, 2019 Form D/A lists executive officer, director.

What this means Roles on Form D are self-reported by the issuer. A change can mean a real change in who runs the company, or just a different box ticked. Ask who makes decisions today.

Sources
Note · Dec 7, 2015 – Oct 18, 2019

Offering amount changed between filings — Kellbenx Inc.

The Dec 7, 2015 filing says $3,300,000 offered; the Oct 18, 2019 Form D/A says $3,750,000.

What this means The target raise changed. Raising the cap is common when a deal grows; ask whether the extra money has the same terms and use.

Sources
Note · Dec 4, 2015 – Oct 18, 2019

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Kellbenx Inc. (latest filing Oct 18, 2019)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Oct 18, 2019 (first sale Dec 4, 2015). It reports $2,550,000 sold of $3,750,000 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.

Sources
Note · Apr 29, 2015 – May 12, 2015

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Kellbenx Inc. (latest filing May 12, 2015)

The latest filing for this offering is dated May 12, 2015 (first sale Apr 29, 2015). It reports $0 sold of $3,100,000 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.

Sources
Note · Apr 18, 2011 – Feb 29, 2012

Address moved from Massapequa, NY to Great River, NY — Kellbenx Inc.

The people listed on the Apr 18, 2011 filing give Massapequa, NY; on the Feb 29, 2012 filing they give Great River, NY.

What this means Businesses move; this just shows the two places and dates. If you were told one city and the forms say another, ask which is current.

Sources
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 1

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