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.
One of the best things I did early in my Christian life was just read the Bible cover to cover multiple times through.
That was my “Bible reading plan” for like the first 5 years I was a Christian: Start in Genesis, read to Revelation, repeat.
Highly recommend it.
Our European allies: “Even if all of the statements made by Van Langenhove are based on scientific evidence and statistics, it makes no difference to the criminal intent. Van Langenhove is not charged with spreading false information. He is charged with presenting facts in a way that incites hatred against persons on the grounds of one or more of the protected criteria in the Anti-Racism Law.”
Hypothetical: You’re the owner of an MLB team. I offer to take $0 salary and sign a minor league contract and go to Low A.
If the “he sucks now” crowd is right and I get lit up, you cut me, lose $0 and there’s no risk to the big league club.
If the “clubhouse cancer” crowd is right, you see it immediately at Low A and cut me. You lose $0 and there’s no risk to the big league club.
If there’s massive negative PR, which we already know there won’t be, you just cut me and move on. The story is dead in a couple days, you lose $0, and there’s no risk to the big league club.
But, assuming none of those things happen, which they obviously wouldn’t, if you like what you see, you can promote me to AA and re evaluate me there. Then AAA. Then the big leagues. If I earn it, which you’d be 100% in control of deciding. If you don’t think I’m good enough, you lose $0 and there’s no risk to the big league club.
You could take away my “antics”. You could take away my social media. You could ask anything of me. If I don’t comply, you cut me, lose $0, and there’s no risk to the big league club.
What logical reason is there to not do this? At worst, you cut me and there’s no risk to the big league club. At best, you get a Cy Young winner for $0 who you know can still pitch and could help the big league team if and when you see fit.
The Tucker-NYTimes clip on the Antichrist was deceptively edited. It was made to look like he denied using those words, then was shown (then and there) a clip of him using those words, to which he responds that he never used those words.
What obviously actually happened was that he denied using those words, then she read them to him, and he responds that he never used them because he wouldn't claim something like that. The clip was thrown in the middle of the conversation post-edit to make it appear like he was insane or straight up lying.
The older clip in full has him saying that this is what others are claiming, but he himself isn't sure. He clearly forgot that he actually did use those words, but was correct that he wouldn't positively make such a claim.
People that I know are better than this are falling for it.
