"Iggy is at the top"
@Matt_A_Shea & @JamieTahsin, in their new @bbcthree doc on Andrew Tate, explore the central, creepy role of Miles Sonkin, a former alleged cult member.
We identified and discussed him in our @bellingcat article on @ReachTWR.

My article from earlier in August.
And, spoiler, for everyone interested — including those from Tate's world reading this — there's more to come from us...

Also, there will likely be new charges from a separate ongoing investigation — Romanian authorities are currently investigating allegations of money laundering (did anyone say crypto?), witness intimidation, more human trafficking and — for Tristan Tate — trafficking of minors
Also discussed: another high-ranking War Room leader, Jonathan Bowe, who we identified in our @bellingcat article. He's accused in the doc of grooming a woman into online sex work. He's also currently a pilot for @Delta, who never replied to my request for comment about him.

@bellingcat In the documentary, the alleged victim accuses Bowe of assaulting her.
@Delta, any comment? Is this man still employed with you? Seems to contradict the values espoused on your website.
Image of the day: Miles Sonkin, hiding in an LA hamburger joint and complaining to the serving staff about @Matt_A_Shea and @JamieTahsin, apparently having been unable to hypnotize them into going away
"There was a night that I had gone over there...as soon as I walked in the door he pushed me to my knees and smacked me really hard across the face. He would bruise me pretty badly, kind of marking his territory."
