Yeah, so Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan made their fortune in webcam pornography.
This was something they struck on at the end of careers as international kickboxers.
They realised they weren't going to make big money in that sport and so they set about figuring out how to make a quick buck and alighted on the idea that they could persuade their girlfriends to perform online for them.
as webcam pornography workers.
And this was the starting point of what became a massive empire of online sexual exploitation.
And they made a point of keeping the money these women made and using all sorts of pretty sophisticated and carefully calculated methods to control these women, to isolate them from their friends and family.
And that was the way they made the money that they then parlayed into this huge online phenomenon.
The very first webcam worker that Andrew Tate recruited was a Slovakian teenager.
She was actually 15 years old when he met her and was only 17 years old when he persuaded her to work for him online.
online making webcam pornography.
And it is illegal in the UK where this happened and also in the US to make indecent images of a child.
But what the Tate's did was create a profile for her in which she was portrayed as a Russian woman in her 20s.
There are videos still online of her working for them, which are very extreme and very, very violent.
And that was happening when she was still underage.
Absolutely.
When they moved their webcam pornography business to Romania, which they did after they were accused by three women in the UK of rape and strangulation, they actually set up what was a pretty industrialized operation to recruit women online through dating apps, through social media platforms.
firing out dozens of messages each day to potential targets and then kind of romancing them.
And as their operation got bigger and more successful, and I think as they became more brazen, they very deliberately targeted teenage girls.
And this is something that they spoke about with their followers because they established an online men's network called The War Room, where they actually taught other men how to recruit women in order to exploit them and make money from them online in this way.
And they talked explicitly about targeting teenagers, targeting virgins, having parties at their compound where they invited 16-year-old girls and attempted to recruit them to webcam work.
