If you thought the Bricks and MiniFigs drama was over, nope, and it got even hotter as they threatened Ben with Jail time if he even mentions the name of the company.
This isn't isolated. On the QRT, there is a Utah man who posted that the same American Fork PD told him his $527k construction loan fraud was a “civil case”. They told him that they wouldn’t investigate and were told to go hire a lawyer. This person has been fighting it for 7 years... and yes... This is the SAME department that treated Reckless Ben like a criminal while defending Bricks and minifigs. The same Mormon mafia circles...
It's the same problem wherever there are parallel societies. They circle the wagons, handle threats internally, and it's far worse than any kind of "small town" mentality.
If you browse social media, there are tons of other stories of people losing five to six-figure dollar sums in franchise deals, scams, contractor disputes, property fraud, and family business-related thefts in Mormon hotspots against people who aren't.
Every other complaint follows the same pattern where the PD tells them it's civil and they don't investigate... "go hire a lawyer."
It doesn't help that there is an overrepresentation of Mormons in the FBI-CIA and many law enforcement agencies that look the other way all too many times.
If the Mormons want to squelch the drama, hold the fraudsters, scammers, and the corrupt accountable instead of trying to silence the critics. Or else the Streisand effect is going to get louder.
Oh boy! I’m seven years into fighting my case civilly. I reported it to the American Fork police, who informed me that investigating could delay my case and referred it as civil.
I had $527,000 stolen from my construction loan fund. The work done had been paid by all my principal pre-loan. It’s not even my signature, and they used it on multiple draws without my consent, claiming they paid for construction—just failing to tell my bank they used my funds.
