The short version

Tom Vasicek is listed as an executive officer on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Feb 2021: Gila Therapeutics, Inc. (Edina, MN — biotechnology — 2021; $3.34M reported sold to 33 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Feb 2021. 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 Christopher de Souza (1 shared filing), Jon Freeman (1 shared filing), Richard Horan (1 shared filing) and Scott Schorer (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 Gi Dynamics (3 issuers, $2.58M reported sold, 2010–2023).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Gi Dynamics has 3 companies on file and $2.58M reported sold in total — the group page shows the whole track record in one place.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 4 court cases matching the name, 2 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.

Washington (dw.courts.wa.gov; bulk index reports under a JISC data-dissemination agreement), Delaware (CourtConnect; Court of Chancery not included) and Arizona (apps.azcourts.gov/publicaccess, which has an official channel to request high-volume access) are the candidates; PartnerFacts will request written permission before any automated search.
