Background
Reckless Ben, a YouTuber, has been covering a dispute involving Bricks & Minifigs, the Mansell family, and former franchise operators connected to the company’s Salem, Oregon store.
The dispute escalated into a lawsuit filed by BAM Franchising Inc. and other plaintiffs against Benjamin Schneider, Reckless Ben LLC, Bryan Mansell, and Victor Nguyen.
The lawsuit led to a temporary restraining order, which Reckless Ben claimed prevented him from posting Part 3 of his Bricks & Minifigs investigation.
The case was moved from Utah state court to federal court, where both sides sought a modified version of the order.
