What this archive is tracking
Ben Schneider, known online as Reckless Ben, is a LEGO content creator who documented an incident involving Bricks and Minifigs American Fork, a used-LEGO franchise in American Fork, Utah.
The controversy centers on the store's acquisition of Bryan's LEGO collection. Ben alleged the purchase was exploitative, launched the “We Steal From Old People” campaign, and published a series of videos that spread widely. A GoFundMe was created to help Bryan recover his collection. The American Fork Police Department also became involved and published their own video.
Throughline collects what each party has made public — videos, documents, social accounts, and police footage — and keeps it organized, sourced, and cross-linked.
