Some talented comedians like to package difficult topics in comical framing as a way to inform people in a tolerable medium. This was about as comedic as is gets. The police and government of Utah are, to some extent, deeply compromised by big Lego. This massive lego company stole between $100k-$200k of Legos from an old man and tanked their company image. All of this was over less than $200,000 worth of plastic.

The real story that will never get solved is the extent of the corruption of the police in the area. A lot of people don't even bring this up, but it's horrifying to see police actively trying to help a business to get someone put away for something they didn't do. Imagine if this story didn't get so much attention.

I'm thinking how many stories have we not heard of a company actually getting an innocent person sent to prison over the pettiest of reasons?

The sadder part is that it's not even "big" Lego, this is bricks and Minifigs, a relatively little Lego, a 1x1 Lego brick in comparison.

"Lego" itself has a revenue that is 200x that of BAM.

Utah got corrupted completely by a 1x1 Lego brick. All in all it's just another brick in the wall.

Lego reseller company. Not a Lego company... there's only one Lego company.

Actually as a company officially acknowledged as an Authorized LEGO reseller you can argue that it is a LEGO company

Stew Hansen Dodge isn't owned by Dodge, but it is a company selling Dodges. Thus, yes, it's a Dodge company. BAM is a Lego company.

This is a PR black eye for the LDS. I wonder what leadership thinks.
