It's very possible that the original claim about the legos isn't true, it could be a complicated legal issue that the original people don't fully understand or they are misrepresenting the agreement, but the guy is on video saying if he's sued (which is the perfect, appropriate way of resolving this) that he'll just drag it out so long that it won't be worth it anymore. So, regardless of the merits of the original claim, he himself made "doing it the right way" impossible and brought this on himself. the reckless ben guy himself did a bunch of dumb stuff, some of it illegal, which isn't okay, but that is now not the point lol

When my brother became a contractor he went down to SLC to do construction prior to the 2002 Winter Olympics since there was a big housing boom going on. He got ruthlessly screwed over with people who kept promising to pay him later, so he would go onto another job to try and make money and keep the ball rolling. Eventually he couldn't get anyone to pay, tried to get the police involved, the police sided with the locals and said there was no proof he did any work and threatened to arrest him if he didn't leave the city. Completely fucked my brothers life up, put him tens of thousands of dollars into debt, and was the trigger point that pushed him over the edge, into drugs, and destroyed his life.
