Reckless Ben (Youtuber: Ben Schneider) vs Bricks and Minifigs and CEO Ammon McNeff - $200k in stolen LEGO - SWATTING by Mormon Police - Mexico arrest Avoidance - Major Lawsuits (Civil RICO)
Agreed. Stopped watching when the video portrayed the police negatively for telling them it's a civil matter (it is), making them leave, and giving them a lifetime trespass warning.
"I stopped watching the video because it is unpleasant to my sensibilities and I have an incomplete picture of events but I'm going to act like I know what you're talking about."
Faggot.
Wooo site is back.
The old store owners posted a video, they seem absolutely retarded. The reason the obviously gay husband had to leave the country (which I don't think they ever did) was he was worried about trump coming after his small publishing company. I can see why a gay Mormon owned company would want to take their first opportunity to jettison these weirdos.
It's still weird they won't honor the agreement about the legos. I realize in the grand scheme of things it's really inconsequential, but if it were really so inconsequential then shouldn't they just let the fucking Star Wars toys go?
It's in the fucking contract that the goods belong to the original owners until sold. They didn't sell the goods, they belong to the old guy. I'm under no illusions that Ben is overdramatizing things for views or that his methods could potentially open him up to harrassment charges, but according to their own legally-binding contract, the gay Mormons are still in the wrong here.
Plus that shit where the Utah cops tried to pressure Ben and his friend into giving false confessions of drug possession or raided his Airbnb or whatever the fuck looking for stolen legos gets my blood boiling. I don't care how much of a faggot Ben is or isn't, that shit's intolerable.
Watched Reckless Ben's video today. Sure, it was funny to watch him confront and troll the BAM shysters, but the long-ass Ed, Edd n Eddy schemes were obviously just for views. If he really cared, he'd have started a GoFundMe for Bryan to get a high-roller attorney and seek damages in court.

You do realize lego resellers and 'value speculators" like these bricks and minfigs guys have made star wars lego incredibly unaffordable within the last like 6 years or so alone yeah? Like we're talking people considering $2000 for a mass produced minifig a "fair deal". it's utter cancer and I wouldn't put it past any slimeball even marginally involved in the sudden spike in used lego to pull scummy shit like this case.

The fact they took on a Lego store makes sense when your main “business” is publishing Antifa poetry that even the biggest Portland poseur would shove at the back of their bookshelf. It is funny that this whole trainwreck started in part because a walking stereotype of an upper west coast leftie thinking that his shitty little printing company would get the attention of Drumpfler and “had” to flee the country.
I imagine if you're running a Lego reselling operation you have to accept a certain degree of retardation so long as they bring in money reliably.
In fact these kinds of companies love retards like that because they're easy to corral (as we've seen) and I bet they work for peanuts too.

The problem is, as was pointed out in the video, the cost of a lawsuit would be long and more than the lego is worth.
But he also didn't want the company to win either (or just get away with it) so that's why the GoFundMe wasn't the immediate go to - and when they did do that they got arrested for it. Granted this was after the other attempts to get it back.
Fucking with a company like that is honestly pretty funny, and no more than they deserve.
And we all do things for views one way or another, it's why we add our own 2 cents to the discussion on here and not just writing it on a piece of paper and putting it in the bin, but I don't see a problem with an attention whore putting the attention whoring to some use. Look at Tyler Oliveira, or Nick Shirley - no matter what your thoughts on them may be, you can't deny they bring shit to people's attention.
When all's said and done, we're talking something worth 200k, regardless of whether you like the concept of a lego collection like that or not that's still a whole shit load of money.
Decouple from the idea of it being lego and keep in mind that's 200k these faggots have effectively walked off with.
the most blackpilling thing about this whole fiasco is that a boomer was convinced that legos are an actual asset you should invest into. Reminds me of my Grandpa (RIP) (God Bless) who left my mother and her sister comic books and baseball cards as inheritance. It happens more often than you think, and will happen more often as boomers die out.
While collectibles are a fickle market, Lego as a brand has a lot more staying power than past consumerist things and I don’t see them falling out of style anytime soon. I’d rather inherit rare vintage Lego sets than something like “fine” China with extra cadmium or Hummel figurines.
Or maybe you’re right and while the markets big right now, Legos will just end up being worthless millennial knickknacks in 30 years.

It's an inherent issue with the collectibles market even if artificial scarcity isn't being used as a business tactic. Lego is a big company and likes retiring sets only after a couple years so the aftermarket prices can get very wild. As long as there is high demand and low supply, it will be valuable to someone somewhere.
The people who think this is some Mormon cover up or conspiracy don’t understand group dynamics and are looking for Jews under their bed sheets. Totally raped behavior.
Civil servants aren't supposed to play favorites just because you were frat bros in college, you stupid faggot.
Cities like Lakewood, NJ have the exact same problem where Hassidics run everything and if you're not part of that group you might as well not live there.

Archive of their conversation, while yes the Gorman's hitting all Liberal talking points.
Ben was in it for getting LEGOs back. In case people didn't watch Breadbassket's upload.
WOAHHHH BUDDDDYYYY DOJ
I do hope Bricks and Minifigs hasn't committed any felonies themselves while talking to said DOJ. So I had a hunch that kept bugging me. They term "Buy, Sell, Trade" and Consignment...
Now normally no one ask why that's bothersome.
However I was wondering why the CEO kept saying, "We don't do Consignments."
In Oregon, a buy-sell-trade business is not legally considered a pawn shop, provided your operations do not involve holding personal property as collateral for cash loans.
Key Differences Under Oregon Law:
Buy-Sell-Trade: You purchase used goods outright from individuals for the purpose of resale.
The transaction is a final sale, and the customer does not have the option to pay back the cash to get their item back.
Pawn Shop: You loan money with an interest rate higher than 10% per annum and take personal property as collateral/pledge.
In Oregon, this requires a state pawnbroker's license.
What a Buy-Sell-Trade Business Must Do
Even though you are not a pawn shop, Oregon classifies your enterprise as a "secondhand store" or "buy-sell store." Under ORS 646A.060, you are legally required to:
Verify Identification: Require sellers to present legal proof of identification. Keep Accurate Records: Maintain a log of the customer's name, address, ID type, the date, and a detailed description of the goods you buy.
Local County/City Regulations
While the state distinguishes between a buy-sell-trade business and a pawnbroker, local municipalities in Mecklenburg County or the wider Oregon area frequently group them together in their municipal codes under "Secondhand Dealer" permits.Depending on your exact city, you may be required to register locally and submit regular transaction records to local law enforcement to help prevent the sale of stolen goods. To ensure you comply with the correct regional requirements, check with your local city hall or use the Business Xpress License Directory to verify exact municipal permit rules.
Under Oregon law (governed by UCC Article 9), holding consignment goods can act as collateral for a cash loan, but only if the consignor (the actual owner of the goods) has officially consented and properly perfected their security interest. https://www.oregonlegislature.gov/bills_laws/ors/ors079A.html
Specific rules for this arrangement include:
Consignee Rights: Under ORS 79.0319, while goods are in the possession of the consignee (the merchant holding them), the consignee is legally deemed to have the exact rights and title to the goods as the consignor.
Perfection Requirement:
A consignor must perfect their security interest by filing a UCC-1 Financing Statement and sending authenticated notifications to any prior secured creditors of the consignee.
If the consignor fails to do this, their consigned goods are considered unperfected and can be seized as collateral by the consignee's creditors or bankruptcy estate UCC Consignments and Lending Against Consigned Inventory.
Loan Agreement: A business holding the inventory cannot simply use it as collateral for their own cash loan without a specific Security Agreement in place. If the consignee pledges the consigned inventory to a lender as collateral for a cash loan, the lender's security interest will only take precedence over the consignor's interest if the consignor's interest was unperfected Consignment Agreements vs. Retail Bankruptcy. If you are a lender looking to accept consignment inventory as collateral, or a consignor trying to protect your goods, you should review ORS 79.0103 regarding consignment security interests and purchase-money status.
ORS 79.0319 (UCC 9-319) is an Oregon statute that governs the rights and title of a consignee regarding creditors and purchasers. It specifies that for the purposes of determining the rights of a consignee's creditors, the consignee is treated as having full rights and title to the goods while they are in their possession.
There is a stipulation in the contract that states consignment is allowed according to the previous owners. The damage control at this point is going to cost them more then 200k.

I know and posted it when it was shared, but as per Oregon's laws. Consignment could be considered collateral cash and depending on County, Bricks and Minifigs acting as a Pawn Shop licensed or not.
Now I know many of you here may and may not have been around pawn shops. But, when a $100 ring gets sold to a pawn and it's reported as stolen, cops seize the property and in many cases pawn shops lose the money because of theft.
Now on a technicality the consigned items being $200k LEGO were consigned to Chrystal Gorman as the owner of the franchise at the time. Now said store was forcibly stolen from Chrystal and consigned items are now considered stolen goods by new owners by Oregon's own laws they are holding the sets as collateral and being the ones stealing the sets without even paying back a legal binding consignment.
The head scratcher if this was any other stolen goods the shop would be forced to relinquish ownership.
So the question is why is the DA and Oregon Police refusing to honor what they do to Pawn shops?
And could Pawn Shops now use this against cops as merit against their own collateral considered stolen since the Police are setting a precedent "ownership" can only be proven inside a court room rather than paperwork like with most Pawn Shops.
This is what sticks out to me. If this was just an internet slapfight, that's one thing. But the fact that local governments and law enforcement seem to have some sort of vested interest in protecting BaM despite their obvious wrongdoing is so fucking weird.
At least with the idiots in Utah you can point to all the Mormon mafia bullshit. But Oregon is multiple states away, so what the fuck?

I'll be fair to Oregon police and say there's probably some legal loophole that prevents them from doing anything more than treating it like a civil case. The fact that B&M isn't technically a pawn shop must create some kind of legal distinction.
While the state distinguishes between a buy-sell-trade business and a pawnbroker, local municipalities in Mecklenburg County or the wider Oregon area frequently group them together in their municipal codes under "Secondhand Dealer" permits.
To register a secondhand dealer business in Marion County, Oregon, you must first register your business entity with the state, obtain a local business license or secondhand dealer permit from your specific city (e.g., the City of Salem Business License), and comply with local police reporting regulations for regulated items. [Link][Application Form][Background Check][Site Plan][SEC Code]
Sec. 30.050. - New licenses.
(a)Application.(1)General. An application for a new license shall include the following information, in addition to any other information specifically required elsewhere in this chapter:
(A)The applicant's name;
(B)The names and addresses of all persons who are principals, partners, or corporate officers, and all stockholders holding more than ten percent of the voting stock for any applicant who is not a natural person;
(C)The address to which mail concerning the license may be sent;
(D)All business addresses maintained or to be maintained by the applicant in the State;
(E)The residence address of the person signing the application;
(F)A brief description of the business or vocation for which the license is being sought;
(G)A list of all felonies and misdemeanors of which the applicant has ever been convicted, together with the dates and places of such convictions, if the applicant is a natural person;
(H)A list of any probation violations committed by the applicant within the preceding ten years; if the applicant is a natural person;
(I)If the applicant will be an employee when licensed, the name and address of the applicant's employer;
(J)The signature of the applicant, if a natural person, or otherwise the signature of an authorized agent of the applicant, if the applicant is other than a natural person;
(K)Proof that the applicant has, or will be able to obtain, any insurance or bond required by this chapter.(2)Accessory short-term rentals. In addition to the information required by subsection (a)(1) of this section, an application for an accessory short-term rental license shall include the following:
(4)Dealers in used merchandise. In addition to the information required by subsection (a)(1) of this section, an application for a dealer in used merchandise license shall include the following:
(A)The applicant's date and place of birth;
(B)The applicant's physical description, including height, weight, color of hair and eyes, and identifying scars and marks;
(C)Every alias, assumed name, and any previous legal name ever used by the applicant or by which the applicant has been known.
Step 1: Register Your Business Entity
All businesses in Oregon must register their business name and structure with the state Secretary of State Corporation Division. You will need to file your assumed business name or register as an LLC/Corporation. [Link]
Step 2: Obtain Local City Permits & Licenses
Because Marion County itself relies on individual city municipalities for local retail business licensing, you must apply for a secondhand dealer permit in the jurisdiction where your storefront is located:
Inside City Limits (e.g., Salem, Keizer): Contact the local city hall. In Salem, you must apply for a used merchandise business license at the City of Salem Permit Application Center. You will typically need to complete a personal history form and consent to a background check City of Salem Apply for a Business License. Unincorporated Marion County: If you are outside of city limits, you will still need to register your business name with the state, but Marion County primarily enforces building/zoning codes for the business location rather than issuing a specialized
Secondhand dealers are allowed to conduct consignment sales in Oregon. State and local regulations specifically classify the sale of goods on consignment as a secondhand dealer transaction.
However, you must adhere to specific state and local rules to operate legally:
Local Permits & Reporting: If you operate a secondhand store in Mecklenburg County or elsewhere in Oregon, you likely need a local Secondhand Dealer Permit. You may be required to log inventory and submit detailed transaction reports to local police.
Businesses that buy and sell used or new property that is frequently the subject of theft (“regulated property”) must have a secondhand dealer permit. Acquisitions of regulated property must be reported to the Portland Police Bureau, and the item must be held for a set period of time before it is made available for sale.
Secondhand dealer permits are nontransferable and are valid for a single business location.
Holding Periods: Many jurisdictions require dealers to hold all consigned goods (especially "regulated property" like jewelry, electronics, or collectibles) for a set period, such as 15 days, before they can be sold or payment can be disbursed.
Okay, yeah what is DA and Police doing in Marion County WITH THAT being rules and regulations on Secondhand Dealer??
