The internet is not talking about "Reckless Ben" and the situation regarding Bricks and Minifigs at all.
So let me help bring some attention to this thing.
Ben Schneider is a comedic YouTube journalist in the same vain as Nathan For You/Nathan Felder.
His work into the abuse of Russ McKamey and McKamey Manor resulted in a Hulu Documentary, and prompted the Tennessee attorney general to open an investigation.
His first major video he infiltrated Scientology wearing spyglasses.
Now he is investigating the theft of a families' heirloom Star Wars LEGO collection, and he's looking at FIVE YEARS in prison for doing so.
The story involves Bricks and Minifigs placing the families prized LEGO collection on consignment and then just stealing the $200,000 worth of inventory, never giving the family the inventory or the money for the product. It's an incredible act of theft, brazenly admitted to on camera. But because it is technically a civil matter, and Bricks and Minifigs are a 400M dollar company their response was simply "Take us to Court."
Doing so would cost more money than the family has.
So Reckless Ben comes in, spends three months exposing all the corruption from the franchise down to the corporate offices.
Did I mention that Bricks and Minifig is a very valuable Mormon owned company in Utah and run by BYU graduates? That's important information. Ben explains the collusion with the LDS church in his video.
The latest video, which has not been made public yet results in Ben being harassed by the Mormon police department in American Fork, illegally redacting bodycam audio, swatted at gun point and his entire team being taken to jail for "starting a GoFundMe."
Ben spent days in jail.
I am not making this up. The police tell him that is the reason. Then the police raid his home in Los Angeles and issue a warrant for his arrest.
He is facing FIVE YEARS in prison. For simply doing journalism, and trying to bring attention to this family who had their sick grandfathers Lego collection stolen from them.
The second video has not been released from his Patreon yet, but I suspect it will soon.
It is one of the most unbelievable stories I have ever seen, and better than any crime documentary you will watch on Netflix this year.
If you are not aware of what is going on let me ask you to spread the word. The entire internet needs to come to the support of Reckless Ben and Bricks and Minifigs should be completely shut down forever and investigated by the DOJ.
nobody in 1975 needed a budget app, a financial coach, and a side hustle to afford a two bedroom apartment. this isn’t a personal finance problem. it’s a wage theft problem.
Trump said we had to attack Iran because we can‘t allow it “to have a nuclear weapon.” Really?
This is the same president who, in June, said: “Iran’s nuclear facilities have been obliterated.”
Vietnam. Iraq. Iran. Another lie. Another war.

ICE abruptly stops car in middle of road—pulls out gun or taser & rushes to confront woman driver.
Agents know exactly who the woman is—a well known activist who's been filming ICE for weeks.
This is retaliation against a U.S. citizen—just for exercising their First Amendment right to film law enforcement in public spaces.
The incident took place in Ventura County, California.

Thanks to Senate Republicans, 17 million people will lose their health care.
Thanks to Senate Republicans, rural hospitals will close.
Thanks to Senate Republicans, three million Americans, including veterans and seniors, will lose food assistance.
Thanks to Senate Republicans, families will see their energy bills go up by $400 a year.
Senate Republicans are doing all of this and more — hurting working people across our nation — in order to pay for $1 trillion in tax cuts for billionaires.
There is still time to stop this bill before it passes in the House. Call 202-224-3121 and tell your representative to vote no.
I don't know about you, but I love how Thom Tillis played Trump.
Trump threatens him with a primary challenger, and he's like, "Bro, I ain't running for reelection, screw you." and then publicly exposes the WH staff for not keeping Trump in the loop.
Who's running the country?
