DEAD BEN: LETTERS TO THE LIVING (THE ENEMY WITHIN)
What if I told you someone in your circle wants you out of line?
For religious folks, let's just call this the Judas effect. Yeah, I mean that guy who betrayed the Christian messiah. Bro was so good at selling that he sold the Saviour. I can't think of anyone better at sales than Judas. That's a joke. Let's be realistic. Is it safe to assume that all your guys share the same vision with you, and do you actually think they all want you to succeed?
Even if they want you big, do they want you bigger than them?
One would easily say everyone loved Ben, but what if it was one of his friends who killed him? If that thought hasn't crossed your mind yet, maybe it should now.
Could someone be so envious of another and end their lives?
Could Ben's suicide note be a mirage? Is there something bigger at play here? Can we spot duress in writing?
We all knew how ugly Ben's writing was, and we are certain it was his handwriting; the tone of the letters confirms it was him. Ben had occasionally mentioned that he felt someone was stalking him, but no one believed him because he ended that line of thought with the notion that he was a great guy and deserved to be stalked. His exact words were, Who wouldn't love to stalk me? Perhaps it was more than a joke, or am I just overthinking it?
A year and five letters later, we are all receiving this letter. Hmmmmm, how come the cops also received this letter?
Wait, he didn't copy Gregg in the letter. Could that be a sign?
If we are to think realistically, Gregg seemed not to like Ben. He wasn't at any of his parties, and Gregg is laudably the weirdest of them all. He's got this strange vibe, like he's hiding something. Come on, you wouldn't be saying this if we hadn't received this letter. What exactly is Ben trying to tell us?
Agreed, Gregg is strange, but he's no killer. I think we should all watch our backs in the meantime and keep in touch. Ben may be dead, but he's a killer, if any are out there.
I hope this is all a dream, because I cannot welcome the thought that someone in this room is capable of such evil. I just can't. Let's hope we receive another letter explicitly telling us what's really going on. I can't handle this suspense.
I hope the cops can solve this mystery soon.
At the end of the month, we give out prizes in 3 categories: Best Content, Top Engagers and
Most Engaged Content.

Best Content
We give out cash prizes to between 7 and 20 community members with the best insights in the past month.
The winners are picked by an in-house selection process.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know for the Best Content track
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
