Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 9 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 9 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 3 public filings for Thomas Bennett and found 8 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 746 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

8 differences found between the filings for Thomas Bennett — 1 worth asking about (compared 3 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Apr 21, 2014 – May 6, 2016

Form D filed 746 days after the first sale — Veracity Security Intelligence, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Apr 21, 2014. The Form D was filed May 6, 2016 — 746 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 731 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.

Sources
Note · Feb 11, 2015 – Oct 28, 2015

Offering amount changed between filings — ThreatSTOP, Inc.

The Feb 11, 2015 filing says $4,000,000 offered; the Oct 28, 2015 Form D/A says $4,750,000.

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 · Apr 21, 2014 – May 6, 2016

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Veracity Security Intelligence, Inc. (latest filing May 6, 2016)

The latest filing for this offering is dated May 6, 2016 (first sale Apr 21, 2014). It reports $3,025,010 sold of $3,525,000 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.

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).
