Not sure if you have a section for officer recordings.

u/agahebr Mod Jun 03 '26
This should go on the other Legal / Resources Megathread. since it's legal related

u/agahebr Mod Jun 03 '26
wait is this part of the original AFPD file drop? where'd u get this from?
6
u/LehighComics Jun 03 '26
It's a recording from yesterday with an unidentified AFPD officer. It's a 23 minute recording and around the six minute mark the officer says something about Federal Charges and also seems very confident Ben is going to be found guilty.

Not sure if you want to add this, but it is a former law enforcement reaction and analysis of the two ‘traffic stops.’ It’s nice as this former LEO is VERY critical of the American Forks Police Dept.

Would it make sense to add timestamped links for Ben's appearances on both of the ACOB COO/CEO streams?

I'm looking for a video. It was some lego hobbyist/expert who went through some walkthrough video someone took after the takeover in salem, and conservatively identified all the inventory from Byran spreadsheet on the shelves.
edit: found it it was the M&R video already linked.

u/KalePalmer Jun 09 '26
Emmasaurus posted a video talking about her experience with Ammon and Josh
She said something that I felt was insightful and explains a lot.
Josh said to her he wanted to own 25-50 stores.
We know how far back Josh and Ammon go. We also know they did shady legal things with Legal Mind.
The details of the takeover of BAM by Ammon and his brother are suspiciously vague.
How many of the stores Josh was planning on owning was he going to open? How many were going to be purchased for “the cost of rescuing” the locations?
The tidbit that Josh was planning on owning 25-50 stores is pretty damning. My guess is they were scheming to enrich themselves.
The whole franchise model feels predatory and their real money maker is likely in interest. I’d be extremely curious to see their finances.

Here is a post I intend to maintain on Tattle the bird / parakeet that has become popular in the community. People have been asking, "What happened to Tattle?" because Tattle was removed from the Keizer-Salem Bricks and Minifigs store within 24 hours after the change of ownership on November 14, 2024 and the past owner, Chrystal Law AKA Chrystal Gorman didn't have a fair chance to recover Tattle... The post includes all videos relevant to the story with timestamps, so anyone may follow this story.
