I just finished watching the video. After hearing what happened, I feel terrible that I jumped on the bandwagon of "He stole it" without questioning what happened. HOneslty think most of the Ranger community owes Samuell a massive apology for how we took everything at face value and how most of the Ranger fandom acted toward him. Dude was a massive fan of the show, got to work on the show in it's 15 year anniversary season, and we took media at face value and made it where he's been banned from any Morphicon or other Ranger-centered event. As a collective fandom, we owe him an apology and hopefully he'll be allowed back for the next Morphicon. I would genuinely not blame him if they invite him to the next Morphicon and he turns it down. I wouldn't blame him if he's bitter toward the entire fanbase for how he's been treated for the last 15 years.

It's crazy how long for truth to come out. Like other said hopefully he will be allowed to attend future ranger cons or wants to appear.

So he was accused of a crime he didn't commit! That sucks! I hope they allow him back! He's innocent!

After what I've read on other sites, I'm not just gonna jump to the idea that he's telling the truth. Going off of what we know, either he stole it, or he took it when he didn't need to and it got stolen because of that. Either way isn't a great look for him. And if all of this is true... none of the actors that were there have backed him up? Nobody stepped out in the last 13 years and said "Hey, that's not what happened" or anything? Also, it's been reported that he's been asked about this several times and just never responded, so at least the claim about him "Never being approached about it" is false.
I'm not saying he's a thief, and I'm definitely not saying I hate him or whatever, (I don't even know the guy like that) but I am saying that it looks like there's more stuff against him. If he is really telling the truth, then I do feel bad that he got all this hate for so long. But I just wanna see more in his favor before I jump on the "He's innocent!" side.

He mentioned the one discussion board where he's been getting a lot of hate! One full of assholes. He wouldn't have gotten hate over here since we're all pretty openminded and never assume.

Well, some fans still believe that Mr. Benta is an asshole. But, others still have no clue on what really happened at the first Power Morphicon convention back in 2007 because they here one source tell them something different and vice-versa. So, until I get start getting some real answers from other guests and staff members who were present at that time the incident happened, I am just gonna have to wait and see what happens next. In the meantime, I am just gonna have nothing but sympathy for Mr. Benta. Even though, these past 13 years of silence must have really tore this guy apart.

Oh yeah, that forum. These are the same people who hate JDF, Riccardo Medina Jr. and Tracy Lynn Cruz based on ridiculous rumors! I'm glad we can give Samuel Benta and other actors the benefit of the doubt without assuming they're terrible evil irredeemable people like the media wants us to think.

Wait, people hated Tracy Lynn Cruz from something she didn't do?! Seriously, when did that happened and what was that rumor about? I didn't hear anything about it.

I... really don't think Ricardo Medina's thing was a rumor.

^ It's true that he was convicted of manslaughter, but some people still think he's a murderer since the media emphasized the fact that he killed someone rather than the important detail that it wasn't deliberate. Just another reason why people need to check their facts before making accusations. Wait, people hated Tracy Lynn Cruz from something she didn't do?! Seriously, when did that happened and what was that rumor about? I didn't hear anything about it. I don't recall the full story but pretty much what Purple Creator said below, an incident involving Johnny Yong Bosch where he mentioned her in an interview. It's all over the other forum, if you dare to look, but I wouldn't take the conjecture at face value.

I mention RangerCrew on YouTube and how we're openminded. This is what I said: And the only bad thing I heard about Tracy was that she used Johnny Yong Bosch to get on the show. That's it! JDF's a cool dude! Met him twice!

He could have said this when it happened over a decade ago.
Dude’s full of it.

Did you not listen to what he said? He couldn't because people wouldn't have listened considering all of the hate he was receiving!

That doesn’t make any sense. “I’m receiving a lot of hate for something I didn’t do. Instead of defending myself I guess I should...do nothing, and just take it.” The logic doesn’t follow.
