The short version

TOM TRIVELLA is listed as an executive officer on 5 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Jun 2015 and Oct 2018: Reality Shares, Inc. (San Diego, CA — investing — 2015–2018; $3.18M reported sold to 38 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 CHARLES SILVER (5 shared filings), Eric Ervin (5 shared filings), JACOB BERCOVITZ (5 shared filings), Michael S. Rosen (5 shared filings) and Fred Hatfield (1 shared filing).

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

The issuer belongs to the sponsor group Blockforce Multi Strategy (4 issuers, $4.01M reported sold, 2015–2022).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Blockforce Multi Strategy has 4 companies on file and $4.01M 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) — 1 court 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 5 public filings for TOM TRIVELLA and found 4 differences: No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open; Industry group changed between filings; 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 found between the filings for TOM TRIVELLA (compared 5 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Oct 15, 2018 – Oct 26, 2018

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Reality Shares, Inc. (latest filing Oct 26, 2018)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Oct 26, 2018 (first sale Oct 15, 2018). It reports $750,000 sold of $10,000,000 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.

Note · Jun 3, 2015 – Mar 24, 2017

"Pooled Investment Fund" (Jun 3, 2015); then "Investing" (Mar 24, 2017 to Oct 26, 2018).

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
