greta is cool, tate sounds like he needs trial and a noose, her tweet was merely haha, the fact that i am now aware of any of this shit is another sign of end times. people who care about this incident aside from greta are not serious people and as a not serious person, i know about this.
nb i am not talking about tate's detention that is simply encouraging almost-news.

I have a 10 year old nephew who is into Andrew Tate. he is a really sweet boy though and likely only really understands some of the fast car stuff. his Mom has no idea who that is. but he's absolutely not someone I would want him watching because that age is prime time for bad ideas about women forming in your head.

the pizza box thing is obviously true romanian cops are just doing typical cop shit
― lag∞n, Friday, 30 December 2022 19:05 (one year ago) link
actually we were doing a super serious investigation on the whole time we just happened to arrest him right after he reveled his location

Supposedly it's a detainment and not an outright arrest
Yeah, downside of all of this is million more eyes will be on his tweets going forward, and now he’s a household name.

yea people are trying to disprove the pizza box thing by saying they knew he was in Romania the whole time, but if they were doing an investigation wouldn't this video tip them off to his exact whereabouts? idk I kinda think this may be true

Can you explain what the benefit is in lying about the pizza box thing?
― jmm, Friday, 30 December 2022 19:28 (one year ago) link
How does the box reveal his exact whereabouts? That pizza chain has locations all over Romania

Cops will always lie to make themselves seem smarter. "We were searching for him the whole time — a months-long investigation! The timing of this arrest is pure coincidence! no one else had anything to do with it — it was all us! Fuck off!"

As US intelligence agencies are constantly saying, secrecy and lies are needed in order not to compromise "sources and methods". (Yah, that's the stuff.)

they've been investigating him since april when they raided him for the first time after getting a tip off from the americans. they just wanted to time the raid when they knew he was in the country so they could get him, and said that social media was part of how they knew, so the pizza video was very possibly a factor but probably not anywhere near as decisive as some are claiming. it's still funny though
― ufo, Friday, 30 December 2022 19:35 (one year ago) link
it doesn't seem like they've been searching for him for months - they know where he lives and raided him before - they were just ready to make a move now and wanted to make sure he'd be there instead of in dubai or wherever

maybe not the box but its plausible that the background of the shot was a location they recognized so by posting it he tipped off where exactly he was. same basic story just one less funny detail
― frogbs, Friday, 30 December 2022 19:38 (one year ago) link
no it was the box
― mark s, Friday, 30 December 2022 19:39 (one year ago) link
I just don’t think the laugh from the world sharing the news is worth the guy becoming a household name, unless he ends up locked up and offline for years to come.
― The self-titled drags (Eazy), Friday, 30 December 2022 19:39 (one year ago) link
two data points the pizza locations and the places he stays in in romania, two of them are close to each other so they go look at the house and there he is, not to mention that maybe they didnt even know he was in the country at all before
― lag∞n, Friday, 30 December 2022 19:43 (one year ago) link
I'm gonna call something similar to the "rule of cool" you use in the NBA and NFL, it's very plausible and incredibly hilarious, plus we'll never know the real answer, so let's just say that's what happened

he already was a big name though, he's scarily popular among teen/preteen boys. had been a name mostly in mra/far-right circles for years but really blew up on tiktok earlier this year

― normal AI yankovic (Hunt3r), Friday, 30 December 2022 19:51 (one year ago) link
hopefully the truth will come out (that he was caught because of the pizza) in the course of the legal proceedings
― lag∞n, Friday, 30 December 2022 19:51 (one year ago) link
I suspect that if he gets convicted of human trafficking and lives the rest of his life in a Romanian prison, that won't actually give his brand a boost
― Muad'Doob (Moodles), Friday, 30 December 2022 19:54 (one year ago) link
The rumor I believe is that he lost his protection from the Cămătarilor clan (they are one of the families that runs prostitution and gambling in Bucharest) because of the publicity.

Romania is not Schengen. They know when a non citizen is in the country.

he did brag a bunch about being protected and bribing the police, which is not that great of a thing to broadcast to your millions of followers, the police might get embarrassed at some point
― lag∞n, Friday, 30 December 2022 20:08 (one year ago) link
For sure. He was (and as far as I know from what I’ve read) was staying at Ion Balint‘s compound (who I believe is or was in prison).

if theyre paying attention i mean if they really cared so much they couldve just intercepted him at the border
― lag∞n, Friday, 30 December 2022 20:10 (one year ago) link
IIUC their story is they gathered enough evidence, then confirmed his location. I assume they checked social media when doing that, but Romania is not a preindustrial country. They probably also phoned the border people.
― 𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Friday, 30 December 2022 20:15 (one year ago) link
they couldve just flagged him to be held at the border if they wanted but instead they arrested him soon after he made the pizza video
― lag∞n, Friday, 30 December 2022 20:18 (one year ago) link
seems pretty obvious they didnt know he was there and are lying about it because theyre cops
― lag∞n, Friday, 30 December 2022 20:20 (one year ago) link
He’s been in the country for weeks on this trip hasn't he? He is a very prominent resident/visitor whose home address is known to hundreds of people. They don’t need a social post. I don’t mean to defend cops but a lot of what I see on social media seems to treat Romania as a bit of a joke.

romania could be a joke idk much about it but the fact remains the cops did arrest him directly after he posted a very high profile video containing location information
― lag∞n, Friday, 30 December 2022 20:33 (one year ago) link

yeah and again theyve already raided the home once before. there are a few easier more obvious ways for a militarized police force to determine if he's home than keeping track of twitter clapbacks and triangulating his location based on nearby pizza franchises. twitter addicts once again assuming the entire world as obsessed w/twitter as they are.
