Reckless Ben - Bricks and Minifigs - Corporate and Police Coverup Bonanza Share this everywhere, please help the Mansell family in any way you can. This should be a slam dunk case. I’ll try and keep this updated as videos drop. Part 1, setting the stage, corporate steals lego collection that was to be sold and used for medical expenses for the collector. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wscQpkcwgNU] Bricks and Minifigs (BAM) Corporate PR statement [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWg2bnAqW6k] Leaked BAM corporate email to franchise owners [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMUHGBaF04E] Former BAM franchise owners Benjamin and Chrystal Gorman, speak out with evidence [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zedmOopRTm0] Part 2 has been released on YouTube. Police targeting Ben, redacting audio illegally, etc [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxZPfj8AlmY] BAM CEO goes on livestream and promises to answer Ben’s questions. He, predictably, dodges, lies, and presents no evidence. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAh9eh3KjrU] American Fork Police Chief, imo, outright lying based on the video evidence we’ve seen so far. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcVmSQpIPRY] Ben’s response to the lying police department [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YEzhDn0jY8] Ben talks over the case with The Civil Rights Lawyer on YouTube Part 1 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hs3bElrHKUE] Response from Patreon in regards to BAM trying to takedown Ben’s Patreon page (in an attempt to cut off Ben’s income so he can’t afford lawyers.) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36jxNeV5L1Q] Leaked, previously redacted bodycam footage of sniveling bitch Joshua Johnson. [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_EU4aWBPO_Rc85lCo2V-UA] Several updates making things even messier, questions around Ben’s small claims judgements, questions around value of lego collection, BAM partners distancing themselves. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GECrcOqE5g] Legal Eagle’s review of the situation [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HH09tltEw1U] Copyright Lawyer Leonard French’s overview of the case [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14ktgvoH4Mc] Leonard French Part 2 including RICO charges [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imD2U3kCZTA] Part 2 with The Civil Rights Lawyer, interview with Tyler Shaw [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAu76DjwGGQ] Part 3 is blocked due to the courts being biased [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sISjfdueTYg] Support the creators, Reckless Ben, for the amazing and exhausting work going into all of this, funds go to legal fees and helping the Mansell family who were victims of theft by BAM corporate, and the American Fork, UT police coverup. https://westealfromoldpeople.com/ [https://westealfromoldpeople.com/] Key people: Those who need your support: * Bryan Mansell: The collector whose family allegedly consigned the Star Wars LEGO collection to the Salem-Keizer Bricks & Minifigs store. His family is the one allegedly left without the full collection or proper payment. * Reckless Ben / Ben Schneider: The YouTube creator who entered the story after the Mansell family reached out. His tactics were provocative and legally risky in places, but they turned the dispute into a national controversy. His exposé so far should be treated as a template, in my opinion, for exposing these greedy, inhuman corporations. Thanks Reagan. * Mansell’s Father: The 83-year-old collector who helped build the collection over many years. Due to recent developments in his health, he cannot be unduly stressed as it could be dangerous. His son, with his blessing, was attempting to sell his collection to aid in medical costs (fuck the American healthcare scam, Universal Healthcare let’s go). However, because of these developments, Bryan can’t even inform his father for worry of aggravating his condition. * Chrystal Law-Gorman And Benjamin Gorman: The original Salem-Keizer Bricks & Minifigs franchise operators. They reportedly signed the consignment agreement, handled the collection for months and paid Mansell his share before the store takeover dispute. They have recently put forth evidence that the consignment was allowed according to the franchise agreement they signed as well as they have security camera recordings of BAM corporate agreeing to take on the consignment which is in clear contradictiom to BAM’s claims. Name and Shame * BAM Franchising: The corporate parent/franchisor behind Bricks & Minifigs. BAM’s role matters because the company allegedly stepped into the store transition and later argued that the consignment was unauthorized. The company has claimed that everything Ben has shown are lies without putting forth any evidence of their own. * Ammon McNeff: CEO of BAM Franchising and the main corporate face of the controversy. His response is central to the leadership criticism because he appears to have focused on distancing corporate from responsibility instead of making Mansell whole. He has outright lied on camera in several instances according to the information presented by Ben. * Matt McNeff: COO of BAM Franchising and Ammon McNeff’s brother. He is part of the corporate leadership structure behind the Bricks & Minifigs franchise system. * Ki McAllister: Executive Project Manager at BAM Franchising. Security camera footage and recorded phonecalls show that, on behalf of BAM, he accepted the consignment and threatened to use legal pressure to silence the previous owners. * Brandon Best: One of the post-transition operators tied to Baker Bricks. He is important because the dispute centers on what happened to the store inventory after the takeover and who controlled the remaining consigned sets. He was present in the security camera footage when the former owners mentioned the consignment as he hurried them out of the location. He held the phone in the security footage while Ki McAllister agreed to take on the consignment as part of the ownership transfer. * Joshua Johnson: The other post-transition operator tied to Baker Bricks and American Fork, Utah. He became a major focus after Reckless Ben’s attempts to contact and serve him led to repeated American Fork police involvement. Allegedly, given the evidence Ben presents, convinced the police to arrest Ben for stealing the legos, in which the police execute a search and raid on the residence and arrest all of Ben’s friends and himself while present despite finding no evidence of theft. * Baker Bricks LLC: The entity tied to Brandon Best and Joshua Johnson after the store transition. Its role matters because it appears connected to the new operation that took over the store after BAM’s intervention. * American Fork Police: The Utah police department that became part of the story after repeated interventions involving Ben’s attempts to contact, serve and publicly pressure Joshua Johnson. Their conduct is now one of the most troubling parts of the controversy because it appears biased and retaliatory.

Love/hate relationship with Bethesda Game Studio - Lemmy.World
I love Bethesda’s games, I play them all the time. But as of late, they’ve been milking them more and more with small, useless updates to push paid content. And after I spent a month perfecting my modded load order, they produced yet another useless application update that breaks EVERYTHING and now I have to start all over (which means hours of uninstalling mods and clearing the entire game directory). You make it very hard to love you, Bethesda.
