Men’s rights activist Andrew Tate, his brother Tristan, and two of their buddies were formally indicted in Romania Tuesday on charges of human trafficking, rape, and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women, CNN reports on the wonderful cherry on top of what was quite possibly the most beautiful ice cream sundae of a self-own in the history of internet shitposting.
It all began in late December when Tate, a former world-class kickboxer turned right wing social media influencer already wanted for questioning by Romanian cops for his abusive relationships with women tweeted “Hello @GretaThunberg I have 33 cars. My Bugatti has a w16 8.0L quad turbo. My TWO Ferrari 812 competizione have 6.5L v12s. This is just the start. Please provide your email address so I can send a complete list of my car collection and their respective enormous emissions,” to which the Swedish climate activist responded “Yes, please do enlighten me. Email me at smalldickenergy@getalife.com,” which, as of this writing has over 3.8 million likes.
Furious over getting punked so viciously, Tate posted a video in which he questioned if all the likes to the response were authentic but the video was a box from a Romanian pizza chain, confirming to prosecutors he was still in the country. He was promptly arrested, spending the next few months in and out of jail, during which at least 15 of cars and other assets whose worth totaled upwards of $4.4 million were seized by officials. At least now he can get back into kickboxing.
