In 2014 Jack moved from California to Tennessee with the help of United Van Lines. On 05 July, 2014 Jack broadcast a live stream in which he complains about United Van Lines. During the move, some of Jacks belongings were damaged; the blame for which Jack places entirely on the moving company. He attempted to get them to pay almost $17,000 USD to replace his furniture even after an appraiser determined the damage to be worth only about $7,000 USD.
The Move
On 16 June 2014 United Van Lines movers arrived at Jacks house and moved all of his stuff onto the moving van. To Jacks dismay he noticed that other peoples furniture was also riding along with his. Jack believed that he should be given his own moving van and rebukes United Van Lines for not giving him special treatment. Due to the high volume of furniture and other items Jack attempted to move, three moving vans were required to transport all of Jack's belongings to Tennessee, and also required the movers to return for a second loading day. Jack complained about having to wait on the second day in 80-90°F (26-32°C) heat.

*An entry of "--" indicates that Jack did not reveal this amount
When storing a refrigerator unit long-term while it is not in use, it is important to ensure no moisture remains inside the unit. Otherwise mold or other forms of bacterial cultures will form within the dark, damp enclosure. Jack was completely unaware of this and ended up with a fridge full of mold.
The Result
Jack filed a damages claim with United Van Lines wherein he attempts to get United Van Lines to replace, among other things, a Disney snow globe for $127 USD, a pasta bowl for $374 USD and a photograph of Al Pacino for $150 USD. Jack was unable to itemize many of the items that he claimed to be missing and a third party appraiser determined the vast majority of the damage to be unrelated to the move. The damage was determined to be worth only about $7,000 USD. Jack attempted to bring this to the attention of Lawyers, but has never since mentioned the results of this endeavor. It is assumed that he was unable to make any progress, and has since conceded on the matter.
