Influencer Adin Ross said he had one last chance to record content with Andrew Tate. A law firm says the comment tipped off U.K. authorities.

I am shocked that Andrew Tater-Tot would attempt to elude justice. Shocked, I tell you.

How fitting that a racist moron who he considers a friend inadvertently gave him away. Awesome with a side of good riddance.

Something tells me Adin will get Boeing'd not too long after Tate gets out of jail

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

The only good thing Aidin Ross did.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 7 months ago

Being held in captivity is alpha as fuck.

Thank God I'm no alpha.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 7 months ago

Someone on /r/LivestreamFail said it best:

If it's actually true, this just demonstrates that the Tates are not as smart as they like to portray, the idea that you would trust this information to Adin, a guy who is a few IQ points above needing professional help to wipe, is an indictment on their intelligence.

Some context that makes this one of the funniest fucking things I've ever seen:

Adin Ross is a huge fan of Tate, to the point where he has funnelled himself into a shitty content niche trying to emulate him. He worships the guy.

He's also a well known moron who can't think before he speaks, which often lands him in hot water.

Just the 30 second clip of him talking was enough for me to realize he's truly an idiot underneath. Dude can't even read at beyond a basic level. He could barely read the text Andrew sent him out loud correctly.

And his followup comment to that was just to make noise and accomplish nothing.

So yeah, he seems like a complete moron.

Gotta be tearing him up inside that he's the one that caused that.

Let me get this straight.

He got caught the first time because he did a video with a pizza box that gave away his exact location?

Then he does more videos?

I don't know much about this guy, but I wouldn't listen to his advice

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

They used the "enhance" command on his quicktime video

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

He wasn’t hiding his location in the slightest.

LPT for him. If you're doing crimes, hiding is a wonderful idea.

I learned that from Scooby-Doo

- Don't mess with meddling kids.

- Stoners and nerds rule.

I thought the pizza box thing wasn't true because the authorities were already gearing up to nab him when that video aired

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

iirc they didn't know if he was in Romania or not but seeing the pizza box confirmed that he was. Of course they already knew where he lived just not if he was there.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

why wouldn't they have just tracked his phone?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You have heard of 'burner' phones, haven't you?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You think the guy that blabbed about fleeing Romania to Adin Ross has some kind of burner phone rotation system?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Not all crooks are stupid all the time.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You need an exact location to arrest someone.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

And we all know that exact locations can only be obtained through pizza box identification methods, or PBIM for short.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

If it's a unique looking pizza box that is only sold in a certain city/town of Romania, then maybe.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

So great, now you have the town and the surrounding towns.

What's next?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

You would probably have to get with the Romanian police to figure out what they did.

If you want to keep talking about nonsense then let's look out their window while noticing the time of day that they are streaming. Then we can do "math" and figure the angle of the sun and what streets it could and couldn't be on. Then we can can call those pizza shops that deliver to those streets and ask if they had a recent order. Around the same time as the stream. Actually maybe just that last part would work....
