    The fact he was arrested because of a ‘look at how alpha i am’ tweet to Greta Thunberg makes this so much sweeter

      Andrew Tate is the one who said “you looked hotter years ago” meaning when she was about 15 or 16, right?

        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.

        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.

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

      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.
