Compilation of all resources
In an effort to consolidate, I've compiled all the different coverage and resources I've seen shared.
Bishop Contacts
These are the LDS bishops for the individuals involved. DO NOT HARASS THE CLERGY, THEY ARE VOLUNTEERS. If you're going to contact them (using the send a message button on the links), politely ask them to consult with their members about their conduct and how it reflects on the church (LDS is very conscious of their public image and reputation).

I called and confirmed that Josh and Brandon own this BAM location in Eugene, OR
They are still making money in Oregon, but this doesn’t seem to be widely known.

Anyone else getting these ad placements?
And any accident this started happening after I watched Part 2?

Just when you think it can’t get any worse, they steal a bird!
This is from the prior owner of the Keizer, OR location! So heartbreaking that even a bird got caught in the crossfire of this situation.

Join me in contacting LEGO directly over concerns about BAM conduct regarding recent events!
If enough of us contact the LEGO Group, maybe they will make a statement, or even better, distance themselves from BAM.
https://www.lego.com/en-us/service/contact-us/topics
I chose "I need help with something else" -> "My topic isn't listed" on the above page. Below is a sample paragraph for the text body (of course, change yours to reflect yourself and your concerns):
"Hello,
I am writing as a long-time LEGO enthusiast and collector who is deeply concerned about the recent conduct of an independent LEGO reseller and franchise, Bricks & Minifigs (BAM).
It has recently come to wider public attention that a BAM location in Oregon entered into a contractual agreement to sell a large LEGO Star Wars collection on behalf of an elderly man and his family. According to the agreement, ownership of the collection remained with the family until the items were sold, with BAM taking a commission from those sales.
Unfortunately, the original owner of that BAM location was reportedly forced out by BAM corporate while much of the collection was still in the store. Afterwards, the new owner refused to return either the remaining LEGO sets or the proceeds from sold items, despite the family presenting their contract. BAM corporate also refused to cooperate or assist the family, and local law enforcement considered the matter a civil dispute.
The family later pursued the matter in small claims court with the help of some friends and won a judgment. However, the location immediately closed permanently, leaving the family unable to recover what the court awarded them.
I understand that the LEGO Group does not own Bricks & Minifigs. However, BAM stores prominently use LEGO branding and exclusively deal in LEGO products, which creates a strong public association between the two companies. Because of that association, situations like this can reflect poorly on the LEGO brand and the values many fans (such as myself) associate with it.
I ask that the LEGO Group at least review this situation internally and consider whether any response, guidance, or public statement is necessary regarding its relationship with Bricks & Minifigs and the standards expected of businesses operating so closely alongside the LEGO brand.
Thank you for your time and consideration."
