The short version

Torry Berntsen is listed as an executive officer on 2 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer in Aug 2011: Unigo, LLC (New York, NY — industry reported as "Other" — 2011; $1.63M reported sold to 18 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Aug 2011. 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 Adam Burke (2 shared filings), Adam Cohen (2 shared filings), Douglas Cifu (2 shared filings), James Summerfield (2 shared filings), Jay Seid (2 shared filings) and 2 others.

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

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, LA, ME, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, NH, NM, OR, RI, TX, WA) — 4 court cases matching the name, 1 bankruptcy case 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 2 public filings for Torry Berntsen and found 5 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: 4 court cases name Torry Berntsen; Form D filed 551 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.

5 differences found between the filings for Torry Berntsen — 2 worth asking about (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Mar 28, 2006 – Jun 7, 2006

Bankruptcy case: Berntsen v. Wisconsin Department of Transportation — filed Mar 28, 2006

United States Bankruptcy Court, E.D. Wisconsin docket "Berntsen v. Wisconsin Department of Transportation" filed Mar 28, 2006, closed Jun 7, 2006. Torry Berntsen is listed as Plaintiff ("Berntsen"). Our match estimate: 40%.

What this means A bankruptcy filing was found. Many are old or personal and have nothing to do with the deal — but ask what it was and when it closed.

Sources
Worth asking · Feb 21, 2002 – Oct 5, 2012

4 court cases name Torry Berntsen — 3 as defendant

By role: defendant in 3, plaintiff in 1. Newest: "SPRINT COMMUNICATIONS COMPANY, v. BERNTSEN, ET AL" (District Court, S.D. Iowa, Oct 5, 2012); "SPRINT COMMUNICATIONS COMPANY, v. BERNTSEN, ET AL" (District Court, S.D. Iowa, Apr 25, 2011); "Yusen Air & Sea Service (U.S.A.) Inc. v. Berntsen" (District Court, D. Minnesota, Sep 18, 2007). Some of these are name matches with a match estimate below 95% — check each docket.

What this means Several court cases name this subject. Some are routine business suits. Ask what each was about and how it ended.

Sources
Note · Aug 3, 2011

Torry Berntsen appears on 1 deal that stopped filing before reaching its target

Unigo, LLC (last filing Aug 3, 2011; $1,629,428 sold of $3,604,233). Each has no filing in more than two years and reported under half its target sold.

What this means An issuer whose last filing is more than two years old and reported under half its target sold. The raise may have closed early or quietly stopped. Ask what happened to each.

Sources
Worth asking · Jan 29, 2010 – Aug 3, 2011

Form D filed 551 days after the first sale — Unigo, LLC

The filing says the first sale was Jan 29, 2010. The Form D was filed Aug 3, 2011 — 551 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 536 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 · Jul 28, 2011 – Aug 3, 2011

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Unigo, LLC (latest filing Aug 3, 2011)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Aug 3, 2011 (first sale Jul 28, 2011). It reports $1,629,428 sold of $3,604,233 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
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

None reported on 2 offerings — no sales commissions, finder's fees or proceeds to insiders

"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.
