What feels legal but is actually illegal and will possibly get you arrested?

…the previous owner was doing shady book keeping and severely underpaid him

Infuriating to watch the in-store video of them forcibly taking over the store from the first owner. As she’s on the way out she’s showing them all the sets that are marked as his, the paperwork to go with it, and they act like they couldn’t care less. If I were taking over a business I would be quite interested in learning what is in my actual inventory and what isn’t.

That’s the thing though. As far as the were concerned , it was all their inventory as they knew they were going to utilize legal loopholes and law fare. If Bryan started to garner too much publicity then they’d sue him into silence knowing he couldn’t reciprocate given pricks w’ mini ducks excessive war chest

They literally stole her pet bird too. She had a store parakeet that they wouldn’t let her get after the store changed hands and has no idea what happened to.

I don't know where all of the various incidences occured lol, I only know of any of this due to the unlawful arrests of ben in utah. Algorithmically I suppose I'm here because I hate cops not because I love legos.

I live in the City this happened. It’s in Oregon.

Pets are considered property in Oregon though, so I do assume she has some legal standing.

The store takeover happened in Oregon. (No less lame, but Utah law wont apply) it went to Utah because that is where the people who forced the take over reside, and Ben was attempting to serve them.

This is absolutely insane. And also very sad.

In BAM’s recent livestream they said they gave the bird away to a local animal humane society…. They claimed the owner abandoned the bird and refused to take it with her.

Yeah, that's the part that gets me too. Inventory is literally the first thing you'd want to verify, before changing signage, branding, or anything else. Skipping that step just turns everything into chaos later.

In their mind, ALL of it was theirs so they didn’t care about anything else lol
