00:00:00.000Andrew Tate this week was charged with grape and human trafficking.
00:00:04.680So I want to start by saying, do you guys think he's guilty or innocent based on the information you know?
00:00:11.680I don't think I've followed it closely enough to give an accurate answer to that.
00:00:17.760But I feel like in some respects, if you know, this has been under investigation for quite a while.
00:00:23.140He's been under house arrest and stuff like that.
00:00:25.060I do feel like within that time, they probably haven't have had enough time to compile a lot of evidence on that to sort of prove him to be guilty.
00:00:34.940Yeah, it's like it's it's suspicious it's taken this long.
00:00:38.020Right. Right. Exactly. That's my take.
00:00:42.220Actually, I've been following the case a bit closely lately, but I am not in a position to tell whether he's guilty or not.
00:00:51.100But just the the I mean, the charges are a bit non, non, non understandable to me because they said he has been charged for something related to TikTok accounts and making money out of TikToks.
00:01:08.380So this is really, really funny for me.
00:01:12.160So even what is the revenue that would be generated from a TikTok account compared to other businesses?
00:01:20.260Yeah, because initially everyone thought it was from the cam work.
00:01:23.140Yeah. So everyone thought that was what they were accusing them of.
00:01:26.440But now it's coming forward that everything they're accusing them of was in the last year or two.
00:01:31.500Yeah. So and they're saying they're forcing women to to make TikToks and I know I know the payout on TikTok and so you don't make shit on TikTok.
00:01:41.040Yeah, I mean, that's that's a bit tricky for me, for like a government to to to I mean, to charge someone with these kind of charges, basically.
00:01:56.340I think what the majority of the public are forgetting is it's innocent until proven guilty.
00:02:01.940So for me, at this point, he is innocent because he hasn't been proven guilty until they have evidence which shows him doing it.
00:02:10.460It's concrete evidence which shows that he definitely is doing human trafficking and rape.
00:02:15.620That's when I'll change my mind and say, OK, yeah, he's guilty.
00:02:18.200But for now, he's innocent because if we're going by the standard of the law, it's innocent until proven guilty.
00:02:24.000And I think everyone has to remember that. Otherwise, it gets very dangerous and it's definitely a breach of human rights.
00:02:30.920And it's a it's a danger to free speech as well, I think, because if you can just if you don't like what someone's saying and then someone else can go and make an allegation against them and then they get charged and imprisoned for something they didn't even do.
00:02:43.680And they haven't been proved to do. You know, anyone can get imprisoned for just speaking about things that people don't agree with.
00:02:49.700So, yeah, innocent until proven guilty all the way.
00:02:56.620It's tricky because Romania is just notoriously corrupt.
00:03:02.540There's it's inevitable to even come to any other conclusion.
00:03:08.380And when he sees the money from these people, it goes to the politicians and the government.
00:03:13.560And so, you know, he doesn't have the most clean past as well, because like he's done, you know, the cam stuff, you mean, like just the things he's been saying.
00:03:24.760Like he said it when he was a smaller content producer.
00:03:27.300And so I guess that, you know, he wasn't really planning for that to be analyzed by hundreds of millions of people.
00:06:56.300And then she was like, oh, well, I'm being held against my will.
00:07:01.820So the boyfriend called, like, I don't know if he called Interpol or something, but he called some kind of national organization, you know, some kind of police organization.
00:07:12.000And then that was the first round of trouble for the Tates.
00:07:14.620And so, you know, it's just, I don't know, it's just terrible to just look at this whole situation, you know, because, I mean, that's why you don't fuck around with people who have girlfriends.
00:07:25.440Like, you know, like, if she says she's taken, like, just send her back out to the wild.
00:07:30.620And if she's evil enough to betray her boyfriend, she's evil enough to betray you, you know?
00:07:59.220Human trafficking, money laundering, and forming a criminal organization.
00:08:02.960So the criminal organization, I believe, is just, they're saying that Andrew, Tristan, and then their assistants, these four people are technically a criminal group.
00:08:14.600So the thing is, a lot of times when the governments want you to be in trouble, they will kind of, like, throw as many charges that, like, can stick on paper.
00:08:24.380Like, in the state of Florida, if you get caught with marijuana, right, and it's a plastic bag, they'll charge you for the marijuana charge, and then they'll also charge you for drug paraphernalia.
00:08:35.480And drug paraphernalia is the plastic bag that the weed is in, when traditionally drug paraphernalia is like a crack pipe or a heroin needle or something like that.
00:08:43.580So these prosecutors, they try to get as many charges as possible on people to kind of justify the spending that they're getting from the government.
00:08:50.620Be like, look at us, you know, we're locking people up.
00:08:54.540These are the things they've been officially charged with.
00:08:56.660Now, they're still going to go to trial, and they could win trial because I heard that they have a really, from my Romanian lawyer friend, she was telling me that they have a really good lawyer as well.
00:09:04.680So, you know, it's still going to go to trial, and knowing the Tates, you know, they're going to fight tooth and nail.
