    Right Wing Influencer Andrew Tate Arrested in Romania as Part of Human Trafficking Case


    Tate is known, among other things, for saying that women who are raped ‘bear responsibility’ for it

    [​IMG]Ross A. Lincoln | December 29, 2022 @ 7:11 P

    Misogynist right wing influencer Andrew Tate was arrested alongside his brother in Romania on Thursday, as part of an investigation into human trafficking. And adding an extra layer of humiliation to the serious legal problems he faces, it appears Tate’s failed attempt to start a social media fight with climate activist Greta Thunberg may have helped authorities locate him.

    The Romanian Directorate for the Investigation of Organized Crime and Terrorism announced the arrest in a statement, though the statement didn’t identify the suspects. Tate’s attorney has since confirmed his arrest. According to Romanian authorities the brothers were arrested as part of a probe into what they say is a criminal organization involved in trafficking women.

    4 individuals total were arrested, and authorities say at least 6 women were held captive by the suspects, sexually assaulted and forced to perform in pornographic videos.

    According to local media, the scheme involved Tate and his brother luring women they met on social media to their home and then imprisoning them there. They ended up on law enforcement radar when one of their victims, an American woman, somehow managed to get her location information to a boyfriend who then brought the matter to the U.S. embassy. During the raid, several women, including one American and a woman from Moldova, were rescued.

    Kickboxer Andrew Tate Couldn’t Just Stop Talking After Being Shut Down by Greta Thunberg for ‘Small Dick Energy’
    Tate, a former professional kickboxer, is more famous as a right wing influencer who promotes an aggressively sexist ideology. He was banned from Twitter in 2017 after posting comments that blamed women for being raped, though his Twitter account was reinstated after Elon Musk purchased the site.

    Hilariously, Tate appears to have led authorities to him because of his renewed activity on Twitter. His arrest comes just one day after he made an absolutely pathetic attempt to stoke a twitter beef with climate activist Greta Thunberg. Early Wednesday morning, he tweeted directly at her, bragging about his numerous cars. Tate also asked for Thunberg’s email address.

    Thunberg’s response was brutal, and succinct: “”Yes, please do enlighten me. email me at smalldickenergy@getalife.com.”


    That was the last thing she had to say on the matter. Nevertheless, Tate seemed obsessed with her, as he tried for more than 10 hours to get her attention again. This culminated in an embarrassing video during which he accidentally showed a box from a local pizza chain — which revealed his location. Whoops.

    Guy is an utter alpha douche… Yet I can’t hate how he’s monetized his philosophies.

    If he is guilty of what he’s charged, hope he rots in jail.

    I’ve never heard of this guy before and him getting arrested sounds like it couldn’t have happened to a more deserving guy.

    That’s the most disturbing part of this. That people actually give him money for being an a-hole. It explains a lot of the behavior and characters we see on social media.

    Since this guy is a “mixed martial artist” unfortunately MMA is rampant with these types. The culture almost encourages it. Martial arts isn’t easy, it takes a lot of work and pain. Many of the best fighters I’ve known are also among the nicest most humble people. Unfortunately that doesn’t sell and many just want to see outlandish characters with over inflated egos.

    At this point we might as well turn MMA into WWE.

    Funny I guess but what Tate did there could be considered sexual haarrasment. It doesn't matter if you are 15 or 40, a female has to consent to being sexualized. You can't in an argument with a woman who you have zero sexual relationship with tell them they need a good dicking by your dick. That is abject sexual haarrasment.

    Yeah i dont know anything about that side of the story.

    Does Greta have to seek consent by telling Tate to send an email to smalldickenergy@getalife.com? Or does this concept only apply males.

    Im sure you will find a way to validate Greta's comment.

    Is saying that Tate has a small dick after Tate unsolicitingly messaged her about his entire car collection to troll her equivalent of a 40 years old telling a 19 year old autistic girl you need a "good dicking from me." in response?
    Please die on this hill. Please do. I just want to see the type of arguments you can form while trying to side step looking like a creep in the process.

    I'm just going to assume this guy has been on Joe Rogan's podcast a number of times.

    My kids have been complaining to me about the stupid boys in school who love Andrew Tate. So, I'm happy to see him rotting in a Romanian prison now. Its the funny thing about social media -- you get 13 year olds absorbing and regurgitating the thought leadership of literal sex traffickers.

    How are u gonna cap off the year with a self-own of this magnitude?

    So this moron really possibly tipped off his location to authorities by attempting to clap back at some kid? She was really in his head that much?

    I love seeing stupidity get exposed

    If any of those sex trafficking allegations are true, I hope he spends his entire term in that Romanian prison.
