The Mormon Mafia Is Stealing People's Legos
At 7:10 · chapter starts 3:13
Lemaire describes a sprawling YouTube investigation into Bricks and Minifigs, a Lego resale franchise in Utah, which allegedly held onto a father-and-son collection worth $200,000 and refused to return it even after the dad recovered from illness. [1] — Lemaire Lee "Mormon Mafia controls Lego reselling: Lemaire alleges that a Mormon network — involving Bricks and Minifigs owners, local cops, and the bro…" 05:50 The YouTuber covering the story tried every legal avenue — creating an infringing company to provoke a LEGO lawsuit, running a legal lottery, starting a GoFundMe — and got arrested each time while the cops sided with the reseller. The wild twist: everyone involved is Mormon, from the store owners to the police, leading Lemaire to coin the term 'Mormon Mafia.' Shane and Charles are both baffled and delighted, with Charles noting it makes perfect sense given the setting — 'They're all Mormon, they're in Utah.' Lemaire believes the reseller is paying police kickbacks to block victims from recovering their property, and says he's currently on Part 2 of the documentary series, waiting for Part 3. When Charles asks if Lemaire would go to Utah to investigate, Lemaire flatly refuses: 'They would have shot me.'
