Andrew Tate arrested for human trafficking in Romania

And all because he lost his temper after being humiliated by Greta.

If he gets extradited to America, he's going to be in a lot more trouble.

Love the Greta Tate remix! Only problem is now it is stuck going round and round in my brain, and I'm worried I may inadvertently start singing it when I go to the shops later. 😬

He's been in plain sight for a while. I believe this was taken down in feb (according to bbc, images taken from Jess Taylor.)

Happy news!

I think that the sort of men who hate her are motivated by business interests and see her as a threat to them and their ilk, because of her climate activism.

It baffles me that anyone likes him, but then that's indicative of the rampant misogyny we battle. All it takes is for someone like him to surface, and it's disgusting how quickly people reveal themselves as pieces of shit.

Well said. None of it has ever gone away, no matter how our much rights may have improved. (Nowadays though, it presents itself in some extremely cunning ways, often disguised as our own work) Loathsome man.

@WarriorN my god he’s horrific. I hope that information makes it to the Police.

Stuff like that is easily archived, whenever I find something like that, I always use archive.vn/ to capture it.

That's apparently from feb; bbc report said it was taken down last February .

I expect they've been following him for a while to gain hard evidence

He actually sounds like he ran a pyramid scheme via social media. Alongside abusing women.

An Observer investigation earlier this monthh* revealed how followers were explicitly encouraged to create “arguments” and “war” by posting deliberately controversial clips that would attract high engagement and views, thus generating more Hustler’s University signups. On TikTok, where videos of him were widely pushed to young users by the algorithm, content tagged with Tate’s name has been watched more than 12bn times

The observer article is good for a number of historical details that I wasn't aware of.

There's all kinds of stuff popping up. He's not going to go out quietly, however.

The combination of the pyramid scheme, subscription service & sex trafficking made him wealthy. There'll be more details coming out as the investigation continues. He had to have help to run his little empire & I don't think he's clever enough to do it alone. I think there's a criminal gang behind him and he's the 'pretty' front man. It'll be interesting to see if he reveals details to minimise his prison sentence or keeps quiet to save his life.

His PR people
are still pushing out tweets about the ‘Matrix’ and how they’ve got him… there’s also a lot of chat about how he ‘predicted’ his arrest like he’s flippin Nostradamus or something.
Easy enough to predict your potential arrest when you’re thigh deep in crime…

Funny that isn't it?

WarriorN · 02/01/2023 09:04

They're all idiots aren't they. Thy think they're beating a matrix when he's the one who created a matrix bubble for them to dance against, while he sits back and rakes it in.

The fact he was a tv producer is interesting too.

Show quote history

It is really funny.🤣🤣🤣

But also a bit tragic and embarrassing.😳

kateandme · 03/01/2023 03:20

This isn't just one man though is it.this is one man who's somehow been idiotic enough to try put himself out there as a sensation. But, the people agreeing with him,even the " well some things he says makes sense".the boys following him.the subtle vocabulary and talks about him which are clearly agreeing with him or as misogynistic as him.its all pretty f* scary.and infuriating that this is where we are.because it's not a one off.its not a small group.its actually pretty widespread thinking whether it's this on a lower level,or to his level non of it should still be allowed.
It shouldn't be ok to be slightly sexist,or not "dangerous". Yes it is. He got to where he is somehow.

MissMarplesbag · 03/01/2023 06:46

My bil has fallen down the Andrew Tate rabbit hole big time. At first, he came across as a mild covid nutter if that's e en possible spouting shite about the new world order. Now he's posting videos of AT online & minimises the latest controversies by saying not everybody is perfect.

Oh this is interesting. The authorities must have evidence that they’re a flight risk. Plus, a significant danger to society to refuse bail & as well as an appeal.

Uplifting news. Detained for another 30 days. Their existence is poisoning young men.
