Former kickboxing champion and Big Brother star Andrew Tate has been arrested in Romania on suspicion of money laundering. Tate’s luxurious villa in Pipera, Voluntari, on the outskirts of Bucharest was raided by police as part of the investigation. His brother Tristan and two other individuals, one believed to be a former police officer, were also arrested and detained for 24 hours. Prosecutors have requested to extend Tate’s arrest by 30 days.

Tate’s Lavish Lifestyle and Controversial “Hustler’s Academy”

Tate is known for displaying his extravagant lifestyle on social media, including a collection of 33 supercars and a chessboard dedicated to his father, an international Master. He runs the “Hustler’s Academy,” which offers tips on “escaping the matrix” to its 127,000 paying customers. Although Tate is not directly involved in teaching at the academy, there are many “qualified” individuals who teach topics such as drop shipping, stocks, and cryptocurrency. The academy has been described as a scam by some, while others have refrained from making such accusations.

Many were shocked to find out that Hustlers Academy campus was on a Discord server and labelled Tate fans as “gullible” and “brainwashed” for paying 50$ per month to be a part of it while many applauded Tate for his “genius” business model. It is surprising to both critics and fans as to just how popular Hustlers University is despite having minimal efforts put behind it.

Previous Investigation and Online Spat with Greta Thunberg

In April, Tate and his brother were investigated for allegedly holding two girls against their will and were released while the investigation continued. These claims seem to have been unfounded and the investigations were halted promptly.

Recently, Tate attracted media attention for his online altercation with climate activist Greta Thunberg. The spat began when Tate made jokes about his 33 cars and their emissions in a childish rant, to which Thunberg responded from an email account named “smalldickenergy@getalife.com.” Critics have labelled Thunberg’s response as “misandrist” and “body shaming.”

Andrew Tate’s arrest has garnered significant attention on social media and in the press, with many people expressing shock and disbelief at the news. Some have defended Tate, claiming that he is being targeted by authorities because of his success and high profile. Others have called for justice to be served and for the full extent of Tate’s alleged “crimes” to be brought to light. The investigation into Tate’s activities is ongoing, and it remains to be seen how the case will ultimately be resolved.
