CONFIRMED
Ben Schneider — the YouTuber the franchisor met with a racketeering suit, a gag order and an arrest — is represented by counsel and backed by a public legal defense fund on GiveSendGo (“Legal Defense Fund For Reckless Ben”), which had raised $41,675 from 914 donors as of a mid-June tally.
Stated plainly: he is presumed innocent, and the criminal case against him has not been adjudicated. The point is only that he is not facing the franchisor’s lawyers without representation.
The suit, the gag order and the raid: The takedown.
