Self-proclaimed misogynist ‘brazen’ about refusing to pay tax on revenue from online businesses, court told
Andrew Tate and his brother, Tristan, have been accused of failing to pay tax on £21m of revenue from their online businesses.
Devon and Cornwall police are bringing a civil claim against the brothers and a third person referred to as J over unpaid tax, Westminster magistrates’ court heard on Monday. The force is seeking about £2.8m in seven frozen bank accounts.
Sarah Clarke KC for Devon and Cornwall police said: “Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate are serial tax and VAT evaders. They, in particular Andrew Tate, are brazen about it.”
It is claimed that they paid no tax in any country on £21m revenue from businesses online earned between 2014 and 2022. Clarke quoted from a video posted online by Andrew Tate, in which the self-proclaimed misogynist said: “When I lived in England I refused to pay tax.”
The court heard he said his approach was “ignore, ignore, ignore because in the end they go away”. The court also heard that the brothers had a “huge number of bank accounts” in the UK, seven of which have been frozen.
There's video footage of Andrew Tate from his Hustler's University online courses where he instructs his pupils to use cryptocurrency to avoid taxes, and also describes his methods for duping his webcam models with fake complicated tax terminology so he can essentially steal their wages.

There’s an unlimited supply of great role models on the internet. It just takes a few minutes of effort to find them, because algorithmic feeds that are optimized for outrage/engagement to serve more ads are slightly easier to consume.
There aren't enough role models teaching them that you can be a man without being toxic to women.
Is this really the problem, or is the problem that the sort of people with role models like Tate are the sort of people who wouldn't gravitate towards non-toxic role models in the first place?
Because if it's actually true that there are very few good male role models to choose from, I'm not entirely sure what that tells us about men, exactly.
He had a lifestyle where he was constantly sleeping with different women, saying whatever garbage he wanted, very wealthy, and made his money running cons instead of real work.
I get it, I don't approve, but I get why some angry 17 year old would want that. By the time you hit 17 or so you already know the game is rigged, the trick is to get to 30 where you are too apathetic to care.
I mean, he comes across as an incredibly pathetic sad loser that has managed to gather some money and fame. His fans probably relate to the former and hope watching his videos and taking after him will lead to the latter. 🤷♂️
He's not a good person but some of the things he says are things that almost every young man resonates with. Feeling worthless, being lonely, wanting something to strive for, having no purpose, the feeling that life is unfair to you but you can't complain, or social stuff is hard.
It's not the solutions he proposed that made him popular, but the problems he raised.
Now let's be clear here, he's a slimy criminal with a ton of different schemes running concurrently, but at face value we still haven't found the time to address the problems he raised. The void he leaves is exploitable unless we get someone righteous who takes his place to inspire young men. And no, I don't think there's role models right now that can take his place, at least not with that reach or that charisma.
Listen to the others and preserve your innocence. He's like a Pandora box that, once opened, will constantly remind you of its presence. Telling social media sites "stop showing me this type of content" does nothing except make him stop showing up in your feeds for a short time. But he comes back.
A weakling who I want to kill woth a Daneaxe, a prime example of a debauched profligate with neither morals nor forethought who was able to amass wealth and influence by staying under the radar to a degree. But once he was able to gain the fame that his kind crave due to their misinterpretation of fame equaling power he got himself into international legal troubles.

The Tates are accused of failing to pay tax and money laundering in both the UK and Romania, the court heard.
Paul Goldspring, the chief magistrate, will decide on the balance of probabilities whether what the police claim is true.

I’m not a fan of Tate and don’t like him at all but I have never once seen actual evidence of the claims. Which I find odd.
If he truly did all these horrifying things, he should be sent to prison for good. However, I haven’t seen a single evidence of any claims. Perhaps it’s me not looking the right way.
