Arrested Over Lego Toys

[Taiso]

This popped up in my feed and it's getting a lot of play on YT. I decided to check it out and it's pretty crazy how corrupt this particular police department is. Like...this is the kind of story that you might read about in a Reacher novel but instead of Lego, it's drugs or guns.

There's so much to this story. I started catching up on it this week. It's been so much fun.
Corrupt Cops. Mormons. and Legos. What an epic Saga!
Even the Patreon CEO dropped a bomb, quite bluntly. I love it.

If someone has a competing lego business, I'd be ramping up marketing real quick as B&M is not going to make it.

 

[Tarma]

Meh. I'm sure he was asking for it.

There are layers to this story, man. It just goes deeper and deeper. Might actually need Jack Reacher to sort it all out in the end.

Meh. I'm sure he was asking for it.

He was harassing the owners of the retail chain under the guise of being a savior for this old man. He's also saying that he fled to Mexico because of a warrant issued with no bail (lies). I'm not even defending the owners of B&M, just saying things are getting fudged for views. Shitty people all around.

A dispute over a prized Star Wars Lego collection led to a YouTube crusade. Then came the stalking charges in Utah.

A California YouTuber is facing charges in Utah after police say he targeted business owners connected to a fight over a missing Star Wars Lego collection.

Definitely engagement farming for sure.

We need a solution from Reacher.

We deserve a solution from Dredd.

Wait, so Bricks & Minifigs is a chain? Weve got one nearby, my nephew loves going there and digging around for stuff.

 

[100proof]

I mean they tried to get his Patreon taken down and Patreon investigated and the CEO released a statement saying the equivalent of "nah, fuck off... sue us" so while this guy may be a YouTube douche, the story appears to be true. There's some shady shit going down.

 

[Phyeir]

I've been hooked to the drama of this for the past few days. Its got layers for sure.

1) Previous franchise owner that consigned the collection suddenly folds the business and leaves the country. Guy is an Antifa autor with his own background that does not sow trust.

2) Bricks and Minifigs and the owners are in a deep Mormon / LDS area of Utah (known as Utah). Local police force, cops raiding and arresting, and quickly turned court rulings all from Mormon background / colleges. Acting in a way that, if the franchise was at fault, isn't doing anything to make it seem like that is the case.

3) Reckless Ben is a views drama farmer for sure. But, the guy does seem to pick clearly shady targets that are adept at skirting the normal process of the law.

I'm in it for the drama.

 

[HornheaDD]

Shit I just watched like 4 1.5 hour long videos about this. It is seriously fucked. That YouTuber guy ended up skipping the country and moving to Mexico lol and B&M is filing a lawsuit as well.

Looks like the original owner of the toys got a huge payout from GoFundMe, so that's good. But these B&M fagits are just getting dragged through the mud lol. Definitely some juicy drama. Not normally into shit like this but it's almost like watching Forensic Files and shit

 

[wyo]

This is peak goob.

 

[dollfucker+]

Meh. I'm sure he was asking for it.

actually no. Mormons stole some old guy's property that was supposed to be sold for consignment. Mormon cops were paid off or something and falsely arrested and harassed the guy for following their laws for filing lawsuits and serving the court summons.

 

[Tarma]

So, he was asking for it.

 

[roker]

If you look into it, the pretense on why he did it is a bunch of bullshit. The police have stated there is no active warrant for his arrest. Don’t fall for it, buddy.

 

[joe8]

Why are the cops after him over Lego? Seems strange.

 

[StevenK]

Why are the cops after him over Lego? Seems weird.

And yet now only the second weirdest thing in this thread

 

[Taiso]

This is peak goob.

When $200K is on the line, it's gone beyond goob territory.

 

[Taiso]

The only way for Bricks & Minifigs to resolve this now that Reckless Ben has fled to Mexico.

 

[roker]

When $200K is on the line, it's gone beyond goob territory.

I think it's more like 80k. The family was receiving some payments before the original franchise owner lost their store.

ARE YOU FUCKS EVEN READING THIS SHIT OR GETTING GOOBED BY YOUTUBE INFLUENCERS!!!

Jesus.

THIS DUDE IS WORKING FOR THE UTAH COPS BRO. BAN PLS

 

[NeoSneth]

Reckless guy is obviously not following best practices for this shit, but I dont care. Even if he is breaking minor laws, it's exposing the other side. Plus, the opposing side is doing much worse.

 

[Burning Fight!!]

Beyond Gooberdrome, two men enter, one goob saddled with legal costs leave
