What Is Andrew Tate's Business & Why Was He Arrested?

Andrew Tate is an entrepreneur and businessman who has made quite a name for himself in the online and digital space over the last year.

He is best known for his controversial views on topics like women and mental health which led to social media platforms banning him, however he is also known for founding and running the website and mobile app called Hustlers University aka HU.

HU has since been renamed. Popular review site NoBSIMReviews explains that The Real World is a rebrand and update of HU that runs on it’s own servers so it doesn’t have to rely on discord, meaning it cannot be shutdown in theory.

Although they have had to move domain names after the AI domain name got shut down.

The brothers and their associates were said to use a range of social media techniques to find and recruit victims. The site and app would also offer members and other criminals and traffickers a way to transact and launder money.

The brothers were arrested and detained while the investigation continues although Tate continues to claim he is innocent and this is nothing more than a matrix attack. Their case is still ongoing and no further information has been released. It remains to be seen what the outcome of this trial will be.
