- They were both detained for 24 hours

- A few more addresses are targeted
"Romanian authorities needed proof that Andrew Tate was in the country so they reportedly used his social media posts. His ridiculous video yesterday featured a pizza from a Romanian pizza chain, Jerry's Pizza, confirming he was in the country."
This is the video that apparently got him arrested 🤦♂️
Spokesperson for Tate told Daily Mirror: "We cannot provide any details at the moment regarding alleged reports that they have been detained; however, Andrew and Tristan Tate have the utmost respect for the Romanian authorities and will always assist and help in any way they can"
DIICOT say in a statement that at least 6 victims had come forward to allege they were trafficked by Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate.
They say they were kept captive in houses, where they were sexually assaulted and forced to produce pornography under threats of physical violence.

The Tate brothers are currently at a hearing. The prosecutors have requested a 30 day detention.
The judge will assess the evidence and deem whether it is strong enough to file for the extension.
Decision should be soon.
Live Thread 👇
Legal opinion: I expect the judge to approve prosecutor's request. If they didn't have enough evidence in the first place, the prosecutor would have never arrested them yesterday, so my guess is that they have something solid against him.
The Romanian press are going all out now, this headline just came out:
THE TATE BROTHERS = MANSION, VILLAS, PRIVATE JET AND A FABULOUS MULTI-MILLION EURO GARAGE. THEY AMASSED A PHARAONIC FORTUNE FROM SEXUAL SLAVERY
1. In April, Romanian authorities found two young women (one was American) in a villa, who claimed they were held by force by the Tates. The brothers were questioned at DIICOT for 5 hours & then released. The investigation continued 👇
2. Ongoing investigation for 8 months with multiple suspects
3. After collecting enough evidence, authorities detained the Tate brothers in Romania on charges of human trafficking, rape and forming an organised crime group, authorities confirmed.
What's next?
- Today more info will be released by the Romanian authorities
- Arrest will likely be prolonged by 30 days a few times (max is 180 days) as the investigation continues
🚨FINAL revelations on FTX now live on stage. Results from multi-month investigation
Writing the thread as I listen to the whistleblowers now on the space 👇
- We got screwed on Japan's Liquid Exchange (owned by FTX), and since we have superior tech with our sophisticated AI, this triggered our investigation
- Alameda dumped our tokens that were meant for market making instead of sustaining our price
- We complained to Caroline directly, and she was not "intellectually competent" to understand and she forwarded the inquiry to Daniel Friedberg
- Dan is a significant stakeholder and a much bigger player in the FTX collapse, and not only a chief compliance officer
Do you think SBF told the truth today at the Dealbook summit?
Here's a summary of what he said to help you make up your mind
(a thread)
- "I made a lot of mistakes, never tried to commit fraud"
- U.S platforms is fully funded, I believe withdrawals could be opened today
- FTX could have margin call positions, but it didn't do so, in massive failure of oversight
- "i was not running Alameda, I didn't know the size of their position" at FTX
- Position size of Alameda at FTX became larger over the course of 2022
- FTX didn't had bank accounts globally in 2018-19 and relied on Alameda to receive client money and FTX credited clients
🚨What was FTX planning to do with a small rural US-based bank?
While everyone’s excited for SBF coming on the show, you probably missed our MAJOR interview/investigation that happened on the space 2 days ago!

The bankruptcy proceedings of FTX reveal even more ground shaking details
This is becoming a show we no longer want to go on
In March this year Alameda Research invested in Farmington State Bank (FBS), now renamed Moonstone, in the state of Washington.
The bank was first formed in 1929 in a sleepy town named Farmington, hugging the Idaho border. It’s home to just over 100 residents, and features ZERO restaurants, hotels, or pharmacies — it doesn’t even have an ATM!
