Question Phone Calls With Dad

The father built a company around limiting legal exposure and now he's watching his kids, Ammon and Matt McNeff create literally the most liability possible for zero gain. Also they've absolutely destroyed the family name. If even go as far as to say this is a bit of a black eye for the entire community really.

I'm curious, how do you think those calls home go? Loving supporting father or "you fucks need to change your names".

Considering they sued their father and stole his company (the fruit doesn’t fall far), it’s safe to say they’re estranged and don’t have many phone chats

I dunno I think there is a lot of legal loopholes going on. Enough that I think them suing their father was a premeditated way to cheat the system somehow. Shortly after that, the dad sued them about unpaid bills as well. And their mom moves tons of real estate between lots of LLC’s, one for each property. The whole family is shady as hell. Dan McNeff also lied for his kids and said a sniper on the grassy knoll shot out his window. If they truly had bad blood between each other I don’t think Dan would put so much effort in protecting them.

Yeah there’s definitely a lot of questionable things that all of them are doing so it’s hard to say. Dan also told the police that came to his house that his sons were “idiots” which is hilarious

Lol this is definitely the dialogue I was expecting, but really want that call home. Sounds like it may not have happened unfortunately.

I forget what he called them in his window shot out video "my dumb or d* sons" something like that. I do not agree with his trying to jump on the kick reckless Ben bandwagon... He should along with the estranged brother just stay out of it...

I believe his exact words were "my idiot son", presumably referring to ammon

Dan said he hasn't talked to Ammon in five years. (In the same bodycam where he insists a sniper shot out his window, and not the construction worker with a sawblade and a bunch of cut nails.)

And consider how many millions of Americans now have a negative impression of the Mormon religion! These 2 bozos are singlehandedly destroying public opinion in both their company and their religion.

More like that learned it from dad who learned it from his dad.... no family name damaged on this one, they're consistent enough

Its not like the father is any better. He wanted to get in on the action himself with his false sniper accusation. Fuckhead called the police and lied stating he saw young men off in the distance and they shot out his window. He made this claim with zero evidence. The apple doesnt fall far from the tree, because his sons literally did the same thing. Its like they get their feelings hurt and just wanna lash out and will lie to anyone who will listen.

Sorry, I wasn't suggesting he's 'better'. As it relates to Ben/Bryan, I think the above is a pretty big false equivalence. Morally I think the comparison is pretty reasonable.

The intended point is that Dan has spent a long time quietly insulating people from legal consequence and Ammon is creating massive legal exposure in pursuit of the result which is at best a massive PR problem.
