from BAD to WORSE!

This is the body cam footage of the Utah police talking to the former franchisee about the Bricks and Minifigs (BAM) Reckless Ben situation.

The man puts the CEO of BAM, Ammon McNeff, on the phone. McNeff says a number of interesting things:

1) He ADMITS that the family is owed the money, but denies that he or the new franchisee owe it.

I reserve the right to be mistaken, but my understanding of franchise law is that although the franchisor is typically NOT liable for the debts of the franchisee, there are circumstances under which they can be - e.g. if they exercise sufficient control over the franchisee, such that the franchisee can be considered an “agent” under the law.

Given the degree of involvement the CEO is displaying with the new franchisee (the guy holding the phone), that argument might be made.

2) He ADMITS the money is owed, but claims that Ben (Reckless Ben) has no interest in it.

This too is not necessarily true if the owner of the Legos assigned his claim to Ben. ...
