    Thanks for sharing that, I admit I’m not a fan of Greta, but this story continues to warm the cockles of my heart (except for the fact this guy got away with his crimes for a time).

    to me, the word influencer is short for "self absorbed, shallow, attention seeking, vapid person".

    I checked out his website and it was like POOTWH’s POOTWH University. I laughed out loud. A fool and their money are soon parted and a sucker is born every minute.

    What morals do you need to talk about what you think is the way to go on things?  That's all an influencer does.  Are their shady ones?  Sure.  I wouldn't be doing the shady stuff.  I'd talk about what I think would make money...

    EDIT:  I needed to mention that even though I'd love to be an influencer I openly say don't listen to them, lol.

    "self absorbed, shallow, attention seeking, [&] vapid " aren't characteristics that I find admirable or something to strive towards in life regardless of the success it might bring. 

    I guess I still believe in shame.

    Influencer to me is another form of consulting.  Yes one can be self absorbed as you point out or you can be a consultant and influence too.  You don't have to have all the negatives attached to them.  Try looking at it that way.

    Divisive influencer Tate loses appeal against asset seizures
    By NICOLAE DUMITRACHE AND STEPHEN McGRATH
    Today

    BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) — A court in Romania’s capital Bucharest has rejected an appeal by the divisive social media personality Andrew Tate against asset seizures by prosecutors who are investigating him on charges of being part of an organized crime group and human trafficking, an official said Wednesday.

    Tate, 36, a British-U.S. citizen who has 4.5 million followers on Twitter, was detained on Dec. 29. in Bucharest along with his brother Tristan and two Romanian women. On Tuesday, a court upheld a judge’s Dec. 30 move to extend their arrest from 24 hours to 30 days.

    In a separate hearing Wednesday at the Bucharest Tribunal, Tate lost an appeal that challenged assets seized by prosecutors, including properties and a fleet of luxury cars, said Ramona Bolla, a spokesperson for Romanian anti-organized crime agency DIICOT.

    The court “decided that the seizures are legal and (that) the goods remain at our disposal," she told The Associated Press.

    Prosecutors investigating the case have so far seized 15 luxury cars — 11 in December raids and four last week — at least seven of which are owned by the Tate brothers, and more than 10 properties and land owned by companies registered to them. Bolla said is not clear whether any assets seized since December were included in Wednesday's appeal.

    If prosecutors can prove the Tates gained money through human trafficking, Bolla said that the assets could be used to cover the expenses of the investigation and compensation for victims.

    Before the court ruling Wednesday Constantin Gliga, one of the lawyers representing Tate, told the media that the asset seizures are disproportional to the charges.

    DIICOT said it has identified six victims in the human trafficking case who were subjected to “acts of physical violence and mental coercion” and were sexually exploited by the members of the alleged crime group.

    The agency said victims were lured by pretenses of love, and later intimidated, kept under surveillance and subjected to other control tactics while being coerced into performing in pornography that was intended to make money for their alleged persecutors.

    Tate, a former professional kickboxer who has reportedly lived in Romania since 2017, was previously banned from various prominent social media platforms for expressing misogynistic views and hate speech.
