Reckless Ben – Going Undercover Inside America’s Most Dangerous Cults | SRS #354

Ben Schneider, better known as Reckless Ben, is an independent documentary creator and YouTuber known for combining undercover investigations, hidden-camera footage, and confrontational humor. His work has taken him inside Scientology, Twelve Tribes, McKamey Manor, and Provo Canyon School to examine allegations of abuse, manipulation, and exploitation. His hands-on approach often makes him part of the story, including posing as a teenage student during his Provo Canyon investigation. More recently, he brought national attention to a dispute between Bricks & Minifigs and a family over a $200,000 LEGO Star Wars collection that was allegedly never returned after being consigned to a franchise store. The series generated more than 500 million views across platforms in two months and ultimately led to a settlement with the family.
