If there are any UK/US prosecutors looking for a case to make their name; Tate’s ‘Hustler’s University’ which charged people $49 per month and promised huge returns if they recruit more users looks and smells like a Ponzi Scheme.

Did Andrew Tate’s video clapback to Greta Thunberg…actually help pinpoint his location and lead to his arrest?

AFAICT Mr. Tate comes from the world of “combat sports” and was trying to set himself up as the next Joe Rogan :grimacing:

Who knows how many awful little man-things are still in that bucket trying to crawl out?

Thank you so much for that summary. I didn’t understand this story or what had really happened until your post.

It seems like his getting caught for his crimes was coincidental with his harassment of Ms. Thunberg, but the internet’s response to the situation is genuinely heartening.

TBH, I was looking for the scene in World’s End where the ship blows up on Beckett, but I couldn’t find it easily, so I compromised.

That sounds like DIICOT saving face, if the reports are to be believed.

That was a semi-final. The final will now be between a pizza box and a head of lettuce.

It seems to be a trend for these toxic-masculinity-dudebros to make sure they are frequently photographed holding big cigars, because there’s nothing that screams “Alpha Male” like publicly fellating a nice long roll of tobacco.

Even better, they sell them to recompense his and his brother’s victims.

Then DIICOT added, “to all suspected criminals, please continue to use geospatial identifying features in your videos since we totally aren’t looking at things like that. Thanks!”
