Part 4 update
just a little update on how part 4 is coming. We finally finished filming it but now we just have to edit it and here's a little sneak peak behind the curtain.
Comments (190)
We've been waiting over a month for you to "edit the video". Who's gonna do a docuseries on Reckless Ben ripping off his patreon supporters?
😍
I will wait for your next video
I'm still watching all of your YouTube videos to
I'm still subscribed
When is episode 4 coming out?
Ben, I can’t find your account on Spotify! Did they take it down
Your content may be the best on the web. Amazing! As you continue to blow up and gain followers, you should organize your stuff and wrap or tell us if things will be wrapped. What happened to Russ McKamey? Did you actually sue the Yellow Deli? When does the statute of limitations end on Lucifer Valentine? What happened with the Go Big lawsuit? (Side note - Why is the Banksy video on the @Islamic123-b-y1y Youtube channel???) We want to know conclusions or at least if you intend to wrap them at some point. The YouTube playlists help, but there are still a ton of gaps. Are any of the YouTube videos re-monetized now?
Buckle up, tldr; when Peter Spiegel met the McNeff brothers at a Provo Canyon fundraiser. Turns out they were using the exact same shady business tactics, but neither knew they'd been taught by the same mysterious mentor. Years later, Reckless Ben noticed the similarities while investigating Ideal Living and Bricks & Minifigs. He startes digging and somehow connectes Legally Mine, McKamey Manor, Provo Canyon, and even Scientology through a massive network of shell companies. Eventually everything leads back to this mysterious guy named Vincent Valentine, this bitch was pulling the strings all along. Then ben found some old photos and records showing Vincent has the exact same fingerprints and voice as him. Turns out Vincent erased his own memory and became Reckless Ben. So basically investigating... Yeah spoiler alert
Ben are you going to address the claims Scott Shafer has made in his videos that you are intentionally lying and distorting the truth in your videos for views and monetisation? As someone that has followed you from the beginning i'd be very disappointed if this is the route you are now taking.
Dudes gotta make money man it's literally part of the job, don't let some jealous YouTuber make you not enjoy content you did before, even if he did bend the truth, what matters is the friends you made a long the way
Shafer Scott is right about Reckless Ben 1. Just cuz Peter Spiegel knew of JKP existence doesn't prove that Ideal Living financially supported them... and that 10 million dollar bond/payment claim is very misleading and far from the reality when Hays County only collected 1.2 million dollars in total including just 200k from a settlement with Spiegel himself. 2. Ben already knew that Kripalu Maharaj had died in 2013, while Prakashanand Saraswati fled before sentencing in 2011 and remains a fugitive... but somehow he thinks it's okay to edited the documentary in a way that made it seem like both were still alive and on the run. 3. The real meaning of "Jagadguru" actually means something like the "world's teacher" or "guru of the world," and not "God walking on earth" as Ben claimed 4. Ben also lied about how many people looked up to him as a god, he said 100 million without any valid evidence while the real figure is only 2 to 10k members. 5. David Najar aka (“Cockroach Octopus”) is allegedly still allowed to work with children even after being accused of sexual misconduct involving a former student that is a minor back in 1999 and 2001... That's why I find it weird that Reckless Ben blurred his face in that documentary if he had credibility. 6. Myra and David clearly denied threatening Ideal Living for money... while the evidence shows that David used a nine-figure demand to scare/blackmail Peter Spiegel, It's still sus that the case ended without a final verdict proving whether they actually committed extortion.
I hope this Situation sets a new precedent but I bet it’s going to be bad. If we ever even see it… smh
Just don’t spend any money on this
You got the legos back the public knows the truth but they will continue to lie and none of these videos matter so uno reverse them
You have to start an animated series or be smarter and let this go
I’m poor so I had to cancel my Patreon stay up Ben you doing bad but better than ever. Legally you are fucked tho
I stand by you!!!!
Keep fighting the good fight!
we still going against the afpd?
Look bud I know you struck gold with B&M and I’m here for it but no patreon updates on ANY STORY in nearly a month is pretty whack bro.
Hey Ben, I had a thought about your censorship issues on YouTube and was wondering why you don’t post the unedited version on Twitter. I know not everyone uses it, and it isn’t the best app, but you could earn some supplemental income and it could spark an even more widespread conversation on all of your different stories because more creators would likely tweet about it. Just a thought! Hope you’re doing well bro
slay
Bro no posts this month….
Hi, I’m new here. I love your content Ben. I’m not even American but I really appreciate that someone in your backwards country is exposing the evil. I’m here because I want to support, but also because you said you’ve been working on a movie that would be available here. But I can’t really find anything . Did I misunderstand anything? Thanks for your work dude
Mad cool
Hi Ben! “trying” as an adjective means difficult, stressful, annoying, or hard to endure. It describes a situation or person that tests your patience and causes frustration. In a sentence: “After being robbed of his grandfather’s record-breaking Star Wars Lego set collection, Brian found himself in trying times. Unbeknownst to him, the man he reached out to for help was the most creative and persistent crime fighter of his time… and the perfect hero for the job.”
Absolute hero!
I go in the discord sometimes if anybody wants to join
Ben can you please let us know that you are okay 😢 I’ve been a bit worried!
I love to imagine there is a BAM lawyer who has subbed for insider info looking at all these brick by brick comments XDDD
Hate to put something else on your radar, but you can google your chapter of the Freemasons, go to the website, and apply. I did it to see if they responded and it took like a year but they did respond and they responded positively. Edit to elaborate. I had to find the closest Masonic Temple, I went to the "contact me" page and was like "I am interested in joining but I am unaware of how to. I have read about your values and they heavily align with mine" blah blah blah and the email they sent back was wanting to tell me more. Got scared though cause I'm a baby.
Also, I would not share the reply word-for-word. The digital watermark is smart, but they might create 4 different videos with different wording. Once they narrow to one of the possible quarter, they can then do that again and again, until they sus out who is giving you this information. Be evil smart like them and anticipate their underhandedness.
I wish every city and town in America had a Reckless Ben to fight for justice.
Gosh they suck. Y’all are doing great though! Keep it up!
Sounds like they knew you would read that and wrote it in directly to you. 😂
Thanks for the update Ben and I finally got my Ammon and Josh statues 🙌
stop clicking your mouth man... bugs the shit out of me lol
How do I get that shirt
Investigate PSA pokemon card scams
You are the best Ben! Brilliant! May your trolling always trump the control freaks and crooks!
Hey Ben, I genuinely believe in your missions. I support you and I think a lot of people do. With that said, I think you’re slacking off a little. People who are supporting your Patreon such as myself do so that you have the funding to keep going. You don’t put out enough content.i see you are on YouTube.. is your Patreon worth spending the money on?
We need to see this all the way through! Do not settle with them or the Utah police. And sue that airbnb landlord for false reporting that he heard you guys had stolen the legos through his video cameras that resulted the encounter with the SWAT team. Destroy all, brick by brick!
Nice to see their strategy. Corporate still thinks this will die down soon, nothing to see here. But the greatest part is that you are now trying to help every franchisee to get back on track. This really is extremely fantastic. Because they‘re totally helpless in this situation. Now it‘s up to them to choose the right side.
Ben you’re the best!!!
Ben, could you sell more brick by brick tshirts?
BRICK BY BRICK.
“Trying situation”, is a thing Ben.
Brick by brick! 🧱
Maybe your a business conultant, consulting brands to protect their image against their corperate bosses.
BRICK BY BRICK
Matt did actually mean “trying” situation. It’s kind of an old-fashioned way to say “difficult” or “facing hardship”. It is certainly a “tiring” situation as well! Brick by Brick!
I am glad to be a subscriber and supporter of Reckless Ben.
GOOD JOB BEN! KEEP UP THE GOOD FIGHT!
Oh my sweet summer child, he did mean trying 🤣
I feel like I'm on a business zoom call with Ben
Like ive said before ive never paid for anything including patron and ive been paying you since the begining of the mckamey videos. I am so appreciative of your efforts and standing up for the little guy. Youre hilarious and a perfect example of how we should all act. Thank you for being a good human. Very excited to see the new video and everything you get into in the future. Keep up the amazing work.
Reckless Ben was only 90% reckless to me before seeing this video, but now, he's got the extra 10% (non-matching socks)! That's reckless and even dangerous! All jokes aside, great video, keep 'em coming!
Nice video hopefully the video transcript is not watermarked as well, for example trying instead of tiring is sus. Also monday is sus since they did not do anything, maybe they gave a different date to each franchise
Thank you Ben for the update. They were so comical!! You did it! Too bad you have to go through all the court battle.
For some reason, I can't view this video. (and a few others on here) I use Linux, and Brave browser. Anyone else?
Every time they open their mouths and do something they just make sure more people will be watching because its no longer BORING...
Brick by brick
WAIT, you have 2 different SOCKS!!! thats awesome my dude brick brick brick!
Ohh I hope that “trying/tiring” typo wasn’t a watermark…
they can stay boring and fade away while Reckless Bricks can make noise and money :)
Good luck with that BAM. We will never let them get away with this and we will continue to haunt them day and night.
Still breaking Patron I see lol
"trying situation" is actually correct too - so the McNeffs actually got something right for once!
Was about to say this
Transcribe the video and release the text
Thank you for all the hard work Ben!
Lmao they say they're gonna be "boring" but I'm sure they'll screw that up too. 🤣💀
RB is the king of teasers
Really rooting for y’all, do neither of the two shops have an online store yet? I figured I could probably get some of my holiday shopping out of the way while also supporting these stores.
Branching out from stealing from old people I see...
Thank you Ben
Hey everything seems a bit hectic for you now but as a viewer i just want to give you your flowers and say CONGRATULATIONS you got Brians legos back, the intention you had so many months ago! The goal everyone was rooting for you to achieve! When we achieve our goals we sometimes forget where we started, because the new goal has been set - but it's worth reflecting on your success! All the best wishes to you Ben - love and truth will save the day :-)
Brick by Brick!! Justice for Tattle 🦜 Justice for franchisees!! F BAM and AFPD!
The Franchisees need to class action.
Where is your Iran video?
There is such a pattern of BAM's ego's constantly getting in the way of their success.
They really really really don't want to do the chicken dance
They're going to make the circus less chaotic by hiring more clowns.
Hey brother. Keep sticking it to the man
FUCK YES FUCK BRICK N BRICKS
Fuck BAM
Just.... Don't settle. Thats all I ask. I crsve a verdict against those SOBs
goated locations
My payment finally went through I'm still watching YouTube As much as I can I can't the cowards went silent I'm still subscribing because you make great content I might not be able to subscribe every month I will keep watching all of your videos
Yo why is Peter spiegel still like not being talked about?
I mean just in general not by reckless ben
when will you update us on the indian cult man
brick by brick
I am so thrilled to see this in my notifications after a long day of work! Love keeping up with you Ben! Keep going, and may the Lord be with you!
"That place is kinda disgusting". Lol ben is hilarious
Thanks Ben! On a separate note, anymore updates on the human trafficking ring? Also, please be safe!
May I offer you an egg in these tiring times?
Please Ben, stop sucking your teeth between sentences!
They just got the preliminary injection turned into a permanent injunction with so many less teeth. As you said, you just entered a Reckless Bricks, not a BaM failing franchise. (Sorry TJ)
Get em my man I saw the lego figures are otw super exited
Ben should speak to a lawyer
He does! Solomon something if I recall correclty, one of the best recommended by the civil rights lawyer on YT.
Brick by Brick
We love you Ben💙🩵💙🩵 Everything you do is amazing ! (Fan from Montréal)
Keep putting pressure on them Ben. Brick by Brick.
If Ben ends up the CEO of Bricks n MiniFigs and renames it Reckless Bricks I will start a petition for him to win the Guy Of The Year award. What a maniac this strangely childish genius man boy is
All they had to do is give the damn LEGO back. This is all self inflicted for trying to fuck the Mansell family over! Brick by Brick!
I just hope he's being careful. That's all. Health is important dude.
Amon had never brought joy to anyone.
I somewhat doubt their claim of being able to fully watermark the audio. In any case, if you find some friends who are into doing theater, you could stage a re-enactement. Those are perfectly fine as long as you clearly label it with "re-enactment" displayed on the screen.
All they have to do is change one word or pronunciation, which is absolutely something I wouldn’t put passed them doing. They’re smarmy fucks
I dont understand why the landlord is even listening to BAM. If the store owner is the one on the lease, the landlord has no obligation to listen to BAM.
I thought the same thing. Civil matter just like they told Ben.
Nah dawg they meant trying situation
Re their game plan of being boring and then pretending to be good: that would have worked if they had led with that. And it still might work in like.. a year or so. But the BAM corpo folks really messed up-- they set themselves up as a "heal" in the pro-wrestling sense at a time when everything in the world seems evil and sucks. They will now be a lightning rod for a long time.
🫡
This will never get boring, in my opinion. I’ll follow your court cases till the end! Let’s go to trial!!
Thanks for continuing to stick up for the little guy.
Brick by Reckless Brick
I'm really hoping you consulted with your attorneys before doing these Reckless Bricks conversions. I fear it will backfire on you. I wish you the best Ben and company.
Best story arc ever
Please make sure Ammon has to take the stand. Either he has to tell the truth, or he'll get caught lying. Don't settle!
Been watching since the scientology days, this is epic! I'm so happy this series finally sent Ben all of the recognition he deserved!
Thank you for the update Ben, there’s a lot more bad companies out here to expose! I’m excited for the upcoming videos!!
My body is ready
sounds like coping and damage control. Lol they are struggling for sure
All of us have continued paying for patreon, but the promised weekly lives and regular posting hasn't happened... Love your stuff Ben, just would love to get more of a sneak peak.
That’s how it always is. The weekly lives and regular posting is something he needs to update as patreon perks because he hasn’t done that ever as far as I know. I’ve been a patreon subscriber for a while before the Lego scandal
What’s going on with the civil against the corrupt fucking cops? 👮
What’s going on with the criminal case against yall??
Hell yes. Deserved!!! Nicely going
I LOVE YOU BEN
Since they are being boring, will be boring, by solving the problems BAM messed up with.
BAM didn’t choose the hard way, they chose the dumb way. And they keep making it dumber.
can they still do the chicken dance to finish all of this?
Brick by brick
Let's go baby
I hadn’t seen that he got his legos back! LETS GO!
Not really. He got some money and 30 " sets they found". He's already said not all of them were his.
Damn that’s insane. Bro WE ARE ALL PRAYIN’ for you dawg!! Good luck.
two thumbs up
It was so cool to see you on Wired and in Mark Rober's vid!
also, did you get multiple versions of the videos from the franchisees that are watermarked? if not, you might want to make sure the information is consistent in each just in case he gave slightly different info in each in addition to the watermarks especially since he claimed hell file against you specifically on monday but then didnt
Thanks ben!! Be careful hopefully they become so boring that they go out of business 🥱
Getting pretty bold with the victory lap, but they deserve it. At this point, I'm sure they've realized that they just look worse the harder they fight.
Cant wait to watch it. When is the next Ideal Living one coming out?? That one is off to such an interesting start!!
good man, im glad youre helping the poor franchisees
If we're being honest here... BAM being boring can work at shedding attention. By boring I mean settling all outstanding lawsuits against them and former franchises and then dropping all the lawsuits BAM has against Ben and anyone associated with this whole story.
Unfortunately what they consider boring is just staying off of MS Now and filing injunctions and a bunch of BS legal strategies that are complicated and get dragged out. They think that won’t be put under the spotlight because it it’s not any kinda of media response that will get clipped up. But it’s too late for that shit because the whole world is watching and paying attention to everything, including their judicial moves, and we know exactly what’s going on.
Open one in the UK see BAM try and go there!
And Australia too 🇦🇺
Is Reckless Bricks going to continue as a branding effort for other franchisees?
Ben idk what they did but the exact wording could be a watermark on its own. I wouldn't do that.
It’s already on the bam map so Ben’s not sharing anything that bam hasn’t seen
reckless bricks brother
Visited the Tucson Reckless Bricks! Place was lit! Everyone couldn’t of been nicer
There's a Bricks & Minifigs near me. I wonder if they want to change their name as well. That would be so cool!!!
Oh man. What about the claims you’re infringing on their trademark with a similar looking logo?
I'm not a trademark attorney, but it seems to me "Reckless Bricks" is distinct enough from "Bricks And Minifigs" that it shouldn't be an issue BAM could win on in court.
what’s good, benizens?
Thank God we now have proof of life! Love your show Ben!
Brick by brick 🧱
Brick by reckless brick!!!
