Dozens of American and British teenagers traveled to Andrew Tate’s swanky Romanian compound to visit his “Hustlers University” – which has reportedly been added to Google Maps so they don’t get lost.
Neighbors to the controversial influencer’s sprawling high-security compound told the Times of London that hordes of 18- and 19-year-old men turned up over the summer where women worked around the clock producing porn videos.
“Groups came three or four times a week, sometimes three taxis a day,” said a neighbor of the Mecca of misogyny, which outside of the capital Bucharest offered alleged get-rich-quick guides.
“They were young men. They say they went to Hustlers University,” the local said.

A neighbor also said: “They would get lost asking how to find Hustlers University. I don’t know what they were doing inside.”
The location was eventually added to Google Maps so taxi drivers could find it, according to the Times.
Tate, a 36-year-old former world kickboxing champion and Britain’s “Big Brother” contestant, was arrested on Thursday for allegedly leading an “organized crime group” that trafficked women and forced them to create porn “acting on specialized websites”. Costs.”

The women were reportedly being held under “house arrest,” with videos of one victim suspected of taking nearly $55,000 a month while getting nothing.
Tate reportedly said that the women kept 80% to 85% of the earnings from their videos and that “most girls eventually became multi-millionaires.”
Tate was arrested along with his brother Tristan, 34, and two suspected accomplices in a raid on the compound that allegedly seized cash and weapons.

Neighbors said at least eight to 10 women appeared in videos during rotating shifts inside.
“You could see the women inside working on the video cameras,” a neighbor said. “There were women there 24 hours a day.”
The number of women reportedly fell after police raided the site in April.

Tate bought the building in 2016 for around £180,000 or about $217,000, neighbors said.
The controversial social media figure – who has been dubbed the “king of toxic manhood” – reportedly had annexes built and also bought an adjacent property over the summer.
As well as rumored to house the crooked porn operation, the converted warehouse reportedly serves as Tate’s home and private gym, and is registered as a shooting range where guards can carry guns.

Two security guards were stationed there on Sunday, and surveillance cameras were visible around the building, according to the Times.
Several luxury cars — including an Aston Martin Vanquish and a Porsche 911 — were parked outside.
Some of the more expensive rides had British vanities beginning with “T8”.

Tate’s Hustlers University 3.0 website claims it has more than 168,000 members who pay $49 a month to learn how to make money online.
It also said the cost will rise to $147 a month after 170,000 people signed up to get-rich-quick schemes.
“As a student at Hustlers University, YOU no longer have an excuse to live the life of a slave. No excuse for not making money consistently. Not a single one,” it says.

At the time of their arrest, the Tate brothers were preparing for a New Year’s Eve party at a 48-room mansion in the mountain village of Comarnic, about 80 miles north of Bucharest, a friend told the Times.
They reportedly bought the century-old mansion about a year ago after it had been modernized to include underground parking and a swimming pool.
Neighbors said household workers told them the place belonged to a “famous American athlete.”

Andrew Tate, a former kickboxing champion and disgraced contestant on British TV show ‘Big Brother’, was banned from Twitter after saying women should have ‘some responsibility’ for rape, but his account has been restored after Elon Musk bought the site.
Tate also reportedly said that “40% of the reasons I moved to Romania were because the rape laws are more lenient there.
“I’m not a fucking rapist, but I like the idea of being able to just do whatever I want,” he added.

Defense attorney Eugen Vidineac said last week’s criminal allegations involved videos posted on TikTok and OnlyFans, a subscription site widely shared by sex workers.
Vidineac also said the Tates had been “in and out of Romania and in contact with the police and prosecutors” since the April raid.
They will be held in jail for at least 30 days but plan to appeal this week to be released, Vidineac said.
“They deny the allegations and want to cooperate with the prosecutor’s office and declare their innocence,” he said. “They deny any exploitation of women.”
