Anyone Else Following the Stolen Star Wars Legos Epic? Reckless Ben is the Michael Moore of 2026 [View all]
I found this guy a couple years ago when he infiltrated the cult that runs Yellow Deli, "the Twelve Tribes". They took him to a remote location and demanded his glasses (which have a video camera in them).
He does confrontational journalism with humor, kind of like what Michael Moore used to do but he puts his own liberty and physical well being at risk over and over. On the new one, he was contacted by an older man whose 80YO father had a huge collection of Star Wars Legos allegedly stolen during the transfer of ownership from a franchisee of a chain that resells collectibles. This was about $200K that they were selling on consignment and the money was going to be the father's legacy gift.
The chain told the son to pound sand because they would just make it not worth his money to pursue them in court. So Ben got involved and the whole thing has gone viral.
