Guys like this tend to have big pedophile energy, honestly. Same with people like Trump. I'm never shocked when they say stuff like that. If anything, I'm shocked if they say the opposite.
I'd love this to be true because it would be funny af, but no, the police probably knew where he was for months before hand. The arrest just came at the perfect time.
On the other hand, his constant boasting about being a romeo pimp for his previous porn site definitely led to some part of the investigation.
Trump, Johnson and Tate all going down at the same time.
I know they're in 3 different countries, but could you imagine them all in the same cell? Put some hidden cameras in and you could have the biggest reality show ever.
I'm possibly being a party pooper, but I'd also like to see all three disappear into their respective prisons and never hear from any of them ever again.
Trial may take several years. Gonna be a interesting run. Plenty of time for Tate to rile up his followers, continue to run his mouth, and make some money off his "educational" avenues.
After hearing the Behind the Bastards episode on this guy, he just seems like a self-aggrandizing blowhard. Why is this brand of narcissism so appealing to certain segments of society?
Confidence and self-esteem (as misplaced as they may be) are attractive to those who lack those qualities. Anyone with a shred of their own self-esteem or confidence can see right through him. Unfortunately, there are plenty of vulnerable, disenfranchised, or mentally ill people out there ready to be taken advantage of. Hopefully his days in the spotlight are numbered.
Don't forget he claimed in another video that he was moving to Romania because the laws in the country were weaker and it was easy to bribe the police.
nothing inherently illegal about that. his real crimes are using coercion and manipulation (ie fraud) in order to take a bigger cut from the girls. he told the girls that it was 50/50 split when in reality it was like 90/10. even going so far to preparing fake tax documents to justify taking more money from them
he would speak with girls online, convince them that he wanted to be their boyfriend - they would move in and he would then get them on the cam sites. this is enough to justify human trafficking charges. he brought people to his cam house through lies and manipulation and then kept them there through lies and manipulation.
the beautiful thing is he essentially openly admitted to a lot of this in his hustler's university lectures.
This is barely related, but the other day I was at a local park and a big group of kids were singing some counting game. It was a "one, two, buckle my shoe" thing. I was surprised when they screamed, "seven, eight, Andrew Tate". I'm sure they have no idea who Andrew Tate is, but it was crazy to me that he had made his way into culture that way.
I was getting so tired of the “he hasn’t even been charged with anything, he obviously didn’t do anything wrong” incel chant. I mean, wether he was charged or not, he definitely bragged openly for years about sex trafficking, tax evasion, etc. anyone who made excuses for this guy is a lowlife scumbag. And it was a lot of people.
