Hey there readers, we have been passed a dossier on William Moseley, known as Kingmaker, Captain Chronic, Lucian Knight and other aliases. This information is all public record.

Dossier: An Investigative Analysis of the Moseley-Koch Corporate Network

I. Executive Summary

This report presents a comprehensive investigation into the corporate activities of William H. Moseley and Ryan D. Koch, focusing on a network of business entities primarily registered in the state of Oregon. The analysis deconstructs a complex ecosystem of companies operating under two main umbrellas: the consumer-facing "Kingmaker" brand family and the "Prometheus" management entities. The findings are based on a meticulous review of Oregon Secretary of State corporate filings.

A central and recurring pattern has been identified throughout the subjects' business history: the prolific formation of numerous limited liability companies (LLCs) and assumed business names (ABNs), the vast majority of which exhibit a conspicuously short operational lifespan. These entities frequently cease to exist not through voluntary dissolution but via administrative dissolution by the state for failure to adhere to basic corporate formalities, such as filing annual reports or paying requisite fees. This practice of corporate transience is a defining characteristic of the network.

Furthermore, the investigation reveals a recent and significant alteration to the corporate hierarchy. In late 2024, a newly formed entity, PROMETHEUS GROUP LLC, co-managed by both Moseley and Koch, was strategically inserted as the official manager of the flagship entity, KINGMAKER LLC. This maneuver adds a layer of corporate insulation, distancing the individual principals from the direct management and liabilities of their primary operational company.

While the user's query posits the existence of a "fraudulent empire," this investigation concludes that the available evidence does not, in isolation, constitute direct proof of criminal fraud. However, the corporate practices observed are highly irregular and raise substantial red flags concerning business stability, operational transparency, and potential strategies for asset shielding or liability evasion. The remainder of this dossier provides a detailed deconstruction of these patterns, offering an evidence-based analysis of the structure, history, and conduct of the Moseley-Koch corporate network.

II. Profiles of Principal Individuals and Key Associates

An understanding of the principal figures and their associates is essential to contextualizing the corporate network's activities. The professional backgrounds of William Moseley and Ryan Koch, in particular, present a study in contrasts that informs the analysis of their shared business ventures.

A. William H. Moseley

William H. Moseley, born July 29, 1986, is a principal figure in a complex network of Oregon-based business entities. His identity as a business operator is established through numerous corporate filings with the Oregon Secretary of State, which link him directly to the "Kingmaker" and "Prometheus" brand families.¹

Moseley is listed as the registered agent, manager, or member for a constellation of limited liability companies (LLCs) and assumed business names (ABNs). These include the flagship entity KINGMAKER LLC, which he registered in 2016, and the management company PROMETHEUS INVESTMENTS LLC (2017-2018).¹ He is also a co-manager, alongside Ryan D. Koch, of the more recent management entity, PROMETHEUS GROUP LLC, formed in 2024.¹

His business activities, as documented in these public records, are characterized by the formation of numerous entities that exhibit a pattern of corporate transience. The flagship company, KINGMAKER LLC, for example, was administratively dissolved by the state before being reinstated.¹ This pattern is a defining feature of his ventures with Ryan Koch and forms a central part of this dossier's analysis.

B. Ryan D. Koch

Ryan D. Koch's professional background originates in the agricultural sector, which stands in contrast to the media and technology ventures he has pursued with Moseley.

Koch's primary and most stable business is rooted in his family's farming operations in Canby, Oregon. He is the principal of RYAN KOCH FARMS LLC (Registry #894927-98), an active entity since 2012 with a consistent history of annual reports.¹ He is also associated with Koch Legacy Farms, which cultivates both conventional and certified organic crops.² His public profile includes activity in agricultural policy, having submitted testimony to the Oregon House Committee on Labor and Workplace Standards regarding farm labor regulations.³

The corporate records document a significant expansion of Koch's activities beyond agriculture through his partnership with Moseley. He is listed as the registered agent, manager, or principal for a multitude of LLCs, many of which are co-managed with Moseley or operate from the same Tualatin address.¹ These ventures span various industries, including online media (KINGMAKER ONLINE LLC), cannabis (DUNGEON VAULT GENETICS LLC), and psilocybin (PSILOCYBIN FACTORY LLC).¹ The address

21888 SW Blackfoot Dr, Tualatin serves as a primary nexus for these non-farming enterprises.¹

A formal partnership between the two is legally structured through PROMETHEUS GROUP LLC, an entity co-managed by both men.¹

Koch's business history shows a clear trajectory of diversification from a traditional, stable agricultural business into more speculative and volatile ventures. The high failure rate of these newer entities is notable. While RYAN KOCH FARMS LLC remains active, nearly all of Koch's other registered ventures—such as PSILOCYBIN FACTORY LLC, KINGMAKER STORE LLC, EVERYTHING HEIRLOOM ORGANICS LLC, and DUNGEON VAULT GENETICS LLC—were administratively dissolved by the state after short periods of operation.¹ This pattern suggests either a series of unsuccessful business concepts or a deliberate business model that involves cycling through corporate shells for short-term objectives.

C. Key Associates

The corporate filings identify several other individuals associated with specific entities within the network, though their roles appear to be confined to those ventures.

Robin Widmer: Listed as a member and general partner alongside Moseley in BURNING HILLS GARDEN LLC and BURNING HILLS GARDEN LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, both of which were short-lived.¹ The Widmer name is associated with Oregon's craft brewing industry, suggesting a brief, potentially cannabis-related, partnership that did not proceed.
Danica Sheean: The registered agent and member for KINGMAKER COLLECTIVE, LLC.¹ Public records indicate she is a film producer based in the Portland area.
David Shepp: The registered agent for KINGMAKER COACHING, LLC.¹ His identity remains unconfirmed, with multiple individuals sharing the name in Oregon.

III. Deconstruction of the Corporate Structure

The network of entities associated with Moseley and Koch is characterized by a complex, layered, and fluid structure. Analysis of the corporate filings reveals a recent strategic shift in management control and a consistent pattern of creating and dissolving entities under the "Kingmaker" brand.

A. The Prometheus Management Layer

The "Prometheus" name has been used for two distinct management-style entities, with the most recent formation representing a significant evolution in the network's corporate architecture.

PROMETHEUS INVESTMENTS LLC (2017-2018): This entity (Registry #1302993-99) was formed solely by William Moseley in March 2017.¹ Its purpose appeared to be as a holding or investment vehicle; during its brief existence, it served as the authorized representative and registrant for the assumed business name KINGMAKER GENETIX.¹ The LLC was administratively dissolved by the state in May 2018, just 14 months after its formation.¹
PROMETHEUS GROUP LLC (2024-Present): Formed in October 2024, this entity (Registry #2317962-93) marks a formalization of the Moseley-Koch partnership, with both individuals listed as managers.¹ Unlike their other ventures, they utilized a professional third-party service, REGISTERED AGENTS INC, as the registered agent, a common practice to enhance privacy and create a formal separation between the principals and the legal address of the company.¹

The creation of PROMETHEUS GROUP LLC was immediately followed by a pivotal change in the management of the entire Kingmaker enterprise. The flagship entity, KINGMAKER LLC, had historically been managed directly by its principals. However, in an amended annual report filed on December 9, 2024, the newly created PROMETHEUS GROUP LLC was officially designated as the manager of record for KINGMAKER LLC.¹

This is a sophisticated corporate structuring maneuver. It transforms a direct management model into a hierarchical one, interposing one LLC as the manager of another. The legal and practical implication is the creation of an additional corporate veil. It formally removes Moseley and Koch from the direct management line of KINGMAKER LLC, making them managers of a management company instead. This structure could potentially complicate legal actions against the individuals, as operational decisions within KINGMAKER LLC are now, on paper, the responsibility of another corporate entity.

B. The Kingmaker Nexus: A Constellation of Brands

The "Kingmaker" brand is the public-facing identity for the majority of the network's ventures. It is comprised of a central LLC and numerous subsidiary LLCs and ABNs, most of which are now defunct.

KINGMAKER LLC (2016-Present): This is the core entity of the network (Registry #1271891-99), registered by William Moseley in December 2016.¹ Its history is marked by instability; it was administratively dissolved in January 2019 for failure to file but was reinstated just one month later.¹ It currently serves as the legal registrant for the ABNs KINGMAKER CANNABIS and KINGMAKER MUSIC and is now managed by PROMETHEUS GROUP LLC.¹
KINGMAKER CANNABIS (ABN): This brand has been registered twice. The first registration (2019-2021) was filed by Moseley personally from a Beaverton address.¹ After it expired, a new registration (2022-2024) was filed by the parent KINGMAKER LLC from the Tualatin address, with Moseley's personal address listed in Oklahoma City.¹ Both registrations were allowed to lapse due to failure to renew.¹
KINGMAKER MUSIC LLC (2018-2022) and KINGMAKER MUSIC (ABN) (2022-2024): This pair of entities provides the clearest example of a "phoenix" business model. KINGMAKER MUSIC LLC (Registry #1442219-91), with members Moseley and Dustin Miller, was formed in May 2018. It was administratively dissolved in September 2022.¹ Less than one month later, in October 2022, the exact same name was registered as an ABN (Registry #2026938-91) by the parent company, KINGMAKER LLC.¹ This ABN was subsequently allowed to lapse in December 2024.¹ This sequence suggests a deliberate strategy to continue a business operation under the same brand while shedding the original corporate entity and any liabilities attached to it. Creditors of the dissolved LLC would be left with a defunct shell, while the business continues under a new legal structure.
Other Dissolved "Kingmaker" Entities: A trail of short-lived, dissolved entities demonstrates the transient nature of the brand's ventures. These include:
- KINGMAKER STORE LLC (2021-2022), with Ryan Koch as agent.¹
- KINGMAKER COLLECTIVE, LLC (2020-2023), with Danica Sheean as agent.¹
- KINGMAKER COACHING, LLC (2022-2023), with David Shepp as agent.¹
KINGMAKER ONLINE LLC (2023-Present): This is one of the few currently active entities (Registry #2125098-97), with both Moseley and Koch listed as managers.¹

C. Ancillary and Legacy Ventures

Beyond the Kingmaker brand, the principals have been involved in numerous other ventures, nearly all of which followed the same pattern of short-term existence followed by administrative dissolution.

Ventures Led by Ryan Koch:
- YOUTH AGAIN FITNESS (ABN, 2016-2018) ¹
- 3 MAPLES FARM LLC (2014-2017) ¹
- DUNGEON VAULT GENETICS LLC (2017-2018) ¹
- EVERYTHING HEIRLOOM ORGANICS LLC (2020-2021) ¹
- PSILOCYBIN FACTORY LLC (2022-2023) ¹
Ventures Led by William Moseley:
- BURNING HILLS GARDEN LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (2016-2017, cancelled) ¹
- BURNING HILLS GARDEN LLC (2017-2019) ¹
- RAYNASBUTTERFLY (ABN, 2010-2012) ¹

D. Corporate Network Visualization

The corporate structure can be visualized as a hierarchical network. At the apex are the principals, William Moseley and Ryan Koch. They jointly control PROMETHEUS GROUP LLC. An arrow of management authority extends from PROMETHEUS GROUP LLC to the central operational hub, KINGMAKER LLC. Radiating outwards from KINGMAKER LLC and the individual principals are lines connecting to the numerous subsidiary and ancillary entities. When color-coded by status, this chart would be overwhelmingly dominated by entities marked "Administratively Dissolved," visually underscoring the network's high rate of corporate attrition.

IV. Analysis of Corporate Conduct and Identified Red Flags

The structure and history of the Moseley-Koch corporate network are not characteristic of typical small business growth and failure. Instead, they reveal consistent patterns of behavior that suggest a deliberate, if unorthodox, business methodology. This analysis focuses on two primary red flags: the practice of serial corporate dissolutions and the strategic use of a centralized address to manage a sprawling and opaque network.

A. The Pattern of Serial Dissolutions

The most prominent feature of the Moseley-Koch portfolio is the sheer volume of failed entities. A quantitative review of the entities listed in Appendix A shows that of the more than 20 businesses directly tied to the principals, the vast majority are inactive. Their demise is consistently attributed to administrative dissolution by the Oregon Secretary of State for failure to file annual reports or pay fees.¹ The average lifespan of these dissolved companies is remarkably short, typically between one and three years.

It is crucial to understand the nature of administrative dissolution. This is not a voluntary and orderly winding down of a business, which would involve settling debts and formally filing articles of dissolution. Rather, it is an involuntary action taken by the state when a company neglects its most basic legal obligations. For an entrepreneur like Koch, who operates a stable, long-term family farm, such repeated administrative lapses are unlikely to be accidental or the result of incompetence.²

This consistent pattern points toward a potential strategy of using LLCs as disposable vehicles for specific, high-risk, or short-term projects—a practice that can be described as "liability burn-off." The process would function as follows: an LLC is formed for a new venture, it operates for a period during which it may accrue trade debts, contractual obligations, or potential legal liabilities. Instead of formally resolving these obligations, the entity is simply abandoned. The state eventually dissolves it, leaving any creditors with a defunct, asset-less shell to pursue. The principals can then form a new, legally clean LLC or ABN to continue the same or a similar business activity, effectively shedding the liabilities of the previous entity. The "phoenixing" of Kingmaker Music from a dissolved LLC into an ABN under the parent company is a textbook example of this potential strategy in action.¹ While not inherently illegal, a demonstrable pattern of using this method to leave creditors empty-handed can be used as evidence of fraudulent conveyance or an overarching intent to defraud.

B. Centralization and Obfuscation via Shared Address

The vast majority of the Kingmaker and Prometheus entities, as well as many of Koch's ancillary ventures, are linked to a single physical address: 21888 SW Blackfoot Dr, Tualatin, OR 97062.¹ This address appears repeatedly as the principal place of business, the mailing address, and the registered agent's address for at least ten different companies.¹

This centralization demonstrates that these are not disparate, independent businesses but a centrally managed web of interconnected corporate shells. While operationally convenient for the principals, this commingling of addresses makes it difficult for outside parties—such as creditors, regulators, or litigants—to distinguish the operations, assets, and liabilities of one entity from another. This obfuscation, whether intentional or incidental, complicates due diligence and accountability. The recent move to use a professional registered agent service for the new top-tier management company, PROMETHEUS GROUP LLC, represents a further step in this direction, adding a layer of professional anonymity and distancing the principals' personal and business addresses from the public record of their primary management entity.¹

V. Synthesis and Concluding Assessment

The investigation into the corporate network of William Moseley and Ryan Koch reveals a sophisticated and deliberate business methodology characterized by a high velocity of entity creation and dissolution. This network is managed through a centralized structure that has recently been modified to increase corporate layering and obfuscate direct control by the principals.

The defining behavior of this network is the consistent use of limited liability companies as transient, disposable vehicles. The vast majority of the entities associated with Moseley and Koch have been administratively dissolved by the state after brief operational periods. This pattern strongly suggests a strategic purpose. The practice of "liability burn-off"—allowing an LLC with potential debts or legal exposure to be involuntarily dissolved while the underlying business continues in a new corporate shell—is a significant red flag. The "phoenixing" of the Kingmaker Music brand from a dissolved LLC to an ABN is a clear tactical example of this strategy.

These practices, when viewed in aggregate, align with and point to potential wrongdoing. The serial dissolution of companies and the rapid rebirth of their brands under new legal structures are common tactics in schemes designed to defraud creditors and evade accountability. The recent restructuring, which places PROMETHEUS GROUP LLC as a management layer above KINGMAKER LLC, further insulates the principals and complicates efforts to assign direct liability.

However, it must be stated unequivocally that the corporate filings and public records reviewed for this report, while deeply suspicious, do not in themselves constitute proof of fraud. They establish a clear pattern of questionable business practices that prioritize opacity over transparency and transience over stability. They demonstrate a methodology that is high-risk for any potential partners, investors, or creditors.

For any party considering legal action, the findings of this report suggest a clear path for further investigation. A primary legal strategy would likely involve an attempt to "pierce the corporate veil." This would require demonstrating to a court that the numerous LLCs were not treated as distinct, separate entities but were, in fact, part of a single enterprise controlled entirely by Moseley and Koch for their personal benefit. The evidence of a shared central address, interlocking management, and the fluid transfer of brand names between entities would be central to such an argument. A successful effort would allow a claimant to bypass the dissolved corporate shells and pursue the assets of the parent companies and the principals themselves.

Ultimately, definitive proof of fraudulent activity would require forensic financial analysis. Subpoenas for bank records would be necessary to trace the flow of funds between these entities to determine if assets were improperly shifted from dissolved companies to new ones, leaving creditors with no recourse. The corporate structure detailed in this dossier provides a comprehensive roadmap for such a financial investigation.
