Influencer Andrew Tate gained many of his millions of followers by telling them he's rich - and he'll make them rich too.

The self-proclaimed misogynist has gone from posing on yachts and filming himself jetting off to Dubai, to being arrested in December over allegations of being part of an organised crime group, human trafficking and rape.

Symbols of Tate's apparent wealth, including luxury cars and properties, have been seized by the Romanian police who are investigating Tate, 36, and his brother and business partner, Tristan, 34.

So, with Tate's assets under the microscope, what is known about how much money his business actually makes?

Speculation about his wealth varies wildly and many of the claims Tate makes about his earnings are unverified, including six-figure sums connected to his "camgirl" business.

It is not known whether this business is connected to the charges facing the brothers and two Romanian women, all of whom deny the claims made against them.

Using publicly available information, Sky News has looked at how much his company might be making through video streaming, as well as selling subscriptions and merchandise.

Video streaming

Banned from Twitter in 2017 (but since reinstated in November 2022), Tate was also removed from YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok in August 2022 for breaching their terms and conditions. But he had already built up millions of followers on each platform.

His army of fans followed him to anti-"cancel culture" streaming platform Rumble , where Tate's associates continue to post clips while he is in prison. Rumble's emphasis on "free speech" has made it popular among right-wing commenters.

Tate claims he signed a $9m (£7.3m) deal with Rumble in 2022, according to CNN. Rumble did not reply to Sky News' request for comment, but issued a statement to CNN calling for the charges against Tate to be "investigated promptly and thoroughly".

Sky News has collated Tate's video streams from his two Rumble channels, TateSpeech and TateConfidential. The former saw higher video views more consistently after he was blocked by other social media sites.

Although TateConfidential is less successful, the two channels collectively mean Tate has amassed huge viewing figures.

Rumble advertises itself as offering some of the most generous amounts paid out per video view, saying that "1,000 views on Rumble.com may earn you as much as 10,000 views on YouTube".

Sara McCorquodale, chief executive and founder of influencer intelligence CORQ, explains that how much social platforms usually pay out tends to be "a bit of a grey area".

"[On Rumble] it could be anything from $0.30 to $20 or $50 per 1,000 views," she said.

"Andrew Tate could be making anything from $600 (£490) to $20,000 (£16,250) for his most prolific videos."

By this estimate, Tate's most popular video "EMERGENCY MEETING 1 - THE MATRIX ATTACKS", which was broadcast five months ago in the days after he was banned from other social platforms could have earned him up to $133,500 (£108,400) after hitting 2.67m views.

As well as earning money through adverts, Rumble gives creators a bonus if their video is hosted on the site's front page.

Mrs McCorquodale explained that Tate's potential earnings on Rumble show just how large his following is, despite the influencer not having access to most mainstream social media sites.

She said: "It shows the numbers of views we are seeing on Andrew's channels are all coming from his audience.

"This is quite worrying because it shows the scale at which he has attracted people to his narrative.

"Andrew Tate is very much aiming his content at young men... He tries to be aspirational, but then he also tries to connect with young men by seemingly understanding the challenges they face in society today."

Manosphere merchandise

With Tate banned from most social media, his fans flock to his website - including to buy merchandise to support him.

Activity on his merchandise page has been saved by the Internet Archive project, a digital library of websites. Its records can not be edited or altered.

Using it, we can see how many items were advertised as for sale, at what price and on what date they were listed as having sold out by.

A screenshot of Tate's online merchandise store on 22 October shows that a T-shirt named "Resist the Slave Mind" was on sale.

It shows Andrew Tate dressed like a character from the 1999 film The Matrix while holding a red pill. The red pill, a motif from the movie, is a popular symbol in what is known as the "manosphere", a loosely connected groups of online misogynists.

The now sold-out shirts were on sale for $100 (£81) each with 1,000 in stock.

This means the T-shirts would have brought in $100,000 (£81,000) of revenue. This is the overall figure earned and would not include any outgoings or division of profit.

These calculations are being made based on figures provided by Tate's website.

These figures may be unreliable, with Sky News discovering that at least one claim on the site is wrong.

Tate's website claims the Resist the Slave Mind T-shirt sold out in the specific timeframe of 25hrs 19m and 43 seconds.

However, archived pages show the T-shirt on sale on 22 October, was still on sale on 5 November and was listed as sold out by 7pm the following day.

This means the T-shirt was on sale for more than two weeks, rather than just over a day.

Other sales on his site recorded by the archive include another T-shirt named "Vision". It was put on sale for $100 (£81) per shirt with 651 listed as available, earning a potential $65,100 (£52,700).

A hoodie, "Cobra", was on sale for $150 (£120) but the internet archive did not record how many units were available.

A pair of mugs were on sale for $139 (£113) with 888 on offer, potentially generating $123,400 (£100,000).

This means, since the end of October, $265,100 (£215,000) may have been generated through merchandise alone - not including the $150 hoodies, of which we don't have a verifiable stock figure for.

Tate also sells supplements on his website, priced at $54.99 (£44.50).

We don't have stock figures to access through the archive, but data provided to Sky News from website analytics company SimilarWeb can give us an insight.

They estimate that the number of hits on the checkout page for supplements in November was around 6,500 and in December around 3,100. While a person visiting the checkout page does not guarantee a sale is made, it does give a sense of how many users are getting to that stage of the purchasing process.

Money-making memberships

Tate sells access to schemes that are advertised as teaching people how to make money online through sessions on skills such as copywriting and crypto-trading.

This is "a classic influencer strategy" that Andrew Tate has put his own spin on, says Mrs McCorquodale.

"The clever thing Andrew Tate has done is recognise that he is a divisive character. Many people may not want to be seen as a fan of him publicly but are buying his subscriptions and engaging privately.

"His subscriptions allow people to engage without risk of judgement. This is crucial."

There are two levels of access. The first is "The Real World", a new incarnation of the Hustler's University, which was shut down last year.

Subscribers pay $49.99 (£40) a month for access to group chat rooms, tutorials and "millionaire mentors". For those signing up early, an entry fee of $27 (£22) was payable, which later increased to $147 (£120).

The website claims over 200,000 people have transferred over from Hustler's University or joined the scheme when it launched in November. This would bring in at least $9,998,000 (£8,089,140) a month in subscriptions if that figure is accurate.

However, Sky News has seen a Telegram group for The Real World where members of Hustler's University were automatically added. It only has 126,255 subscribers.

The number of views each announcement in the group gets has dropped from around 230,000 at the start to around 45,000 in January.

Web traffic to the log in page for The Real World is also much lower than the membership figure would suggest.

Less than 100,000 hits were registered by VStat, another web traffic monitor, in January. The service is unable to give a more precise audience figure when views are this low.

Tate's other subscription service is The War Room, where membership is significantly more expensive, at $5,454 (£4,400), which must be paid via cryptocurrency.

It is not possible to find a reliable independent figure which could indicate how many people are subscribed to The War Room.

Sky News contacted Tate's lawyer for comment regarding the figures set out in this article but did not receive a response.

What can we learn from this snapshot of Tate's earnings?

For Mrs McCorquodale, Sky News' findings goes some of the way towards answering if these earnings tally with Tate's displays of wealth.

"What's clear is he has multiple revenue streams which all link back to him monetising his digital audience and mean he is less reliant on mainstream social media platforms," she said.

"These let him continually push a message and amass more new customers but ultimately he is trying to get them off those platforms and onto his own [such as] his War Room subscription."

The future of Tate's earnings may well be hit by the police investigation, with Mrs McCorquodale highlighting the falling viewing figures on Rumble after his arrest.

She said: "Many people may like what he's saying and think the controversy around him is overblown. But the minute there is a chance he might actually be a criminal, they're out.

"Perhaps this has made consumers review more carefully who he is and his real impact beyond making people annoyed on Twitter."

The truth about Andrew Tate: ‘His home is less Hollywood hideaway, more rundown meat factory’

The former kickboxer has achieved global notoriety by peddling violent misogyny to millions, and claims to have made ‘trillions’ – but is his life of fast cars and luxury a facade?

A ndrew Tate used to cruise along these scruffy suburban streets about 10 miles from the centre of Bucharest in Romania. Past a litter dump and a sprawling cemetery and a line of semis that wouldn’t have looked out of place on the TV soap Brookside. Rolling by in his Lamborghini or Bugatti or any other of his fleet of supercars. Puffing a cigar and adjusting his Michael Corleone sunglasses. Beating his tattooed chest at the red light.

Tate, who likes to call himself Top G (in street slang G stands for gangster), says he’s done nothing wrong. He might look and behave like a gangster. He might have boasted of gangsterish pursuits and claim to have made billions. But now, as a current guest of the Romanian penal system, he says he’s not an actual gangster at all. He says he’s a good guy.

His arrest on 29 December by armed members of Romania’s anti-corruption unit – the ones who arrest gangsters – was over allegations of people trafficking and rape. Officers wearing balaclavas stormed Tate’s compound by cover of night, and say they found guns, knives and large sums of cash. Top G and his younger brother, 34-year-old Tristan, were led away in handcuffs. Two Romanian women, Georgiana Naghel, and a former police officer called Alexandra Luana Radu, were also detained. The four are suspected of being part of a human trafficking group, although they say they are innocent.

I’m on my way to Andrew Tate’s home. I’d never heard of Tate until last summer. I usually cover wars, international crises, old-school corruption. Tate sounded like another self-obsessed attention screecher on social media. “He’s not,” said a colleague. “He’s one of the most Googled people on the internet. He gets more views on social media than Rihanna. Oh, and he told a Twitch Stream that he’s the world’s first trillionaire.”

But how could that be true? How does a former kickboxer from Luton convert notoriety on social media into his claimed Musk-scale wealth? And more pressingly, for Tate at least, what will the Romanian investigators discover about his money-making activities? If he is found guilty, he could be detained in a Romanian jail for the best part of 20 years.

Andrew Tate is a social media phenomenon. His content on TikTok has been viewed more than 12.7bn times. No one else on the platform comes close. He claims to have mastered the social media algorithms that sends posts ripping through cyberspace like a plague. He is a master of buzzwords, hashtags, soundbites and inflammatory language.

His career didn’t begin online – he was a kickboxer. A successful one. In 2009, he was ranked number one in his division in Europe. Commentators squawked about his “multilayered techniques” and “sharp punches to the body”. But by 2016 Tate had left the ring and entered another pugilistic arena, Big Brother. He appeared to be a born provocateur: “I don’t care if nobody likes me,” he told the other contestants. “I know I’m the most intelligent person in the house. Fact!”

A few days later, Tate was thrown out after footage emerged of him beating an ex-girlfriend with a belt (although both Tate and the woman deny abuse and say the clip showed consensual sex). It’s since come to light that he was also being investigated by Hertfordshire police over allegations of rape. In 2019, the Crown Prosecution Service decided not to pursue the allegations .

Tate moved on. He set up a webcam business in the UK, streaming live sex shows featuring women he recruited. He grew his brand on social media, becoming Tate the “alpha male” influencer. He railed against radical feminism and declared that young men needed to seize back their masculinity. “Life is war,” he said. “It’s a war for the female you want. It’s a war for the car you want. It’s a war for the money you want. It’s a war for the status. Masculine life is war!”

Young, disaffected men began to follow him in their droves. They wanted more. Tate responded by ramping up the controversy. On social media, he talked about beating women, about grabbing them by the neck. Then in 2017, he declared that women who were raped bear some of the responsibility. Unsurprisingly, he was banned from all the major social media platforms in 2022.

In the last couple of years, it is Tate’s followers, not the man himself, who have helped to grow his presence on TikTok. They come from all social classes, creeds and countries. Having publicly converted to Islam in October last year, Tate was recently seen carrying a copy of the Qur’an to court in Romania, boosting his popularity among young Muslim men. Schools in the UK are so concerned about Tate’s radicalisation of their students that teachers are being given guidance on how to combat his misogynistic views.

Tate’s digital army of followers say his arrest in Romania is a setup, orchestrated by what they call “the Matrix” – a worldwide conspiracy of mainstream media and politicians who are trying to silence and control him. I’m part of the Matrix. You probably are, too. Anyone who thinks Tate’s brand of violent misogyny is a bad thing is part of the Matrix. “The Matrix has attacked me,” Tate tweeted after his arrest, “but they misunderstand, you cannot kill an idea.”

Undermining the protestations of his vast global fanbase (Tate fans took to the streets in Athens to protest his innocence) and doing little to help Tate’s defence are the bizarrely self-incriminating social media lectures that he has made over the years. Possibly useful when trying to burnish his gangster credentials for a credulous online audience, but less so when faced with a real-world Romanian prosecutor trying to prove you are involved in organised crime.

When Tate first arrived in Romania six years ago, aged 30, he was asked why he chose to relocate. “I like eastern Europe as a whole,” he said, “because corruption is far more accessible.” In the UK, he mused, only those of high status get away with crimes, implying that Romania was open to all.

Pushing through the gears, he then complained about how rape allegations in the UK were pursued a little too vigorously for his tastes – perhaps a reference to his own experience. “In western legal systems,” he said, “whether England, America, or any of them, if a girl says something she needs zero proof … and they will come and arrest you. It’s insanity and I thought, I can’t live under this system any more, so I had to move somewhere with common-sense rules.”

Those common-sense rules have led the Romanian prosecutor to keep Tate and his brother behind bars in what they call “preventive custody” to stop them fleeing, tampering with witnesses or igniting some kind of Trump-esque disruption at the Romanian courtrooms. The pair can be kept until the end of June. Then they must be released or put on trial. Romania has no jury system. If they are put on trial, judges will decide their fate.

The Romanian legal system has never experienced such global scrutiny, and the Tate brothers are already invoking the Matrix as the cause of all this. Leaving a failed appeal hearing in January, Tristan shouted to waiting camera: “Ask the politicians, ask the judges, you’re getting closer to the truth.”

I ’m driving towards Tate’s pad, listening to a recording of him from a post that appeared on Twitter. It’s a tutorial, of sorts, delivered at a gallop in a mangled American-Luton accent: Tate was born in the US, his parents emigrating to the UK when he was about five. His father, Emory, was a trailblazing African American chess champion who died suddenly during a tournament in 2015. His mother used to work as a catering assistant in Luton and is now said to be in Kentucky, staying with Tate’s sister, a lawyer. Tate himself claims to have been a chess prodigy. I continue to listen to the recording as things take an ugly turn. “There’s no such thing,” he says, “as having girls who work for you who you’ve not fucked. It’s impossible. You have to fuck them, and they have to love you. It’s essential to the business, because otherwise women have no loyalty.”

Tate speaks about curing low self-esteem in young men – undoubtedly an issue – and tells his online audience to rise early, train at the gym, build their bodies and minds, push themselves to find self-actualisation. He says they’ll achieve nothing by sitting in front of their screens all day (I know – that’s where they’re watching him), and talks fiercely about the need to “suffer” in order to succeed, a reference to the years he spent in the kickboxing ring, where he says he saw people die.

The tutorial has moved on. Tate wants to teach his devotees how to recruit women into the webcam industry to feature in sexual content for which viewers pay between $2 and $10 a minute. Some receive a lot more. Romania has the biggest webcam industry in Europe – reputedly employing around 200,000 women – likely another reason Tate chose Bucharest as his home.

Tate’s voice fills my car. He’s explaining how to recruit women who are reluctant to undress in front of camera. “If you’re on dates and you try to mention [the webcam business], shit, it doesn’t work, it puts them off. You continue as normal,” he says. “No mention of webcam. You fuck the girl, after you’ve fucked the girl … then you start mentioning things like, ‘You’re always busy at work, you can come and work for me.’”

To close the deal, you should take her out to dinner with a webcam girl already in your employ who will help turn the screw. “Martinis, martinis, martinis,” he says, clinking imaginary glasses, “bang, threesome … put both girls on camera together the first day, give them a bottle of vodka.” The money will come pouring in, he says, and they’ll be hooked. “That’s how you recruit girls,” he says emphatically. “You can’t recruit girls any other way.”

You can imagine Tate’s legal team hearing the recording for the first time. It sounds like textbook psychological coercion. Tricking a woman into thinking she’s your girlfriend, then pressuring her to strip in front of a camera. In Romania, the authorities accuse him of the “loverboy” method. In the UK, it sounds like what we would call grooming.

We pull up on a patch of waste ground beside Tate’s home in the Pipera district of Bucharest, a mix of aspirational new villas and ugly post-communist blocks. Stray dogs bark in the distance. The gate is suitably masculine: heavy, black and sliding. The door into the compound looks like it might be bomb proof. Tate’s not there of course, but two of his heavies dressed in black suits patrol a modest pool, where I’ve seen Tate posing shirtless in online images.

Go around the side and you realise Tate’s home is less Hollywood hideaway and more like a rundown meat factory. Faux brickwork, dripping gutters, dark windows. There’s a pile of rubble where you’d expect the garden to be, and a broken Ikea lamp. Given the billionaire hype, and his regular postings about his private jets, ocean-going yachts, and his fleet of supercars, Tate’s residence is somewhat underwhelming.

There are plenty of exclusive neighbourhoods in Bucharest, crammed with beautiful villas. They’re equipped with tennis courts and pool houses and staff quarters, and they cost millions. If Tate really has the wealth he says he does, why doesn’t he live in Primaverii (Ceaușescu’s former neighbourhood), Kiselev, or Dorobanti? His followers say he needs to be “in hiding” in his weird lair to keep a low profile. But there are plenty of mafiosi in Bucharest who live in smart neighbourhoods and keep a low profile by not blurting out their every move on the internet or acting like “gangsters”.

With fuelling his Bugatti, one of the supercars that have been seized by the Romanian police.

Around the corner, on the Brookside estate, we’re told that Tate rents a semi for some of his webcam performers. We wander across, stumbling through a sodden building site. The house is neat, whitewashed, and in better order than Tate’s, although its jarringly small windows make it look like a custody centre. On the porch is a young woman.

Jasmina is a Romanian in her mid-20s, pretty and charming. She has a lot of tattoos. One, on her arm, says “Tate”. Others are branded in a similar way: “Tate’s girl” or “Tate’s property”. We meet a second woman the following day at the same address. She is branded too.

An ex-girlfriend of Tate’s in the UK claims she was manipulated by him. “Sophie” doesn’t want her real name out there because Tate’s followers can get quite nasty online. She says Tate first contacted her on Facebook. “There were no red flags at all in the beginning,” she says. “He just took an interest in my day-to-day life, wanted to know what I was into, what made me happy.” Sophie flew to Bucharest without ever having met Tate, excited about seeing her new boyfriend. She lived in the house with Tate and his brother. After a while, she says, Tate raised the issue of webcam work. “You should do it, you’d make a fortune – but if you don’t want to, you don’t have to.” Then she says the pressure started. “If you love me, you’d do it. If you care about me, you would do it.”

Sophie had done some modelling and pole dancing before, so she wasn’t a complete stranger to this world. It’s probably why he approached her in the first place. But she went to Bucharest to be Tate’s girlfriend, and fell in love with him. Then she says he started chipping away at her.

In the end, she agreed to the webcam work. She says she was under Tate’s spell. She would have done anything to win his approval. Sophie had never seen his online tutorial on how to convince women to perform on webcams.

One day, she says, he pinned her to the wall and slapped her hard. On another occasion, during rough sex, she says he strangled her until she passed out. Sophie is now assisting the Romanian prosecutor with the investigation. She is the first British complainant, and you can understand why she’s worried about a backlash.

The two branded women we meet at Tate’s rented house have been with him for years. They are both being treated as victims by the prosecutor, but both say they’re not victims at all. “I’ve never seen [either] of them being aggressive or rude. They’ve always respected people,” Jasmina told Romanian TV station Antena 1. Seemingly unaware of the possibility of psychological coercion, she told reporters: “The girls were never deprived of their freedom … the door was always open.”

If Tate is to be believed, his webcam business was extremely fruitful. He told a podcast that, at its height, he had 75 women working for him in four different locations, making him $600,000 a month. We found two of them in Bucharest. An insider at the Romanian prosecutor’s office said they certainly didn’t find the 75 webcammers that Tate claims.

I n the centre of Bucharest is a former shopping mall converted to offices. On the sixth floor is Best Studios, one of the biggest and most successful webcam outfits in the city, with around 200 women on its books. One of its bosses, Maria Boroghina, shows me around the 40 or so bedrooms where large beds await the day’s activities. Smartly dressed in an expensive silk blouse, her hair cropped and bleached blond, she is a former webcam model herself, and made $20,000 a month back in 2012. Now in her late 30s, she’s the operations manager and travels the world representing Romania’s webcam industry, attending summits in Colombia and Portugal.

Maria knows everyone in the industry. Does she know Tate? Not until she saw his arrest on television. Is it possible he could have earned tens of millions from the webcam industry? “Oh!” she says, puzzled. “If he claims that, I would like him to come and train me, because we are not able to do that.” Then, more firmly. “It’s not realistic in this industry to win that much money with just a few models.”

There are many more Tate companies, though. Perhaps he earned his trillion elsewhere. As we make calls to the company records office, we stop at a smart Bucharest coffee shop. Well-heeled teenage boys have congregated from a prestigious local high school. Have they heard of Tate? There is a rush of excitement. “The Top G!” A 16-year-old with a bookish air takes charge. “We love Andrew Tate,” he says, smiling. “He teaches us important lessons about life and things that we are not taught at school.”

“Like how to act when you want to set up a business.”

Now, for the sake of completeness, there is more to Tate’s teaching than threesomes and vodka. Some of his site’s business advice is relatively orthodox. But it’s difficult to get beyond the misogyny.

I ask if they think bullying women is OK. “It depends on the girl really,” someone shouts. There’s laughter and a few whoops. “If you find an educated girl, then he won’t [bully] that girl … but if you talk to a whore … ” The boy shrugs his shoulders and gives me a knowing grin.

R omania is my spiritual home. I met my wife in Bucharest nearly 30 years ago. Back then, intolerance of all sorts was rife. Homosexuality could land you in jail. There has been huge progress, particularly since the country joined the EU in 2007. But traditional views on gender roles remain. It’s not unusual, or offensive to most, to be told that a woman’s place is in the home rearing children. Wives cook; husbands are fed. Men are expected to be tough and protective, and to look like men. Long hair is not much liked.

Sexual offences have not traditionally been a priority for the Romanian courts. Neither has human trafficking. Particularly if the accused is of high social status and the female complainant is not. That’s changing. But would the Romanian authorities have been pursuing this so assiduously if the Tate brothers’ first complainant had been a poor Romanian woman?

In fact, she was a US citizen. In April 2022, the brothers’ mansion was raided by police following a tipoff from the US embassy that a 21-year-old American woman was being held against her will. Police officers took the brothers away for questioning. They were soon released, but the raid and the information gathered were the catalyst for the brothers’ arrests just after Christmas.

Andrew Tate, dressed in a black leather jacket and a navy hoodie, is led away by police wearing balaclavas after the raid on his home in Bucharest, Romania, in December 2022.

In Bucharest, we’re still following the money. And casinos are in the frame because Top G says he owns a chain of them. It’s a natural fit for Tate. “The story is,” he tells his followers in a video clip, “there were three brothers, mafia guys (naturally) who owned 400 casinos across eastern Europe. I went to them … ” He claims he got involved. Made a fortune. Designed a business model.

Tate says he owns a chain of 15 casinos and that they earn him $1m a month. Well, apparently not, according to the company records in Bucharest. We search high and low, and find no evidence that he owns a single casino. Not of the Bond and martini variety, at any rate. There is a weak historical link to a chain that operates slot-machine arcades, end-of-the-pier stuff. Yes, they’re known as casinos in Romania. But they’re not. That company is currently under investigation for alleged extortion and organised crime involving the Romanian mafia.

Tate has spoken before about owning some arcades in Romania in a business arrangement with the slot-machine arcades company. His tactic at one was to divert queues from a neighbouring Starbucks. He’d offer free coffee to tempt people inside, and they’d shove their lunch money into his one-armed bandits. Enterprising. But enough to earn him $1m a month?

Curiously, shortly after the police knocked on Tate’s door in April last year, it seems he offloaded a Romanian company called Groundbreaking Developments, a consultancy for business and management, and put it into the name of a woman who was later arrested as part of the same trafficking case. The company was transferred again to another woman, who turns out to be a pornographic actor from Grimsby. It has now been moved to Dubai, and we can’t see how much remains in its accounts.

It’s tough to find out how much Tate’s Romanian companies are actually worth. We can find tax returns for only one: Talisman Enterprises, listed as a web portal business. That has £1.2m of debt.

I tweeted about Tate’s finances recently, suggesting he may not have as much money as advertised. It received 2.3m hits and colourful responses from young men wearing Maga baseball caps. They thought they could detect the hand of the Matrix. I was called a moron, parasite, fake journalist and much worse.

One Tate business venture stands out as the likely source of his income. (It’s not as if Tate is on the breadline; something must explain the €3.6m worth of supercars and watches the Romanians say they seized from his home.) In 2021, Tate set up something called Hustlers University, which promised financial freedom through online tutorials with professors who are “world class multimillionaire experts”. The website looks like a Vin Diesel film. Explosions. Fireballs. Drifting Ferraris. But when you get into the meat of it, there appears to be some sound investment advice. The lecturers look like Bond villains. But they’re at Hustlers University. What do you expect? One has his face pixelated.

Hustlers University had an unorthodox recruitment method. Students were paid a cut of the subscription fee for any new student they managed to bring in. That provided Tate with a highly incentivised sales force overnight. If you think it sounds like a pyramid scheme, you wouldn’t be the first. Tate says it’s not.

Subscriptions cost $49.99 month. Tate claims he had more than 100,000 students. That seems a little far-fetched – one student said it was more like 30,000. But even that would have made Tate rich. Hustlers University has effectively rebranded and opened again as The Real World.

If Tate really does have immense wealth, I’m struggling to find it. There is one place we haven’t been able to look though, and that’s the blockchain. Tate regularly talks up crypto on social media, and in an October 2022 podcast he told listeners that he flipped a $600,000 bitcoin investment from March 2020, turning it into a $12m profit.

He does seem to have at least one digital wallet, but we can’t look inside. Romanian law enforcement can’t either, but they can track any transactions in or out. There’s legal precedent, at least, for them to freeze whatever’s there.

B ack at Tate’s Bucharest compound, the supercars have long gone, seized by the authorities in connection with the investigation into alleged human trafficking. A neighbour wanders by loaded with shopping. “They’ve never done any wrong,” he says, gesturing at Andrew Tate’s home. “It’s the politicians behind all of this. They’re trying to stop him getting to his money.” Tate would doubtless agree.

He and his brother are not likely to be home for a while. The courts have until the end of June to start a trial or release them. An insider in the Romanian prosecutor’s office said they expect a trial to begin earlier than that, at which point the Tate brothers will be moved from a holding centre to a penitentiary, where conditions will likely be more severe. And the mood music isn’t good. The judge extended their detention in January referring to the brothers’ “capacity and effort to exercise permanent psychological control over the victims … including by resorting to constant acts of violence”.

If convicted, it’s possible they could be looking at many years in a Romanian jail. Tate, a man created in cyberspace, would see his money reduced to binary code locked in a virtual wallet that no human can reach. Andrew Tate did not respond to a request to comment for this article.

Update added on 15 February 2023: A spokesperson for Andrew Tate contacted the Guardian after publication to say that Tate denies all the allegations made against him.

An avid internet user might have heard of Andrew Tate on social media. The British American personality got massive fame after the pandemic. Tate is infamous for his controversial statements and ability to respond in a subtle way to his naysayers.

Recently, fans witnessed something similar in his latest Twitter post. The 36-year-old posted a video of himself working out on his yacht. He can be seen performing some bag drills and lifting weights.

However, a three-time Mr. Olympia Chris Bumstead wasn’t impressed with Tate’s video. He noticed a minor detail in Tate’s video and mocked the social media star in the comment section.

Loading embed tweet https://twitter.com/Cobratate/status/1597666054633029633?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

“Tiny weights,” Bumstead wrote. Staying true to his character, Tate in response wrote, “Heaviest weights I could find on the super yacht. How heavy are the weights on your yacht?” 

It is one of his famous lines that the social media star uses often to mock his haters.

However, the conversation didn’t end there. The professional bodybuilder took the exchange on his official Instagram account. But he denied having a Twitter account.

Bumstead uploaded a screenshot of the conversation on his Instagram stories and wrote, “I don’t have a Twitter, but it is hilarious if it’s real.” 

Tate and his controversies

Tate is an entrepreneur. However, he hails from a combat sports background. He was a professional kickboxer. But stopped competing early. After that, ‘Top G’ indulged in multiple online businesses and made an audience for himself.

However, the British American personality has fallen into controversy several times because of his unfiltered views. After the pandemic, he suffered massive backlash because of his controversial statements about women. As a result, he was banned from major social media platforms. But returned to Twitter after Elon Musk acquired it recently.

What are your thoughts on the exchange between Tate and Bumstead?

Is This Andrew Tate's Genuine Twitter Account?

Tate remained influential on social media while facing rape and human trafficking charges., nur ibrahim, published jun 22, 2023.

False

About this rating

Controversial online influencer Andrew Tate has reportedly  promoted  dubious money-making schemes, along with sinister and troubling misogynistic views, on his widely followed social media accounts. His influence on the internet has spread so far that many copycats emerged online mirroring his behavior and tactics. 

One copycat account in particular is almost indistinguishable from Tate's official Twitter account,  @Cobratate , complete with blue checkmark and all. A tweet comparing screenshots of the real and fake accounts included the comment, "Even the verified grifters aren't safe. A cloned Andrew Tate account is pumping crypto scams."

Even the verified grifters aren't safe. A cloned Andrew Tate account is pumping crypto scams. To 1.3 million followers. pic.twitter.com/d2GktJ3980 — John Scott-Railton (@jsrailton) June 21, 2023

The left screenshot showed @Cobarrtate , which had 1.3 million followers, while the right showed Tate's actual Twitter account,  @Cobratate , with its 6.9 million followers. Both accounts look almost entirely the same with indistinguishable profile pictures, and they link to Tate's official website.

Both accounts listed his location as being in Dubai, even though at the time of publication he was currently under house arrest in Romania. He continued  tweeting regularly, despite his incarceration. 

However, Tate's  official  website only linked back to @Cobratate, not the imposter account, @Cobarrtate. Furthermore, only @Cobratate's tweets have been reported on by various news outlets .

Tate's real account actually warned about scams on May 17, 2023, at 5:16 p.m., saying until he gave the signal to buy bitcoin, no one should do so, and that any other calls to buy were "all scams": "OK FUCK IT I WILL ENDORSE A SHITCOIN AND SEND IT TO THE FUCKING MOON ON THE 1ST OF JUNE. DONT BUY ANY COIN UNTILL YOU GET THE SIGNAL FROM ME THEYRE ALL SCAMS."

OK FUCK IT I WILL ENDORSE A SHITCOIN AND SEND IT TO THE FUCKING MOON ON THE 1ST OF JUNE. DONT BUY ANY COIN UNTILL YOU GET THE SIGNAL FROM ME THEYRE ALL SCAMS. HU STUDENTS GET TOLD 1 HOUR IN ADVANCE. EMAIL LIST GETS 5MINS IN ADVANCE. THEN I PUMP SOME RANDOM GARBAGE TO… — Andrew Tate (@Cobratate) May 17, 2023

@Cobratate's tweet was then retweeted by the fake @Cobarrtate. The fake account also promoted cryptocurrency by mirroring Tate's tweets with the same promotional line, writing at 8:46 p.m. on May 17, 2023: "OK ITS TIME I WILL ENDORSE A SHITCOIN AND SEND IT TO THE FUCKING MOON ON THE 1ST OF JUNE. NAME TOKEN $TATE."

OK ITS TIME I WILL ENDORSE A SHITCOIN AND SEND IT TO THE FUCKING MOON ON THE 1ST OF JUNE. NAME TOKEN $TATE PRESALE ADRESS: 0x0249FDed9c1583E1E20B1e444A517642740D017D MINIMUM: .025 ETH. MAXIMUM: 5 ETH. DROP YOUR ETH ADRESS IN COMMENT — Andrew Tate (@Cobarrtate) May 18, 2023

We took a screenshot of the retweet by the fake @Cobarrtate. Given how the Twitter profiles are almost identical and the profile names are the same despite the handles being different, it is easy to see how many online would mistake the two accounts.

andrew tate yacht tweet

Tate himself has not been immune to  accusations of scamming. He shut down one of his moneymaking efforts conducted through his so-called "Hustlers University" after claims that he was running a "pyramid scheme." He said such claims were "false." 

The origins of the social media account are largely unconfirmed but many online claimed that the original account belonged to the father of popular South Korean singer Mark Tuan of GOT7 band. On May 17, 2023, a tweet that appeared to be from Tuan's sister shared a screenshot of the @Cobarrtate profile and claimed:  "Please don't engage with this account…it is my dad's account, but it has been hacked and taken over, we are trying to get it back but for now please do not engage …would hate for anyone to get scammed."

Please don't engage with this account…it is my dad's account, but it has been hacked and taken over, we are trying to get it back but for now please do not engage …would hate for anyone to get scammed pic.twitter.com/5gXCUlMTMZ — Grace Tuan (@gytuan) May 18, 2023

One post argued that Tate himself was behind the hacking, but we have no evidence to confirm this. The post also claimed that the original Twitter account handle had been changed along with the profile picture and header. None of the account's tweets prior to May 15 reference Tate. We reached out to an Instagram account associated with Raymond Tuan to learn more about the hacking report and will update this post if we get more information. 

On June 21, 2023, Tate was charged with rape and human trafficking in Romania. According to various reports , many of his followers online continue to boost his posts despite the accusations against him. 

In July 2023, a reader alerted us with an update on @Cobarrtate. The account no longer exists under that username . Instead the account username  @linbea945_ cropped up with the same recent retweets of Tate's original Twitter account and more that a million followers. @Cobarrtate's tweets have all been deleted but the profile has been archived here . 

In sum, the above tweet by @jsrailton accurately compares a fake Tate account with the real one, @Cobratate. Given that @Cobarrtate is clearly impersonating the real Twitter account, we rate the claim as "False."

The Andrew Tate Case in Romania: Here’s What to Know

The online influencer and his brother, Tristan Tate, face a variety of charges including human trafficking. They were released from house arrest while they await trial.

By Isabella Kwai

Andrew Tate, a wealth-flaunting online influencer known for his male chauvinism and misogynistic views, has been indicted in Romania for human trafficking and forming an organized criminal group.

Prosecutors formally filed an indictment against Mr. Tate and his younger brother, Tristan, in a Bucharest court in June. That means they will likely face a trial in Romania, although the timing is unclear, and the indictment still needs to be examined by a judge.

Mr. Tate won at least a temporary victory on Friday when a court ordered his release, along with his brother, from house arrest while they await trial, although the brothers said in a statement that their movements would still be subject to limitations.

After a court hearing in June, Mr. Tate thanked his supporters and accused the news media of lying. They were not the first wealthy men who had been “unfairly attacked,” he said, adding that, “I look forward to being found innocent,” Mr. Tate said.

Here’s what to know about the case.

Who is Andrew Tate?

Mr. Tate, 36, is a British American former competitive kickboxer who won greater fame after appearing as a contestant on the British reality television show “Big Brother” in 2016. He was ejected from the show, according to The Sun tabloid, after a video surfaced of him hitting a woman with a belt, which they both said was consensual.

He amassed a following of millions, many of them young men, across social media and appeared on podcasts boasting of get-rich-quick schemes and making demeaning comments about women. Mr. Tate has claimed that men are victims of feminism and that women “belong” to men and need men’s guidance. He has also described ways in which he would physically attack women and called them partly responsible if they were raped.

He has used ostentatious displays of wealth, such as a fleet of luxury cars, to signal his masculinity, and has promised to teach his followers through an online “academy” how to have the same lifestyle, charging them $49.99 a month.

He has also said that he is a victim of “the matrix” — an umbrella term for what he views as a conspiracy by corporate elites, feminists and mainstream politicians to target men.

Educators have raised concerns that Mr. Tate’s messaging is finding traction among young boys wrestling with their own ideas of masculinity in an era of changing gender roles. He and his followers say that his arrest has only fed into a narrative that men are being victimized.

Many social media sites have barred Mr. Tate, but he still has a presence on Twitter, where he has almost seven million followers.

What is Andrew Tate accused of?

The influencer, his brother and two Romanian women have been charged with forming an organized criminal group in 2021 and engaging in human trafficking across Romania, Britain and the United States. Prosecutors have kept some details of the charges against them confidential, but an official in the prosecutor’s office in Romania confirmed that the former kickboxer was also facing accusations of rape.

Investigators have identified seven women who say they were exploited by the group and forced into performing sexual acts on camera, which were then disseminated for financial gain. The brothers first misled the women, prosecutors said, by seducing them and promising them a relationship, a method known as “the lover boy,” and housing them in a compound outside the Romanian capital of Bucharest.

One of the women accused a defendant of raping her on two occasions in March 2022 by using violence and psychological pressure, the prosecutors said. On another occasion, when a woman refused to make more pornographic videos and asked to leave, one of the group used violence against her, they said.

The brothers have denied the accusations against them and maintain their innocence. Mr. Tate has called the case a conspiracy against him and framed himself as a martyr to his Twitter followers.

“Today it’s me. Tomorrow it’s you. Nobody is safe from these lies,” he posted on Twitter in June .

What led to the indictment?

Mr. Tate has been using Romania as a base since about 2016 and has not disguised his reasons for doing so to his fans.

“I like living in a society where my money, my influence and my power mean that I’m not below or beholden” to any laws, he told them.

He began drawing increased attention last December after he clashed online with the climate activist Greta Thunberg, asking for her email in a tweet so he could boast about his collection of cars and their “enormous emissions.”

Ms. Thunberg’s response, mocking Mr. Tate’s masculinity and suggesting that he needed to get a life, went viral.

There was also widespread speculation online about whether a distinctive pizza box featured in one of Mr. Tate’s tweets to Ms. Thunberg had alerted Romanian authorities to his presence in the country, but a Romanian official said that was not the case .

Mr. Tate, his brother and two others were arrested soon after and investigated for human trafficking, rape and forming an organized criminal group. Initially held in a Bucharest prison, the two were moved to house arrest three months later.

Mr. Tate has since framed himself as a philanthropist, promising to donate money to charity and “save the world.”

What happens next?

With the indictment submitted to the Bucharest court, prosecutors say the trial process will begin, though it will not be immediate. A judge in a preliminary chamber will first look at the case and determine the conditions the accused must adhere to before a date is set.

As part of the indictment, the authorities have requested the confiscation of the brothers’ assets, which they said included more than $100,000 in various currencies, cryptocurrencies valued at about $380,000, land and property in Romania and luxury goods. The defendants will also have to pay the legal costs of the case of about $60,000.

The 10 strangest things Andrew Tate has said since he's been in jail

The 10 strangest things Andrew Tate has said since he's been in jail

Andrew Tate has tweeted more from jail in the past few months than most of us will do from the comfort of our own homes for a lifetime – and the majority of it is pretty out there.

Tate is currently on trial in Romania, and it was confirmed this week that the controversial influencer will remain in prison after a court upheld a third 30-day detention for the social media influencer.

Tate is being held in the country on suspicion of human trafficking and organised crime. He previously lost his appeal against a judge’s decision on 21st February to keep him behind bars for another month. It is the third appeal since their initial arrest that he and his brother Tristan have lost.

The former kickboxer was previously banned for five and a half years after violating the platform's terms of service, but was welcomed back to Twitter in 2022 – and he’s been making up for lost time ever since.

These are the strangest things he’s been saying on Twitter since he was arrested back on December 29th.

Flying is “genuinely” possible

\u201cHow many of you have genuinely tried to fly?\n\nGENUINELY.\n\nHow many of you have researched, trained, and truly TRIED to fly?\n\nNONE OF YOU.\n\nWhy?\n\nBecause you think it\u2019s impossible.\n\nYou\u2019ve never pushed yourself because you believe the goal can never be achieved.\u201d — Andrew Tate (@Andrew Tate) 1677520149

Tate was recently mocked for asking if people have attempted the “impossible” task of “genuinely trying to fly” .

“How many of you have genuinely tried to fly? GENUINELY. How many of you have researched, trained, and truly TRIED to fly?” he wrote.

“NONE OF YOU. Why? Because you think it’s impossible. You’ve never pushed yourself because you believe the goal can never be achieved.”

When he said he fought a ghost in his cell

\u201cI was awoken last night by an icy chill\n\nand identified a ghost in my prison cell\n\nHe was terrified and begged me not to annihilate him\n\nI sent him back to hell with a message for the demons\n\nI am always ready.\u201d — Andrew Tate (@Andrew Tate) 1677319275

Tate surprised his followers by writing a strange post claiming he’d had a fight with a ghost in his prison cell.

"I was awoken last night by an icy chill and identified a ghost in my prison cell,” he wrote. "He was terrified and begged me not to annihilate him.

"I sent him back to hell with a message for the demons. I am always ready."

Keeping fit inside his cell

\u201cI am in a cell.\n\nI have extremely limited freedom of action.\n\nEvery single day,\n\nI do 500 squats.\n\n500 push-ups.\n\nPractice my tiger paw technique.\n\nWalk 10km.\n\nWrite and complete lessons for the students inside The Real World.\n\nRead and respond to 100s of letters.\u201d — Andrew Tate (@Andrew Tate) 1677165826

Tate also claimed that he walks 10km and does 500 squats and 500 press ups every day in prison.

He claimed he has “extremely limited freedom of action” but will his time in his cell he said he is able to practice his “tiger paw technique”.

He wrote: “I am in a cell. I have extremely limited freedom of action. Every single day, I do 500 squats. 500 push-ups.

“Practice my tiger paw technique. Walk 10km. Write and complete lessons for the students inside The Real World. Read and respond to 100s of letters.”

He’s on a mission to ‘protect men’

\u201cI updated my will from prison.\n\nI will be donating 100 million to start a charity to protect men from false accusations.\u201d — Andrew Tate (@Andrew Tate) 1675599198

Tate has been thinking about the outside world, clearly, and he previously posted about his intentions to start a “charity” to “protect men from false accusations”.

He wrote at the beginning of February that he would be “donating 100 million to start a charity to protect men from false accusations”.

Tate didn’t offer any details of what “protections” his charity would offer, nor of how it would go about implementing them, nor, indeed, what kinds of “false accusations” would be covered by its work.

Comprising himself to Nelson Mandela

\u201c"I have taken a moment here to rest, to steal a view of the glorious vista that surrounds me, to look back on the distance I have come. But I can only rest for a moment, for with freedom come responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not ended.\u201d\n\nNelson Mandela\u201d — Andrew Tate (@Andrew Tate) 1675257142

Delusions of grandeur? Tate? Quite possibly.

He compared himself to former South African president and Apartheid activist Nelson Mandela on February 1, posting a quote from the great man.

"I have taken a moment here to rest, to steal a view of the glorious vista that surrounds me, to look back on the distance I have come. But I can only rest for a moment, for with freedom come responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not ended.”

\u201cThe Matrix has attacked me.\n\nBut they misunderstand, you cannot kill an idea.\n\nHard to Kill.\n\nhttps://t.co/eBRKw7mabU\u201d — Andrew Tate (@Andrew Tate) 1673197734

Tate has been weirdly obsessed with the notion of “the Matrix” while behind bars – and not the film.

He’s talked about it for a long time, previously explaining to YouTuber Rob Moore last year: “In the movie The Matrix, your body heat is being salvaged, and to keep your mind occupied, you’re living inside a false reality, computer generated.

“The reason I think we live in a matrix now is because I think the same thing is happening. Perhaps it’s not our body heat - perhaps it’s our work, our ideas – but they are being salvaged, and the reality they’ve given us to occupy our brains is false.

“We don’t live in the real world. We are living in a reality where we’re told stories and narratives that aren’t true, where they try very hard to distract us with garbage.”

Anyway, he’s been banging on about it while in Romania, writing a few days into his time in jail: “The Matrix has attacked me. But they misunderstand, you cannot kill an idea. Hard to Kill.”

Hitting out at Logan Paul

\u201cYou are the Matrix. You are an Agent.\n\nBut the Matrix is cracking.\n\nAnd now you will pay the price.\u201d — Andrew Tate (@Andrew Tate) 1673442998

One of the oddest moments came after YouTuber Logan Paul appeared to share Tate’s stance on “the Matrix” – only for Tate to throw it back in his face.

YouTuber and Impaulsive podcast host Paul then took to Twitter, writing: "the matrix is real. pray you never become its target". However, there is no evidence to suggest it was aimed at Tate.

Tate, however, took offence to Paul's tweet by directly responding: "You are the Matrix / You are an Agent / But the Matrix is cracking / And now you will pay the price."

Saying he had a full head of hair

\u201cI saw my reflection today and I barely recognized myself\n\nA long beard, a full head of hair\n\nand the stresses of battle show on my face\n\nBut then I looked into my eyes\n\nAnd recognized myself completely\n\nThey cannot break me.\u201d — Andrew Tate (@Andrew Tate) 1677617291

People have been fixated on his hair situation while in jail, and Tate wasn’t fooling anyone when he claimed he had a ‘full head of hair’ recently.

“I saw my reflection today and I barely recognized myself,” he wrote. “A long beard, a full head of hair.”

His “Judge Judy” show

\u201cI am considering starting a relationship counseling show, very similar to Judge Judy\n\nA man and a woman will come to me to present their arguments\n\nAnd I will decide who was right and who was wrong.\n\nExclusively on https://t.co/BkFKrGX89T\n\nWould you watch it?\u201d — Andrew Tate (@Andrew Tate) 1677186023

We don’t know where to start with this one.

“I am considering starting a relationship counseling show, very similar to Judge Judy,” he tweeted from his cell.

“A man and a woman will come to me to present their arguments and I will decide who was right and who was wrong.”

His poem about cockroaches

\u201cThey are trying to break me.\n\nThrown inside a cell without light. \n\nCockroaches, lice, and bed bugs are my only friends at night.\n\nWhen the guards bring me to and from the courtroom, I stay absolutely respectful.\n\nThey try to pour hatred into my heart.\u201d — Andrew Tate (@Andrew Tate) 1674579028

One unexpected post saw him write a short poem about bugs, which read: “They are trying to break me.

“Thrown inside a cell without light.

“Cockroaches, lice, and bed bugs are my only friends at night.

“When the guards bring me to and from the courtroom, I stay absolutely respectful.

“They try to pour hatred into my heart.”

Andrew Tate wins appeal in Romanian court over seized assets

C ontroversial influencer Andrew Tate on Monday won an appeal in Romanian court over the seizure of his assets as part of an ongoing human trafficking criminal case. 

Tate and his brother, along with two Romanian women, were indicted in June  for human trafficking, rape and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women. They have denied the allegations.

The indictment came after Romanian authorities seized goods and money worth roughly equivalent to $4 million as part of a criminal inquiry into Tate, including cash, designer watches, and luxury cars. A month later, prosecutors said they had also seized some properties and cryptocurrency.

The Bucharest court overturned Tate's challenge against the asset seizure last month. The Bucharest Court of Appeals has now accepted his request and ordered that the seizure be reconsidered.

For now, the Tate’s assets remain seized until that reassessment and ruling is made. It is not yet clear when their trial will begin.

While the investigation ended when the four were indicted, the case is now with the Bucharest court's preliminary chamber, which needs to inspect the files to ensure their legality.

The Tate brothers were held in police custody between December 2022 and April 2023 pending a criminal investigation to prevent them from fleeing the country or tampering with evidence.

They were then placed under house arrest until August. Since then, they have been under judicial control, a lighter preventative measure meaning they have regular check-ins with the police but can move around freely except for leaving the country.

Tate has resided in Romania since 2017. The former professional kickboxer, who has garnered millions of followers online by promoting an unapologetic hypermasculine lifestyle, has repeatedly claimed that Romanian prosecutors have no evidence and has alleged that the case is a political conspiracy designed to silence him.

Beyond the initial purchase price, the annual maintenance, crew salaries, fuel, and dockage fees can add millions more to the total expenditure.

As a result, many believe in his innocence, arguing that the allegations are outrageous and unfounded.

Jail Time and House Arrest

These were undoubtedly challenging times for Tate, yet he maintained his innocence throughout.

Soldiers killed in military helicopter crash in Mississippi identified

An AH-64 Apache in Mississippi in 2021.

Two soldiers were killed during a training flight Friday when their military attack helicopter crashed near the small city of Booneville, Mississippi, Gov. Tate Reeves said.

The governor identified the fallen Saturday as Chief Warrant Officer 4 Bryan Andrew, 36, serving as an AH-64 Delta Apache instructor; and Chief Warrant Officer 4 Derek Joshua Abbott, 42, serving as a maintenance test pilot.

“We will always remember the dedicated soldiers for their honorable service, and we grieve with the families during this tragic time,” Reeves said at a news conference Saturday,

Zemek was a member of Alpha Company 1st Battalion, 149th Aviation Regiment, and Abbott was a member of Delta Company of the 2nd Battalion, 151st Lakota Medical Evacuation unit.

Both were based at the Mississippi National Guard's Army Aviation Support Facility 2 in Tupelo, Reeves said. The facility is about 20 miles south of the crash site.

"Our hearts are truly broken at the loss of these two members of our family," Maj. Gen. Janson D. Boyles, commander of the Mississippi National Guard, said at the news conference.

The state-based force said in a statement Friday that it was prioritizing "proper casualty assistance" for the family members of the two people killed.

The two-seat AH-64 Apache was on a routine training flight when it was reported down in a wooded area about 2 p.m., the Mississippi National Guard said in a statement.

The sheriff of Prentiss County, Randy Tolar, told NBC affiliate WLBT of Jackson that the aircraft went down off Highway 30 near Mount Olive Baptist Church.

The church is in the town of Baldwyn, which is in Prentiss and Lee counties in northeast Mississippi. Baldwyn is about 11 miles south of Booneville.

Shortly before the crash, at least two wind gusts measuring 21 mph were registered in Booneville, according to National Weather Service data. The temperature was 64 degrees.

On Feb. 6, a CH-53E Super Stallion helicopter traveling from Creech Air Force Base, Nevada, to Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, California, crashed amid a winter storm, killing all five U.S. Marines on board , officials said.

And in April 2023, two U.S. Army AH-64 Apache helicopters returning to Fort Wainwright in Fairbanks, Alaska, after a training flight collided, killing three soldiers and injuring a fourth , the 11th Airborne Division said

The Friday incident is under investigation, the Mississippi National Guard said.

Peppa Pig, Wolfoo

Lawsuits, Countersuits, And Youtube Takedowns: The Copyright Battle Between EOne’s ‘Peppa Pig’ And Sconnect’s ‘Wolfoo’

By Jamie Lang | 10/24/2022 8:59 am | Be the First to Comment!

This summer, amid a flurry of legal issues, Youtube removed nearly 2,000 extremely popular Wolfoo videos produced by Vietnamese studio Sconnect following claims from Entertainment One (EOne) that the franchise is a knockoff of its popular Peppa Pig series.

What’s happened? In June, Youtube pulled the Wolfoo videos from several verified accounts hosted by the show’s production company Sconnect. According to social media tracking website Social Blade, the videos have likely lost somewhere between two and three billion views since then. Sconnect claims that downtime has cost the company significant financial losses, and “the damage is increasing every hour.”

Why did the videos get taken down? Youtube took down the Wolfoo videos after requests were made by EOne, the Toronto-based company which owns Peppa Pig . According to Sconnect, EOne’s claims that Wolfoo was derived from Peppa Pig are false, and Youtube should not have acted on them.

What is the legal history here? EOne, which is owned by American toy company Hasbro, previously filed copyright suits against Sconnect in both the U.K. and Russia, claiming that Wolfoo is little more than a “reworked” Peppa Pig knockoff. The U.K. case was meant to take place in July but has been delayed until November. The Russian case took place in August, when the Moscow City Court dismissed the claims by EOne against Sconnect. The court definitively stated that no breach of intellectual property rights had been committed by Sconnect, and that EOne cannot file a claim making the same accusations against Sconnect in the future.

What was Sconnect’s response? Sconnect filed a countersuit in Russia seeking compensation for losses and filed an unfair competition lawsuit against EOne with the People’s Court of Hanoi, claiming illegal use of trademarks and images. According to Sconnect, EOne has used the Wolfoo tag on at least 53 of its Peppa Pig videos to pull traffic that would have otherwise been directed to the Wolfoo channels.

Where does Youtube stand? According to Youtube, its copyright protection tools are meant to be used by property owners and users alike, and it never acts as an intermediary to resolve conflicts like the one between EOne and Sconnect. Essentially, it looks like the platform is waiting for a more definitive conclusion to the legal feud before it’s willing to take any further action on behalf of either party. This isn’t the first time that Youtube has been asked to intervene under similar circumstances. Just last year, Youtube took down the Super Jojo channel, which had more than 22 million subscribers at the time, after a copyright claim was made by Cocomelon producers Moonbug Entertainment and Treasure Studio.
