San Diego based. Frequently in LA. I used to run Disney and Nick websites like Save Disney Shows and DC Fans. But I still like trains, cute girls, and cats!
So it was recently pointed out to me that since my name is Greg and @Kat_McNamara ‘s name is Kat, if we dated our couple name could be #Great That’s Gre(g) + (K)at. How perfect would that be? 💕
@ToyBountyHunter This part infuriates me so much.
If Ben was just there for content, like Josh claims, then accepting the “fake” paperwork would end the issue. Ben would therefore have no reason to be there once it was served, and he’d have no controversy for his video.
Ammon McNeff – CEO of Bricks & Minifigs. Sitting at the top of the corporate ladder, hiding behind a PR desk, claiming his hands are clean while using regular families' money to scale a brand that allegedly covers up the theft of a $200,000 community Lego collection.
Joshua Johnson – The incoming Salem, Oregon franchise operator. The man who supposedly weaponized the legal system and the police department, repeatedly filing reports to avoid facing the reality of a stolen consignment collection and a valid small claims judgment.
Fourth District Judge Roger W. Griffin – The judge who officially signed off on the search warrants used to raid and harass investigators tracking down the stolen property.
The Anonymous Records Clerk (American Fork Records Dept.) – The voice on the phone with @RecklessBen who flat-out admitted they don't redact body cam messages for the police, hiding behind standard Utah GRAMA code to justify the department's blatant lack of transparency. We still need this name.
The American Fork Police Department Enforcers:
Lieutenant Quinn Adamson
Officer Richardson
Officer Steven Hawkins
Officer Luke Sumbot
Officer Samuel Canizalez
Officer S Tonga
Officer K Benzon
Officer C Jennings
Officer Fraughton
You wanted to play games, hide behind closed doors with "no cameras," and use badges to bury the truth. The public has the receipts and we know exactly who you are. Full accountability is coming. #Exposed #recklessbenwins
@DanFriedman81@rorgus@mofumomufomin@grok What you say may be technically true, but no jury in the world would agree that corporate can seize assets that do not belong to the franchisee simply because they are in possession of said goods.
@Dexerto In the beginning, I only wanted Bryan's dad to get his Legos back, but now that I'm fully invested, I want Brick & Minifigs out of business and both franchise owners bankrupt and imprisoned. And the American Fork PD needs to be investigated by the FBI.
Reckless Ben finally sits down with @johnbryanesq TheCivilRightsLawyer & discusses the Bricks and Minifigs LEGO heist.
Brandon Best to Bryan Mansell “Were gunna drag this thing out in court so it’ll cost you way more than what the LEGOs are worth.”
Keep in mind Bryan Mansell consigned these LEGOs to pay for Medical Treatment for his Dying Father. Disgusting…… #LEGOheist
Read this carefully.
Not because of what Ammon McNeff said.
Because of what nobody asked.
In the bodycam footage, the American Fork Police Department is presented with two competing stories.
On one side: Ben Schneider, better known as Reckless Ben.
On the other: Ammon McNeff, CEO of Bricks & Minifigs, discussing Joshua Johnson, Brandon Best, the Salem-Keizer store dispute, and the Mansell family's collection.
The officer openly admits he is getting two completely different versions of events.
That should have triggered skepticism.
Instead, something strange happens.
Ammon McNeff makes a long series of serious allegations.
Fraud.
Forgery.
Extortion.
Fake contracts.
Criminal investigations.
Harassment.
Collusion.
Multiple lawsuits.
Organized misconduct.
Think about that for a moment.
Those are not small accusations.
Those are accusations that could destroy reputations and send people to prison.
Yet from the footage, the obvious follow-up questions never seem to come.
"Can you show me the evidence?"
"Can you provide the documents?"
"Can you verify those claims?"
"Do you have proof of the forgery?"
"Do you have proof of extortion?"
Instead, the conversation appears to move almost immediately toward accepting a narrative.
And that should concern everyone.
Not because Ammon McNeff is necessarily wrong.
Not because Ben Schneider is necessarily right.
But because justice dies the moment allegations become a substitute for evidence.
Then look at what happened afterward.
According to Ben's published footage and reporting, there were repeated police encounters, trespass warnings, vehicle searches, arrests, searches for alleged drugs that reportedly produced nothing, searches for alleged stolen LEGO merchandise that reportedly produced nothing, and escalating enforcement actions surrounding a dispute that everyone agreed was, at its core, connected to a civil controversy.
Again, maybe there are facts the public has not seen.
Maybe there are details that will emerge later.
But reasonable people should still ask:
If someone is accused of fraud, where is the evidence?
If someone is accused of extortion, where is the evidence?
If someone is accused of forgery, where is the evidence?
And if that evidence exists, why wasn't it the center of the conversation?
Because what many people are noticing is not proof of corruption.
It's something more subtle.
A pattern.
A pattern where the discussion repeatedly shifts away from evidence and toward character.
"He does this for clicks."
"He's a YouTuber."
"He's wearing camera glasses."
"He's trying to get footage."
Maybe.
But none of those statements answer whether the underlying claims are true.
Throughout history, powerful institutions have always preferred debating the messenger over debating the message.
The messenger is easier to attack.
The evidence is harder.
And that's why this story has spread far beyond LEGO collectors.
People aren't just watching a dispute involving Brian Mansell, Joshua Johnson, Brandon Best, Ammon McNeff, Bricks & Minifigs, Reckless Ben, and the American Fork Police Department.
They're watching something larger.
They're watching a test.
A test of whether evidence still matters.
A test of whether institutions remain accountable.
A test of whether ordinary citizens are allowed to ask uncomfortable questions.
Because if accusations alone are enough to justify investigations, searches, arrests, warrants, and public condemnation, then every single one of us is vulnerable.
Today it's a YouTuber.
Tomorrow it's a journalist.
The next day it's a whistleblower.
The next day it's you.
The strongest societies are not the ones that blindly trust corporations.
They are not the ones that blindly trust police.
They are not the ones that blindly trust influencers.
They are the ones that demand evidence from everyone.
No exceptions.
No sacred cows.
No special treatment.
Just facts.
Just evidence.
Just truth.
And until those questions are answered, people will continue asking them. https://t.co/7mXy4pIyFK

The search warrant was approved by Fourth District Judge Roger W. Griffin. (As seen and taken from public documents and body cam footage)
Direct quote taken from body cam footage “Do we even have charges or are we just tired of them being annoying?”
These people all have some serious explaining to do. This is not acceptable of a police department that is paid by taxpayers of all stripes to run as a literal protection racket for a corporation and its GOONS in the same cult to cover up Grand Theft LEGO!!
My response to the Police https://t.co/2QyUO1N5yY via @YouTube
It should go without saying, but if you are a Lego collector, trader, or parent/buyer...
Do not EVER do business with the store "Bricks & Minifigs." These are known thieves who stole a dying old man's collection that he worked his entire life to build.
They're also in a weird Mormon cult and like to weaponize police/swat people who try to serve them legal court documents.
Dangerous, dirty, corrupt rats who don't deserve a cent. Spread the word, tell your friends family and neighbors. It is incredibly important to rid the country of a company filled with religious cultist rats who couldn't honor a deal and simply give a man his Legos back.
@bishop_2311@TheBrancaShow And if we’re talking about when he went to serve the legal papers to Josh at his home, Ben was in a private vehicle, on a public road, waiting for Josh to step *off* his property to remove the sign he had made. He had a lawful reason to speak to Josh. That’s not stalking.
@bishop_2311@TheBrancaShow Exactly this. Yes, he was trespassed from the store. But then the owner of the store gave him explicit permission to go back to the store. Ben even asked him twice on the phone just to clarify that he had permission to go back.
@old_dwayne@tehshaprr Previous owner did sell a decent amount & paid bryan as per the agreement.
She was escorted out of the store and not allowed to do a proper inventory. She advised corporate of the consignment sets in the store. If she was the thief, why is she pushing for proper documentation?
@tehshaprr What he’s trying to say is that because they don’t do consignment, they assumed the property much be the previous owner’s inventory. That’s why they took it and sold it to the new owners.
That doesn’t make it valid. They’re still stolen. Now that they know they need to fix it.
@IanRunkle Martha Stewart actually went to federal prison and came out the other side an even stronger brand.
The more they persecute him, the bigger they make him.
@LtColBillCage2@RaphaelYT7k Exactly. Corporate could have put all blame on the franchisee while at the same time gratuitously offering $50k to make it right and settle the matter.
There needs to be a full investigation into the corruption in the American Fork police department. What the hell. The more I look into this the crazier it gets
