Asmon is getting off the hook. Emi... not quite yet

Ben previously said Part 3 of his investigation was finished, but that he could not post it because of a temporary restraining order in the lawsuit filed by BAM Franchising and other plaintiffs.

The case was later moved from Utah state court to federal court. Now, a federal judge has granted the parties’ joint motion to modify the restraining order and enter a narrower preliminary injunction.

The new order still blocks things like threats, doxxing, trespassing, impersonation, interference with stores, soliciting leaks, and staged confrontations. However, it specifically says the defendants are not prohibited from discussing the plaintiffs, commenting on the lawsuit, publishing court filings, engaging in investigative journalism, or posting opinions, criticism, satire, and commentary on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, podcasts, and other platforms.

That means the broad speech restriction Ben previously cited appears to be gone, and Part 3 is no longer blocked by the order. This seems to be the clearest sign yet that Ben can post again.

Reckles Ben previously said Part 3 of his Bricks & Minifigs series was finished, but that he could not post it because of a temporary restraining order in the lawsuit filed by BAM Franchising and other plaintiffs.

The parties recently appeared to be moving toward a narrower version of that order. BAM and the defendants jointly asked the court to modify the TRO and convert it into a preliminary injunction, with the proposed version specifically allowing commentary, court filings, investigative journalism, opinions, criticism, satire, and posts on platforms like YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and podcasts.

However, the judge declined to sign that modified order, saying part of it was still too broad.

Now, attorneys for Ben have moved the case from Utah state court to the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah. Bryan Mansell also consented to the removal.

The move does not end the lawsuit, and it does not automatically clear Ben to post Part 3. It means the case is now set to proceed in federal court unless it gets sent back to state court. For viewers, the practical takeaway is that Part 3 still appears to be in limbo while the legal fight continues in a new court.

The Batman of Lagos in Jalisco is the closest thing to a real-life Batman I've ever seen, but the criminal justice system in Mexico seems to hate the guy. He stands to serve more time for tying up actual criminals than the bike thieves themselves.

It'd only be a disturbance if he was offering free PS5s

StomperIRL was detained by LAPD after shooting a guy in the leg during a World Cup watch party. A gang of fans then jumped Stomper and beat him until the cops arrived

The owners of the Salem, Oregon BAM have filed to intervene in the civil case between Ben and BAM. They want the Temporary Restaining Order dissolved. If it is dissolved, Ben would be able to post the third part of his investigation

Judge said she watched his live streams and didn't like them lmao

Saw the comparison to other games' shiny symbols, but don't know how that would even work with how recruitment works in Pokopia. It would be a dream come true, though.

BAM told Dextero that they didn't "make any legal attempt to seize the Mansell family GoFundMe account or any other GoFundMe account"

also still claiming that consignment isn't part of their policy

Benjamin Gorman, one of the former owners of the Salem Bricks & Minifigs store, says BAM never gave them a promised itemized inventory after taking over the store.

He claims that inventory was crucial because it could have shown what LEGO was actually missing, and would have allowed the former owners to challenge BAM’s count through a third-party evaluator.

Gorman and Crystal Law also appeared on a four-hour podcast where they claimed they were locked out of emails, POS records, tax documents, and other key paperwork after the takeover
