Controversial media influencer Andrew Tate arrested in Romania.

[GinBoy2]

So, I did my homework and found out who this guy, who I'd never heard of is.

 

Quite the catch isn't he for some psychotic woman.

 

I did rather like Thunberg's reply email; [email protected]

 

Sure he's been quite the roid boy during his career so she's probably not wrong!

[Jingthing]

So was he released or not?

If they are holding him for 30 days to investigate, that doesn't sound too promising for him.

Not that I care about him at all but it is an interesting media story.

As near as I can tell, he has not been released.  I've removed posts suggesting he has.  I guess we will just have to stay tuned!

Fact Check-August 2022 Tucker Carlson interview with Andrew Tate re-shared as if recent

An interview in which ex-kickboxer Andrew Tate says he “was not arrested” but “swatted” in Romania dates back to August 2022. Following the detention of Tate and his brother in Romania on Dec. 29, social media users shared an extract of the months-old exchange with Fox News host Tucker Carlson to falsely claim the brothers had been released.

Is it "abusive rude and disrespectful" when he describes Megan Markle the way many people see her?

And I wrote clearly that I don't know why he was arrested. The fact that he was arrested is no evidence that he committed any crime.

The fact that many people hold vile views does not preclude the expression of those views from being disrespectful.

Whether they charge him or not, my impression of Romania has been upgraded.

Do they have a retirement visa?

Andrew Tate arrest: TikTok and Twitter under fire over false posts from fans

Social media firms are under fire this weekend for allowing the spread of misinformation by followers of “king of toxic masculinity” Andrew Tate after his arrest in connection with a human trafficking investigation.

In the hours after his detention, TikTok and Twitter were flooded with posts falsely claiming he had been freed and conspiracy theories saying he had been set up, Observer analysis shows, Imran Ahmed, chief executive of the Center for Countering Digital Hate, said: “Having conspiracy theories proliferating which might put at risk the integrity of an investigation or the safety of those involved is unconscionable.”

Tate is a very rich ,arrogant,  loudmouthed  man BUT he says some things that need to be said....A lot of people dont like him for this. 

 

I will wait to see the evidence before making any judgement. Many wanted to shut this man up, they failed....I think they may be on to plan B.

And those "many" who "wanted to shut this man up", why would they? What sort of threat did Tiktok influencer pose to people so well connected that they could direct the government of Romania to arrest him?

I havent seen he said anything yet that have been groundbreaking in terms of importance that havent been said yet by Jordan B Petersen in a proper manner and without provoking anyone except journalists who trying to get a score or two, or those who is truly far left fetched.

Well, a conspiracy mindset justifies those possessed of (by?) one into crediting that since what they believe and allege is threatening, then it must be true.

"denied wrongdoing through an attorney". Code for paid off a judge.

 

A Romanian court is due to rule on Tuesday on a challenge filed by Andrew Tate, an internet personality notorious for hate speech, against his 30-day arrest for alleged human trafficking and formation of an organised crime group to exploit six women.

Tate, his brother Tristan and two Romanian female suspects were detained by Romanian anti-organised crime prosecutors on Dec. 29 pending a criminal investigation. They have denied wrongdoing through an attorney and have challenged the arrest warrant.

no he doesn't - fancy thinking a man who deliberately tricked men into giving thousands of dollars to models online and then bragged about ripping them off has "things that need to be said" or is some kind of supporter of men's rights.

Andrew Tate: Romanian police widen probe into controversial influencer

Romanian police are expanding their investigation into former kickboxing champion Andrew Tate, seizing a fleet of luxury cars from his Bucharest compound over the weekend, and raiding seven more properties - including a newly renovated villa beneath the Carpathian Mountains.

 

The sight of Mr Tate's shiny dove-grey Porsche perched delicately on the battered frame of a police tow truck neatly captured his shift in fortunes as, through the high black gates of his compound, a slow procession of trucks carried his prized collection of luxury cars to join him in police custody.

 

Raids on seven more properties last week are widely seen as a sign that investigators are expanding their search for evidence in the case.

So from never even heard his name before, I kinda been following the news about him

 

Quite the scumbag and an awful human being

 

But, more appalling is that millions of boys and young men idolize him.

We may be going backwards in evolution!

Well I hope you're right, but the rich seem to be able to buy the best attorneys and I'm not sure about the Romanian justice system. That being said I'm sure Ghislaine Maxwell probably thought the same, and that didn't exactly pan out for her

 

If he doesn't go down I fear he's the cheerleader for a whole new generation of misogynist young men taking society back decades, but this time with online porn thrown in!

I saw a video of a lawyer commenting on taped evidence of him speaking. 

It was incredibly damming. 

There is at least one alleged rape victim witness.

There is also a record of him insulting Romanian justice and bragging he could bribe.

They would lose face if he walks on bribing now.

His fans will probably mostly still love him and consider him a victim of the vortex.
