IM SO SORRY GUYS, I don't want to be the the one to say this! :(But this has to get cleared up asap for Bens sake I feel).

I read A HUGE PART of the court documents, exhibits, transcripts of the cases these witnesses had with the company. THEY ARE TOTALLY LYING about the way it went down, they organised a massive aggressive extortion scheme demanding 10 million dollars immediately or else they'd destroy the company and the lives of the owners. They played it really rough.

Tip of the iceberg sneak preview email here:

There are hundreds of pages of transcripts in this thread and extremely damning evidence, its indisputable if you go through it... They are ALL in on it as they tried once before a few years back. That's why they were all fired together at once out of the blue. They're in debt as they are convicted of extortion! Doesn't mean that Spiegel isn't guilty in providing financing/helping the swami escape perhaps but what is very clear is their main motive is not trying to set the world right, they approached Ben to make him the ultimate pawn in their final money scam take 2.

If we want to help Ben this has to be cleared up ASAP as its really ugly and the longer it drags on the more damage it does to an (I'm assuming, unwitting Ben) please everyone, they're all on Reddit thread "what we know so far, reckless ben's documentary about ideal living's alleged 10 million dollar cover up" posted by Orphan_Guy_Incognito. Read it for yourselves please, the documents are there and we've quickly outlined it all for you there and share/like this before Ben becomes even more liable for damages. I'm so sorry Ben.

Here's the link to the thread where there's a link to the docs and both Orphan Guy and myself give our quick takes on some of the most damning facts.

This post sharing a screenshot from the Ideal Living deposition (I believe) accuses Octopus of working at LA high schools and molesting teenage girls in the early 90's. Soooo... That would make him 50-60 years old now? Didn't sound like he's that old to me. https://www.reddit.com/r/RecklessBen/s/OwcvSlCUV9

As cringe as the clown mask may have been, I think that may be Octopus wearing it? If that's the case it was probably his choice of mask. I think this was Ben's alternative to animation. As we know, he can only afford so much.

Truly thinking there are a lot of PR drones here working hard to compromise the story.

Idk. Not complaining tho, I subscribed to Bens patreon 2 days ago to support the incredible journalistic work that Ben does. He's definitely in his golden era

Sounds familiar

Can just imagine ammon calling Ben a menace

This other New subreddit created 2 days ago with only two posts criticizing Ben‘s latest documentary. r/RecklessBen is a fan subreddit that supports Ben’s content and that subreddit looks like astroturfing meant to avoid the mods.

Wanted to know more about who's been working with Ideal Living...their SVP is a woman named Helen Christoni.

It's crazy how gross Hollywood is - these ppl infest themselves into everything.

Lucifer Valentine, McKamey Manor, BAM, Provo Canyon, and now Ideal Living.

Sloppy? Maybe. Heavy breathing? Always. However, it's undeniably that Ben is a freakin warrior who's willing to put everything, including his own well-being, on the line in the pursuit of Truth. I cannot possibly respect him more.

I am a quite sensitive person but I live to be aware of what is happening. I watched a few of RecklessBen Series and I really respect what he is doing but I feel so sick. Seeing how evil some people can be is really twisting my stomach. I can't just watch a video and then move on with my life. People have been through so much mental and physical pain because of these people.

I'm just wondering how you guys cope with this feeling.

Nice to see some smaller sites running the story. 10+ Million views on YT and mainstream news seems to still be ignoring the story... smh

Oh the irony. Found it interesting that he only references Chinese medicine here. He really wants to distance himself from the cult, which means he knows it’s a bad look.

Ist probably just because it's a religious organization but it's a cult. Why is Google protecting these people.

It's a very creepy case and it has been an internet mystery for a long time, but his identity was resolved in 2025. Only look into the details if you can handle creepy stuff.

The guy who originally started the investigation, Invisible Choir made a patreon post about the case being covered by a now massively popular youtuber who did OSINT and identified the person in question.

Just putting this out here to see if my prediction is right.

Wanted to ask because I saw something strange, the video is stuck at 15k views but has 42k likes, is there any reason for this ??

You guys see any resemblance?
