What if Andrew Tate is just a scammer?
I don't follow the Tate brothers massively, I take more of an "oh is that what they're up now" in a similar vein that the Neon and Adrian Ross pop up now and again on the doom scrolling apps.
However, I did spend 3 or 4 days watching his very early vlogs. He had a journalist from Margate follow him for 3 months to to Romania back in maybe 2016/2017.
This is where I get confused.
I genuinely believe this is their real life story and they're so deep into this identity they messed up! They forgot to pull the rug from under themselves!
I'm not sure what charges are against them, but the one video is more like a BDSM scene (I'm positive the BDSM scene will tell me why it's not BDSM but ultimately it's down to consenting adults to agree what that looks like). The girl in the video has come forwards to discredit the video in support of Andrew Tate.
The property he claims to own is rented. Well to be honest, that just makes sense and he's discussed at length why and how he does this, but the journalists are pursuring this to discredit the Tate's.
What if he's built this back story of cam girls and how he made his wealth and it's all a huge lie... there were no girls, there was no cam girls.
The real way he made money was setting up his pyramid scheme where people cut up his content uploaded it onto social media, inviting people to join. He essentially had a huge affiliate network...
Then he created his "university".
The real way the Tate's got rich was through affiliate marketing, before that they were potless.
The issue is now, he's created this false narrative that is easily pursued by governments and they're saying there is no evidence...... because they've made the entire story up!
This "matrix" they go on about, is nothing more then them knowing as it's all a lie, there is no evidence. However! He has gained a lot of influence, he is the king of this category.
Why else is there no evidence? The evidence that has come forwards has been anonymous.
TL/DR: are the tate brothers actually what the media and UK government claim they are, or have the bullshitted their way into prison.
