Considering changing my handle to "Someone named Jeff"

Wait, it's all coming together...

I am disappointed this fellow was apparently a Marine officer.

Jim Harbaugh, Michigan Receive Official Notice From The Big Ten (msn.com)

Seems like paperwork to me.

Some of us think its just a PR stunt by the Big Ten.  You know, to mollify the cry babies.

It's the detail about "dozens of old vacuum cleaners appeared on his front porch" that I can't get over. Connor Stalions "...allegedly operating an appliance refurbishing business out of his home..."

If I learned a few points from the Breaking Bad Universe, one is that a business as unlikely and outdated as dedicated Vacuum Sales and Services serves as a legitimate business front to cover for something else going on.

That sucks.

[MaximumSam]

It would hilarious if all this started because Jeff from Ann Arbor hired an investigative firm to follow Stalions around to see what he does with all those vacuums.

"Stalions admitted to starting a limited liability company to sell restored items / sold many on Amazon with underwhelming results.

Several buyers complained of defective units with missing parts-that earned him a seller rating of 2.8 out of 5 stars."

Someone named Jeff is probably the mastermind behind all of this.

Found Stalion's Amazon seller's page for "hed_." Short for Home Essentials Distribution LLC.

51 reviews, 20 of them 1 star. Filter to Lifetime feedback to read all 51. They are single-sentence reads and mostly entertaining.

Scrolling down, Stalions' home address is listed.

So I checked Google Street View. Yes there is a porch but it's clean. With an image capture of May 2023, that would be well after complaints of accumulating appliances were presumably addressed. 

Interestingly, in the large, street-facing front window, there are displayed TWO different warning signs - one Red & Black, one Yellow & Black - similar to below:
