Lollll I absolutely love that it was because of Greta Thunberg that he got caught.

Here's a quote from an article:

On Tuesday, Mr Tate, a former kickboxer and influencer who has been banned from numerous social media services for violent and misogynistic rhetoric, tagged Ms Thunberg in a Twitter post, asking for her email address so he could “send a complete list of my car collection and their respective enormous emissions”.

The tweet also featured Mr Tate filling up a gas-guzzling Bugatti supercar at the pump.

The following day, the climate activist responded with a tweet of her own, replying, “Yes, please do enlighten me. email me at [email protected].”

He then took a picture of himself with a pizza box, which then led the Romanian authorities to where he was hiding, and was arrested.

Fuck yeah.
