Subscriptions to their online groups, the War Room and Hustler's University, appear to bring the brothers around $5m a month in membership fees, prosecutors say.

This is sad. Horrible people spawning more horrible people.

It is a problem that the left needs to find its own way of responding to. Right now there are a lot of young disillusioned boys who are being left behind by society. They latch onto these radical right wing ideals/grifters who tell them that they can make all their dreams real if they'll buy our memberships and treat people this and that way. Our society is changing and we need some way to help those who are left behind or we will continue to see an increase in radicalized young men!

Jesus, that's so depressing. People just want to belong to something, but seeing them find a home somewhere like that makes me feel so sad.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The 300 pages of reported testimony and evidence seen by the BBC provide a rare glimpse inside the pre-trial prosecution case against Andrew Tate, whose controversial views and online influence have sparked warnings from teachers, police and rights groups.

Included in the summary is a reproduced text message in which Mr Tate appears to claim leadership of the adult content business that prosecutors say was a human trafficking ring.

Earlier this summer, Romanian prosecutors said in a statement that the Tate brothers had recruited their alleged victims by misleading them about their romantic intentions, before transporting the women to a house on the outskirts of Bucharest - where they were sexually exploited by the group, and forced to produce pornographic content through physical violence and mental coercion.

The prosecutors' file also contains what is claimed to be transcriptions of audio messages from 2020 - in which Tristan Tate appears to say he doesn't want the women on sites like PornHub and OnlyFans to have access to their accounts:

She says she was unable to reject Mr Tate because he would hold her head during sex, telling her he no longer wanted to receive negative messages from her, and threatening to get her pregnant and lock her in a house.

In their report, prosecutors allege that the Tate brothers do not appear to have income "from lawful activities", but that from 2018 onwards they acquired "numerous properties", "15 of the rarest and most expensive cars", estimated to be worth more than £3m, as well as jewellery and $400,000 in cryptocurrency.


The original article contains 1,755 words, the summary contains 259 words. Saved 85%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

The content of the full text of this article is frankly appalling.

I couldn't finish it. Really dreadful.

Same. Deeply sickening to think what they put those women through.

Friend of mine started talking in defense of this guy, and although my wife is best friends with his girlfriend, I cancelled his ass quicker than Netflix coming down on my account sharing. Fuck him and fuck his following.

This guy has to go away

How is his chin that small even WITH a beard? Is that the real reason incels idolize him? I know they've got lots of weird chin issues is he like their Helen Keller? Chinless success story?
