*** VERIFIED FROM COLORADO SOS 2026-09-08. CO ID 20061258560, incorporated 2006-06-23 by J. Bart Johnson, Esq. (Aspen), principal office 4304 Prince Creek Road, Carbondale; agent CSC. CONFIRMING FIELD: the 2007 ANNUAL REPORT (filed 2007-06-12, doc 20071274701) was signed by DARREN INDYKE, and lists 457 MADISON AVENUE, 4TH FLOOR, NEW YORK NY 10022 (the Epstein/Indyke office) as the entity's principal MAILING address. Indyke (Epstein's lawyer) operating a Colorado corporation on the face of a state filing = hard Epstein-enabler tie. Colorado was previously ABSENT from this register; this extends the Indyke-operated network to CO. *** POSSIBLE EPSTEIN-WEXNER OVERLAP (LEAD, to confirm): the 2008 and 2009 annual reports (docs 20081430503, 20091433492) were signed by PEGGY W. UGLAND at 8000 WALTON PARKWAY, NEW ALBANY, OHIO 43054 — New Albany is the town Leslie Wexner founded, lives in, and where L Brands/Limited Brands is headquartered. So this entity's filings pass through BOTH the Epstein-lawyer office (2007) AND a New Albany, OH address (2008-2009). Not yet confirmed: whether 8000 Walton Parkway is a specific Wexner corporate entity and whether Ugland is a Wexner employee — CONFIRM before asserting a Wexner tie. Within Publius's ruling (Wexner and his firms fair game; not his children). 2013-2014 reports signed by the professional firm Kaufman Dishler & McAllister, P.C. (Catalina Cruz; Kimberly Dietrich). Principal office stayed 4304 Prince Creek Road throughout. OPEN: (1) pull Garfield County, CO deed/assessor records for 4304 Prince Creek Road to establish what Ranch Lake II owned and beneficial ownership; (2) identify Peggy W. Ugland's employer / what was at 8000 Walton Parkway in 2008; (3) decide whether Johnson/Ugland/Cruz/Dietrich belong in people.csv (named on company documents) — Publius's call. No public reporting connects Epstein/Indyke to Prince Creek Rd / Ranch Lake / Carbondale (checked 2026-09-08) — appears UNREPORTED.

NEW ALBANY CONTEXT CONFIRMED 2026-09-08: New Albany OH is a DOCUMENTED Epstein-Wexner locus (Epstein was president of the New Albany Company in 1998 and owned two New Albany properties during the Wexner years — see MEMO-new-albany-wexner.md). So the 2008-2009 New Albany signer on this Colorado corp is consistent with known Epstein/Wexner geography, not a coincidence — raising the priority of identifying Peggy W. Ugland and 8000 Walton Parkway.

STILL OPERATING (filing history 2026-09-08): 45 total records. The entity is NOT wound down — it filed periodic Reports 05/28/2024 (doc 20241585092), 05/27/2025 (doc 20251596372) and 05/27/2026 (doc 20261642717), the last noted 'Principal address changed, Change in registered agent information'; next periodic report due 08/31/2026. So an Epstein/Indyke-linked Colorado corp is still active ~7 years after Epstein's death and ~19 years after Indyke signed its 2007 report (parallels Southern Trust filing into 2024). PULL THESE THREE RECENT DOCS (20241585092 / 20251596372 / 20261642717) — the repeated principal-address changes and the 2026 registered-agent change would reveal WHO controls it now and from where. Also still-unpulled: filings 2010-2023 (events ~#15-40).

*** NEW ALBANY LINK CONFIRMED 2026-09-08. (1) 8000 Walton Parkway = THE NEW ALBANY COMPANY, the Wexner/Kessler development firm (their own website). (2) The 2008-2009 signer PEGGY W. UGLAND appears in EPSTEIN'S BLACK BOOK, page 76, as the contact for 'N.A. Property, Inc.' (N.A.=New Albany), New Albany OH — the scanned entry is annotated 'Les Wexner.' So the New Albany signer on this Epstein/Indyke Colorado corp is a documented Epstein contact tied to a Wexner-address property entity. This upgrades the earlier lead to a DIRECT Epstein<->Wexner operational link. Ugland flagged for people.csv (Publius's call).

GARFIELD COUNTY NEGATIVE 2026-09-08: 4304 Prince Creek Road does NOT appear in the Garfield County qPublic assessor database. IMPORTANT DISCIPLINE POINT: this means the 'principal office' address on the CO filings may have been a MAILING/NOMINEE address, not a real parcel Ranch Lake II owned — so the 'Epstein held Colorado real estate via Ranch Lake' inference is NOT confirmed and should not be asserted. What remains fully documented and unaffected: Indyke signed the 2007 CO annual report, and the 2008-2009 signer (Ugland) worked from Wexner's New Albany Company office. NEXT: check the PITKIN County assessor (Prince Creek Rd straddles the county line) and search by owner name 'Ranch Lake' rather than street address; the later 'principal address changed' filings (2024-2026) may also show where it moved.

Sibling Ranch Lake III's 2026 report confirms the New Albany Company mailing address (8000 Walton Pkwy) persists to 2026 across the set — PULL Ranch Lake II's current (2026) periodic report (doc 20261642717 for III; II's latest) to confirm II carries the same 8000 Walton Pkwy mailing address.

CURRENT REPORT PULLED (doc 20261642717, filed 2026-05-27): CONFIRMS Ranch Lake II's principal-office MAILING address is 8000 Walton Pkwy Ste 100, New Albany OH 43054 — the New Albany Company (Wexner) office — same as sibling Ranch Lake III. Principal street 204 Park Ave Ste 2F, Basalt CO; agent Patrick McAllister, PC. The individual who caused the 2026 filing to be delivered is ROBERT ELLIOT DESCHLER, 8000 Walton Pkwy Ste 100, New Albany OH — i.e., the current administrator/filer, operating from the New Albany Company address (the present-day successor to Peggy Ugland's 2008-2009 role). So BOTH Colorado siblings still route through Wexner's New Albany Company in 2026. Deschler is NOT on the New Albany Company public team page (checked 2026-09-08) — affiliation to confirm (outside counsel / family office / former staff); recorded factually, not asserted as an enabler.
