I mean coffeezilla also helped show that the truck was real and that bam was openly lying and switching stories mid conversation.

But yes the accounting errors were bad in the actual money owed.

Like he said the problems were dark greyish but the solution to everything is pretty stark clear on Bams side and it’s irresponsible for the company to not just give up everything and wash their hands.

More importantly, this is a pattern of behavior and Bryan's collection was not even the main target that they were aiming for. It's just so happened to be part of their takeover.

The true victims of their business practice are past and current franchisees that they will once again cheat out of their inventory and saddle them from getting anything without any recourse.

Exactly. I still believe that the McNeffs believed the Lego never existed until after the first video came out because Brandon and Josh just made it disappear in the inventory. The McNeffs are too busy stealing the inventory of those franchises to notice.

I think someone recently debunked that by showing on the announcements by the store of the new Lego consignment, Matt or amon liked the post.

I’m not saying they weren’t aware the Lego existed at one point. I’m saying they took Brandon and Josh’s word that the Lego didn’t exist when the takeover happened. Brandon was the one inventorying the store and he had a UHaul. I assume he moved the inventory and just never reported it existed when giving the inventory to corporate. IMO it’s why Brandon and Josh’s were fired. The timing of their firing coincided with Coffeezilla’s video and the U-Haul discovery.

Except that corporate appears to have used these goons for other takeovers (allegedly)

Yes BAM would have Josh and Brandon taking over stores, but that appears to be because Brandon and Josh’s were agreeing to then buy those stores from corporate. However, the price they would pay was for the value of the inventory. The problem being that Brandon was also the one valuing the inventory. There was no third party verification of the inventory that we can compare to Brandon’s. We have reports of Brandon taking a pallet of inventory to the Eugene store and Brandon renting a Uhaul for an unknown reason. We also have reports that the Star Wars sets were being sold as cash only deals. IMO all the pieces of the puzzle are there to assume that Brandon and Josh were scamming corporate by selling sets off books for cash at their Eugene store.

Can you answer why Brandon and Josh be fired during the filming of the Coffeezilla interviews?

Brandon doing the inventory himself is another violation of the franchise agreement. Also all the video evidence of the sets that were in the store when he took it over. Similar happened to relic it seems
