The short version

Cynthia Smith is listed as an executive officer on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Mar 2014: ZS Pharma, Inc. (Coppell, TX — pharmaceuticals — 2014; $27.6M reported sold to 30 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Mar 2014. 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 Alvaro Guillem (1 shared filing), Donald Jeffrey Keyser (1 shared filing), Guy Nohra (1 shared filing), Henrick Sandvad Rasmussen (1 shared filing), John P. McKearn (1 shared filing) and 4 others.

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

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 6 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below. Not yet searched: SEC enforcement releases.

What this means 6 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.

Court records show docket facts only; we never restate allegations as facts. Outcome wording comes from the docket feed; where it does not state a disposition we say so.
