Spilling the beans would be giving the goons/DS what they want -- the very same toxic dinks who were responsible for his downfall.
Would he still be so loyal when he's out of the picture?

I just don't know if he'd want to. He doesn't seem like the sort who would talk, not against Chris and Sandi who have treated him very well. I'm only guessing but he doesn't strike me as the sort who would go rogue-- and honestly, it's possible Chris and Sandi would 'take care of him' in such a way as to reward his silence.
That's a good point. The only problem is if everything falls apart and the money stops flowing. Or like DSizzle just said: questions regarding where the money went start getting asked in small rooms under very bright lights. If those journal posts are only the tip of the iceberg, then that makes Ben a very weak link if the police get involved.

Yeah I guess Beer is right. The website will vanish, it will be spun as goons doing this to ruin the dream and Ben will keep his job. I also doubt he will learn anything and rather post/make some arrogant bullshit comment to the effect of "you lost this one goons".

I actually doubt any media will pick this up. The fear of being torpedoed by the cult is too great.

I'm gonna give Ben a pass on this news anchor business since loads of people did stupid weird poo poo when they were in highschool.

It's still pretty funny though. He must have like ~1200 pictures of her.

It should be possible to figure out in what year those pictures were taken and prove how old he was at the time.

We can get his date of birth from his website; 19th April 1981

And as for the news stills, they were taken between 2002 and 2003 according to the file names. So that would make him 22 when he was doing it.

Old enough to know better.

As I've said before, I'm very conflicted about Jared because, you know - gently caress it - I like the guy. He reminds me of me with that IDGAF vibe he's got going.

Regardless, I know that deep down, he's the kinda guy who, when push comes to shove, will do the right thing.

Also, him and Ben weren't "friends" and saying they were "colleagues" would be a stretch of sorts.

@lando, I know you're reading this, and I know your SA handle. I also know that you know you're about to get (if not already - remember the conversation from two days ago?) fired.

Now, you should probably make good on that threat to quit, and just do it. This ship has sailed. You know this.

You've had a ton of jobs before; and you can find work again. Good idea not unpacking though.
