**Ben** (0:52)
Hi, how's it going? So basically, my friend said that you guys have some of his Legos.

**Graham Stephan** (0:57)
You can go ahead and wait now.

**Ben** (0:59)
This story is so much bigger than just stealing $200,000 worth of Lego.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:03)
Tonight's story began with a missing Lego collection and ended with a SWAT raid.

**Jack Selby** (1:09)
What charges are you facing right now?

**Ben** (1:10)
Oh my gosh. Okay, we got so much. We got criminal stalking when I tried to serve in court papers, cyber-stalking when I made the GoFundMe. I've already been to court I think three times for each of those, and those court cases could drag out to two years. I'm in a lawsuit right now.
The lawyers are saying $10 million minimum.

**Graham Stephan** (1:28)
Are you stressed out right now with the lawsuits?

**Ben** (1:31)
No, it's fun. I love it.

**Jack Selby** (1:32)
Well, it's exactly the same.

**Ben** (1:34)
Their logic is if I'm in jail, I can't release my documentary and then they get away with their crimes.

**Jack Selby** (1:38)
It seems like they've done anything and everything to stop you.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:41)
We play different here.

**Ben** (1:42)
This is a classic example of corporate greed, working with a lot of money using the cops to sweep a crime under the rug.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:49)
These are sets he has not been paid for.

**Ben** (1:51)
They're not going to get away with this. I am no longer allowed to even mention this mystery company, or I will be in jail. They're trying to silence me right now, but I'm just going to come out and say all of their secrets that they don't want you to know.

**Jack Selby** (2:08)
Reckless Ben, thank you so much for coming on The Iced Coffee Hour.

**Ben** (2:11)
Oh yeah. Well, thanks for having us.

**Graham Stephan** (2:13)
This place is sick.

**Jack Selby** (2:14)
Thank you. You have created arguably the number one story of 2026 I never thought I would be so invested. I'm not going to lie, YouTube recommended me this video, maybe 20 times, but I saw $200,000 worth of Lego stolen and I honestly could not care less. And then Graham said, you need to watch this series. Oh yeah. It's insane. And I watched the first episode in 10 minutes. I was completely hooked.
It almost has nothing to do with Lego.

**Ben** (2:40)
Yeah.
I feel you on that. I would never ever click on a video, like an hour and a half long video on Legos either. I was kind of just banking off the fact that one or two people will see it, and they're just going to tell everyone about it. And they finally watch it, and they tell their friends. I was like, it's not a good hook, but it'll spread.

**Jack Selby** (2:59)
I need to correct you right there, because it's not actually Legos. It's actually just Lego.

**Ben** (3:03)
Yeah. A lot of people have been saying that. It's like deer is what they say. Or fish.

**Jack Selby** (3:07)
Yeah.

**Ben** (3:07)
You don't say deers. You just say deer. But it seems weird to be like, hey, can you please give me the Lego back? Because then I think like, oh, there's just, he stole one piece of Lego.

**Graham Stephan** (3:17)
I'd agree with you on that.

**Jack Selby** (3:17)
I don't know if a singular Lego piece can be worth $200,000.

**Graham Stephan** (3:23)
There's a gold brick that's worth a lot of money, and some of the mini figures are worth substantial.

**Jack Selby** (3:28)
Is it actually gold? It better be gold at $200,000.

**Graham Stephan** (3:31)
Yes. I believe they only made six in the world. Whoa.
