The short version

Thomas D. Abert is listed as an executive officer and director on 6 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Jan 2012 and May 2015: ZS Genetics Inc (Wakefield, MA — biotechnology — 2012–2015; $1.72M reported sold to 22 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 Frank E. Ferguson (6 shared filings), Jane Hager (6 shared filings), William R Glover (6 shared filings), Thomas A. Shields (3 shared filings), Bill W Ward (2 shared filings) and 1 others.

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

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — none found.

What this means Nothing turned up where we looked (3 sources). That does not prove there is nothing — it means none was found in those sources on that date.

We compared 6 public filings for Thomas D. Abert and found 9 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 613 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

9 differences found between the filings for Thomas D. Abert — 1 worth asking about (compared 6 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · May 3, 2010 – Jan 6, 2012

Form D filed 613 days after the first sale — ZS Genetics Inc

The filing says the first sale was May 3, 2010. The Form D was filed Jan 6, 2012 — 613 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 598 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 · Jan 6, 2012 – Apr 9, 2014

Offering amount changed between filings — ZS Genetics Inc

The Jan 6, 2012 filing says $1,000,000 offered; the Apr 9, 2014 Form D/A says $2,300,000.

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 · Jan 6, 2012

Offering amount changed between filings — ZS Genetics Inc

The Jan 6, 2012 filing says $500,000 offered; the Jan 6, 2012 Form D/A says $700,000.

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.

Note · Jan 6, 2012

Offering amount changed between filings — ZS Genetics Inc

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.

Note · Apr 27, 2015 – May 6, 2015

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — ZS Genetics Inc (latest filing May 6, 2015)

The latest filing for this offering is dated May 6, 2015 (first sale Apr 27, 2015). It reports $170,000 sold of $350,000 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.

Same name, different state: "Thomas D. Abert" (FL) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is NH. A separate record, "Thomas D. Abert" with address state FL, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by Medifoodz, Inc. (Sep 2, 2025). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Jan 6, 2012 to May 6, 2015; the other has one filing dated Sep 2, 2025.

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.

Address moved from North Billerica, MA to Beverly Farms, MA — ZS Genetics Inc

The people listed on the Jan 6, 2012 filing give North Billerica, MA; on the Apr 9, 2014 filing they give Beverly Farms, MA.

What this means Businesses move; this just shows the two places and dates. If you were told one city and the forms say another, ask which is current.

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).
