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.

Her responding with "this is what happens when you don't recycle your pizza boxes" was possibly the funniest thing that happened all year.

The fact he was arrested because of GRETA informing the authorities of where he was, was even sweeter.

I saw a theory that someone said to Tate that "GRETA is after you, gotta be careful" and Tate didn't know what that was so he typed "greta" into Google and got back the top result of Greta Thunberg, which was why he ran his mouth at her on Twitter.

With how stupid Tate appears to be I consider that to be a real possibility for how it went down. If so it's even more hilarious.

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.

The general feeling at the time of his arrest was that the police in the country he was in tene to look the other way, as long as you don't make them look bad.

His blowharding forced their hand into action. If he'd just shut up, her probably still be free.

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.

He said the quiet part out loud, because he was sure that the Romanian justice system was easier to navigate as a criminal. Let's hope they took that as a challenge, and will show him it's not easier to get away with, in Romania.

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.

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.
