The YouTuber identifying as the Butt Crack News Network (BCNN) was trespassed from the corporate offices of the Principal Financial Group in Des Moines, Iowa, on Friday after a brief altercation with security.
BCNN entered the corporate headquarters Friday afternoon to retrieve the balance on his account after canceling services with the company. He encountered security personnel who told him that they could not help him as the corporate offices had nothing to do with customer service and they could not cut him a check.
After multiple security guards tried to explain that they could not help him, BCNN put out a call to any auditor in the area to come mass audit the building. He was then repeatedly asked to leave the building by security and the police were summoned.
Once police arrived, BCNN tried to his ejection from the property by claiming that he followed the guidelines on the website to cancel his account and he had a recorded conversation with a company representative who told him his refund would be processed earlier in the week. He had only come to the building after exhausting all lines of communication with the company.
The responding police officers told him that they could not help him further and that he would have to follow the company’s official process to get his refund and that he still needed to leave the building. He again called out to his fellow Iowa auditors to come have his back at the building.
As he exited the building, BCNN was greeted by two auditors who had come to support him in his audit of the building. The two auditors kept their distance from the police officers on scene who directed BCNN to stay to the sidewalk and off the property itself or face arrest.
BCNN ended his stream by threatening to report both officers for their conduct during his trespass, including one officer for “violating your policy” by not providing BCNN with his first name. It is unclear if BCNN followed through with his treat as of press time.
