For the legal gurus, serving papers via email is legal?

I mean, he's admitted that he has them, so neither here nor there now, but I always thought you had to be served in person?
The whole point of service is to provide notice to the party being served.

Ben repeatedly admitted on his videos that he absconded and is avoiding personal service.

The judge can permit alternative service if: (1) the purported defendant absconds and avoids service, and (2) the alternative service will provide notice. Thus, the Court permitted the Plaintiff to serve Ben by email.

I was just about to come here and post this own, it’s amazing what one can find out when you step back and look at the numbers. Great video and while it certainly paints the original owners as dolts, it also does no favors for corporate and I do think that they took some of those legos, just not $100K worth. Only $20-$25K worth

Burning your whole corporation down over a matter of what may be $60k is unbelievably stupid. And that may be exactly what the McNeffs are doing.

Just noticed Lego hasn’t posted on Twitter since Elon took over, but will respond to tweets.


fricking cucks can’t even fully boycott
No wonder they are silent on pricks and minidicks

It's good. The original franchise couple is not without blame in all of this

The one saving grace was the woman was on camera telling them about the Star wars Legos as they were taking over the store.

So them pretending they didn't know and trying to throw them under the bus just makes them look worse.

It doesn't matter to me if it was $5k worth of Legos. The CEO is a lying sack of shite.

After watching the whole thing, I think Crystal stole a lot of it

The Coffeezilla video does make Crystal look like she has some culpability

That doesn't excuse BAM and the way they have acted

And this is the big issue.

BAM had custody of the store and the records. And they decided to big dick Brian instead of doing their due diligence.

He’s an arrogant a-hole but he may not necessarily have known.

At this point, I’m assuming Brandon and Josh stole a lot from the Salem store in order to lower the amount they had to pay to take it over.

He has a 'tell' when he is lying. If you watch him closely, every time he lies, he looks down or away. Just like when Ben confronted him at corporate HQ and I noticed him doing it in the Coffeezilla video

and shows even more why corporate should have listened to Bryan and tried to make him right/whole and do the right freaking thing from the start instead of big dicking him, gaslighting him, and now suing him.

look how easy it was to get to the bottom of this in just one sit down interview with coffezilla, and normal corporate business would have taken an hour to figure out the truth and do things right by a customer

instead the McNeffs and BAM are clearly extremely shady business operators either way…then the abuse of law enforcement takes it all to another level

That has been the case since day one.

If McDonald’s takes over a franchise, the Taylor company doesn’t go after corporate to recover the unpaid ice cream machine…they get in line with the franchisee’s other creditors.

This minifig drama is no different. It just has a YouTuber adding reality TV drama for social media clout.

They previously said none of the Legos were in the store. That was clearly a lie.

And the U haul truck that wasn't in Ben's piece. The brother CEO sat there and lied about the U haul truck not being there the night of the take over.

The two McNeffs can't get out of their own way. They keep making it worse.

That's kinda how I feel about it.

An injustice probably occurred, but could be righted for a relatively low cost that no one seems to want to pay lol. Instead we've gone the social media route where some kid, intentionally or not, facilitated this absurd circus for social media clout.


He said it himself in one of his recent videos. Getting a lawyer involved from the beginning wouldn't have resulted in content, so that was a non-starter.
