Summary

A U.K. court ruled police can seize $3.3 million in frozen assets from Andrew and Tristan Tate over unpaid taxes.

The funds, held in seven bank accounts, stem from $26.5 million in revenue allegedly earned tax-free from their online businesses.

Chief Magistrate Paul Goldspring called their actions a “straightforward cheat” to evade taxes, while Tate labeled the ruling “outright theft” and a “coordinated attack.”

The brothers, already under house arrest in Romania for human trafficking charges, face additional allegations in the U.K. They deny all accusations.

    The $3 mil is cool, but I’m most delighted that CBS News put “misogynist influencer Andrew Tate” in a headline.

      Would have been more accurate if they included “rapist” in there, but y’know… big fucking quotations “allegedly”.

      Garbage belongs in the trash. Looks like I’ll still be waiting for someone to take it out.
