https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-bryan-recover-his-lego-collection has not achieved $550k yet, but right now is close on $526,628

Since Bryan will be paid out now by BAM (which I will believe only after the money is on Bryan's bank account - BAM still might file for bankruptcy), he does not need the GoFundMe any more.

However, I feel that Ben still will pay out Bryan that money. But this may take more time, until the legal disputes between BAM and Ben will be settled.

How do you feel? What will happen with the GFM money?

136 minutes interview with some inside details, how poor support from BAM franchise had been.

The BAM store site https://bricksandminifigs.com/orem-ut/about-us/ describes:

>The Owners.

>Ammon McNeff & Matt McNeff are brothers who grew up in Orem, Utah. They have always wanted to open a family centered store that their own friends and family could enjoy. They also have an immense love for LEGO® and wanted to share that love with their children. Little did they know that they could combine both dreams! On September 8th, 2017 the McNeff’s opened a Bricks & Minifigs™ (BAM™) store in Orem. Since then the team has grown and we call ourselves the BAM™ FAM.

However, BAM was sold to them in April 2018?

So they were franchisees on their own, before they took over the company?

Neither the timeline nor bricksandminiffigs appear to cover that.

ChivoTV summarizes from podcasts about the upcoming part 4 from Reckless Ben and what has happened to other franchisees. He sped up RB's quotes so that they sound like a mickey mouse voice. I did not notice any news yet - he names the already known cases from e.g. Florida. So nothing new for now...

Ammon had blamed Chrystal for three different styles of book keeping.

I wonder: has that not been what actually would have been required here?

1. regular buy and sell
2. buy and sell from the consignment, pay out Bryan
3. layaways - where typical 10 % will be paid in advance and will be (fully?) paid back if it's not collected within 30 days

Are there any known reactions yet whether the TV stations or other formats will try to confront Ammon with what he had told them before, compared to the current facts and arguments from part 3?

Their interviews mostly relied on Ammons claims. Coffeezilla was the most famous one who had confronted Ammon with actual facts.

So is it known whether they try to get a reaction, whether they know ask Ammon for actual proof for his claims or whether they will tell us that they tried and Ammon now hides below some rocks and refuses any further comment - adding research of their own what was proofen wrong?

The TRO was supposed to be decided on 2026-06-30, right?

The initial hearing with judge Tony F. Graf Jr. ended with a new date on 2026-07-01 08:30?

What happened to these lawsuits which should have progress this week?

After moving the case by Ben's lawyers to a federal judge the TRO remains in place - in theory endlessly? The original 14 days limit has passed long ago. But nobody seems to be perfectly sure whether the gag order is still in place or not.

What's the typical power consumption of current raspi models?

I see the max specs of

• RP5: 5 V * 5 A = 25 W (bundled with e.g. 27 W USB-C supply)
• RP4: 5 V * 3 A = 15 W (USB-C)
• RP3: 5 V * 2.5 A = 12.5 W (Micro USB or GPIO)
• RP2: 5 V * 2.5 A = 12.5 W (Micro USB or GPIO)

The original Raspi 1 B used about 1.5 W (idle) up to 3.5 W (max CPU). So they were suitable vor battery powered operations. They were suitable for control and monitoring operations without much CPU requirements.

I feel the RP5 compares more to current Mini-PCs, which are within the same price and CPU range. But I have no clue how the current Cortex-A76 compares to e.g. an AMD Ryzen Embedded V1605B, Intel Pentium Silver N5030 or Intel Core i5-8265U

Do you have any numbers about

1. idle
2. typical
3. max

power consumption of RP 5, 4, 3, 2, maybe with or without external graphics?

Did you find a duel today? Did you receive any watering bonus?

Here there was absolutely nothing.

Wie geht's euch mit den 15-Minuten-Youtube-Kurzvideos?

Erfreulicherweise sind die Videos immerhin 17 Minuten lang, incl. der Zwei-Minuten-Werbung vorab.

Dafür geben sie in #03 wieder genug Bühne für Knossi, der nach der Fanblast-Betrugsmasche für mich noch unerträglicher ist als vorher.

Insgesamt springt bei diesen kurzen Videos noch kein Feuerbohrer-Funke bei mir über.
