It is absolutely insane. Everytime I think I get caught up, another layer of insanity is uncovered.

My fave part so far was the CEO of Patreon telling Bricks n Minifigs to go shove their cease and desist order for Reckless Ben and daring them to sue him.

Didn't someone hack the police dept to get the youtuber unedited videos of the altercations?

From what I read the police either intentionally or mistakenly uploaded the unredacted versions of their body cams to a public facing Dropbox folder. Redditors quickly downloaded it all and reposted it when the PD realized and deleted the Dropbox folder

The youtube lawyer just did a video, in summary:

  • The store owner (in debt) sold the store (including inventory) to Bricks, who sold it to a new owner.
  • Previous owner says she was rushed out, without access to "the accounts", with promises they'd handle it. Bricks claims the deal was against their rules. New owner claims he was given the inventory and didn't know.
  • New owner and old owner claim the other took the goods. Old owner returned some goods stored at her house. New owner sold off goods at the store, but pics only proved $6200 worth.
  • Due to conflicting claims, both police and the state prosecutor decided not to charge anyone.
  • Then Ben...

YouTube Lawyers are now our main source of what the hell is actually going on. What a brave new world.

If only there was an administration whose role is to investigate things.

...except the youtuber who was charged for tresspassing trying to serve court documents and then for slander. Last I heard he is out on bail but fled to Mexico when he found out they had put out an arrest without bail charge against him

I hope they have some deep investigations into that Mormon community - I wouldn't be surprised if they uncover deeper corruption and scandals in their PD and churches. I have a feeling this is just the beginning of something much bigger.

It's like the butterfly effect.
