Others blamed “the Matrix” for setting him up. This was fuelled by Tate himself in a tweet posted after news of his arrest: “The Matrix sent their agents,” he wrote on Friday. In late December, police arrested Tate and the others accused after a monthslong investigation. Romanian authorities said six people have been identified who were “sexually exploited” by the group of people charged, and that, “an injured person was forced, on two different occasions, by a suspect through the exercise of physical violence and psychological pressure to have sexual relations.” Authorities did not specify which suspect they were referring to.

Another post, from Saturday, read: "Going to jail when guilty of a crime is the life story of a criminal ... going to jail when completely innocent is the story of a hero."

When will Andrew Tate get out of prison?

In another archived YouTube video that was posted to his channel, Tate bragged that he created restrictions and rules for the women who worked for him. Romanian authorities said that women recruited by Tate’s organization were transported to and housed in Romania, where “by exercising acts of physical violence and mental coercion (through intimidation, constant surveillance, control and invoking alleged debts),” they were allegedly forced to perform for Tate’s webcam sex business. With the appeals court upholding the arrest warrant extension, prosecutors can now request detentions of up to 180 days for the four people charged.

Since the release of the 1999 sci-fi film about people living in a simulation, where a man is given the choice to take a red pill and “wake up”, the metaphor has been repeatedly repurposed in a range of conspiracy theories, as well by fringe online groups who use “redpill” to mean men waking up to the “reality” that feminism subjugates them. A document explaining an earlier decision to keep them in jail said the judge took into account the “particular dangerousness of the defendants” and their capacity to identify victims “with an increased vulnerability, in search of better life opportunities.” It is the third separate appeal the brothers have lost against decisions to extend their detention while investigations continue. All four will now remain in jail until at least March 29, Bolla said. Notably, Tate has often been criticized for his ‘misogynistic’ and ‘hateful’ comments toward women. As a result, a lot of people are rejoicing the fact that Tate is in jail. However, others like Joe Rogan and Dave Portnoy believe that people should refrain from “ hoping for people to be victimized.“ The agency said victims were lured with pretences of love and later intimidated, placed under surveillance and subjected to other control tactics while being coerced into engaging in pornographic acts for the financial gain of the crime group.A spokesperson for Tate told the 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." In addition to moving from the U.K. to Romania to conduct his business, Tate has said he evaded past accusations of rape and physical abuse and punishing women for accusing him of misconduct. In recent years, toxic masculinity has become a booming industry — filled with ridiculous figures and ridiculous sales pitches — and a political movement.
