The short version

Scott Zeilinger is listed as a director on 4 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Sep 2009 and Jul 2014: Checkpoint Surgical, LLC (Cleveland, OH — other health care — 2009–2014; $7.47M reported sold to 40 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 Geoffrey B. Thrope (4 shared filings), Donald Hubbard (3 shared filings), Leonard Cosentino (3 shared filings), Stephen Jacobs (2 shared filings), Leonard M. Cosentino (1 shared filing) and 3 others.

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

The issuer belongs to the sponsor group Checkpoint Surgical (7 issuers, $68.3M reported sold, 2009–2024).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Checkpoint Surgical has 7 companies on file and $68.3M 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 (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 2 court cases matching the name, 4 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

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.

We compared 4 public filings for Scott Zeilinger and found 8 differences: Bankruptcy case: Thrope v. Sherman Acquisition Limited Partnership; Bankruptcy case: Farmers Nat'l. Bank of Grant, Nebr. v. Zeilinger; 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 Scott Zeilinger (compared 4 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Jan 26, 2006 – Jun 28, 2006

Bankruptcy case: Thrope v. Sherman Acquisition Limited Partnership — filed Jan 26, 2006

United States Bankruptcy Court, N.D. Ohio docket "Thrope v. Sherman Acquisition Limited Partnership" filed Jan 26, 2006, closed Jun 28, 2006. Geoffrey B. Thrope (listed on the same filings) is listed as Plaintiff ("Thrope"). Our match estimate: 70%.

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
Note · Feb 12, 1990 – Nov 14, 1991

Bankruptcy case: Farmers Nat'l. Bank of Grant, Nebr. v. Zeilinger — filed Feb 12, 1990

United States Bankruptcy Court, D. Nebraska docket "Farmers Nat'l. Bank of Grant, Nebr. v. Zeilinger" filed Feb 12, 1990, closed Nov 14, 1991. Scott Zeilinger is listed as Defendant ("Zeilinger"). 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
Note · May 1, 2011 – Jul 23, 2014

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Checkpoint Surgical, LLC (latest filing Jul 23, 2014)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jul 23, 2014 (first sale May 1, 2011). It reports $7,466,166 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.

Sources
Note · Sep 17, 2009 – Sep 30, 2009

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Checkpoint Surgical, LLC (latest filing Sep 30, 2009)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Sep 30, 2009 (first sale Sep 17, 2009). It reports $538,152 sold of $5,000,000 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.

Sources
Note · Oct 11, 2011 – Jul 23, 2014

Offering amount changed between filings — Checkpoint Surgical, LLC

The Oct 11, 2011 filing says $3,000,000 offered; the Jul 23, 2014 Form D/A says $10,000,000.

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 · Oct 11, 2011 – Jul 23, 2014

Minimum investment changed between filings — Checkpoint Surgical, LLC

The Oct 11, 2011 filing lists a minimum of $24,900; the Jul 23, 2014 Form D/A lists $9,230.

What this means A different minimum usually means the offering terms changed. Check which terms apply to you.

Sources
Note · Sep 30, 2009 – Jul 23, 2014

Industry group changed between filings — Checkpoint Surgical, LLC

"Biotechnology" (Sep 30, 2009 to Oct 11, 2011); then "Other Health Care" (Jul 23, 2014).

What this means The issuer described its business differently on different forms. Often it is just a different box ticked; sometimes the deal itself changed. Ask which business your money is in.

Sources
Note · Jan 14, 2016 – Jul 13, 2021

Same name, different state: "Scott Zeilinger" (NY) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is OH. A separate record, "Scott Zeilinger" with address state NY, is listed on 5 filings — most recently by Cho Must Go On Ltd Liability Co (Jul 13, 2021). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Sep 30, 2009 to Jul 23, 2014; the other runs Jan 14, 2016 to Jul 13, 2021.

What this means Could be the same person who moved, or two people with the same name. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

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.
