This article doesn't seem to hit or clarify any of the major points around police and official corruption or the involvement of the Mormon church, which are in my opinion the most interesting part of this.

There was a false report of heroin in a car where police identified the back seat passenger as Ben by name at the beginning of the search. They also arrested him while serving legal papers which is protected, and refused to serve the papers themselves.

This is paid content, so I can't verify, but this whole saga around BAM is fishy. Not just what Ben points out, but also mgs brick. It feels this corporation profits unfairly over the backs of unknowing people. And let's be honest, it feels their church, community protects them, including the police.

> This happens a couple times a year, such as in 2020 when the YouTuber Boogie2988 went to another YouTuber’s house and shot a gun into the air.

Links to a Vice article stating that the opposite happened (other YouTuber came to _his_ house, Boogie2988 fired a shot to scare him off).

Don’t work what’s happening here but that YouTube video explained everything and makes it look like a company just stole some dudes whole collection

When corporations take all the carrots off the table, we are only left with sticks.
