Other Ventures
With his brother, Tate ran a fraudulent webcam business that involved numerous webcam models selling “fake sob stories” to male callers. The brothers claimed to have made millions of dollars through the scam. Additionally, the Tates own casinos in Romania.
Arrest and Detainment
In late 2022, Tate, his brother Andrew, and two women were arrested in Romania on suspicion of human trafficking and forming an organized crime ring. Earlier in the year, an investigation had been launched into their activities after women were found captive in the Tate brothers’ home and webcam studio. Romanian police later claimed that the brothers and their accomplices had coerced victims into producing paid pornography for social media. Consequently, the Tates were detained and 29 assets were seized, including 15 cars, more than ten properties, and large sums of money.
The detention of the Tates was prolonged a number of times by Romanian courts throughout early 2023. Eventually, on the last day of March, the brothers were placed on house arrest, effective until the end of April. Prosecutors announced that they had until the end of June to send the case to trial. If convicted, the Tate brothers will have their millions-of-dollars worth of assets forfeited to the state and used to pay civil and moral damages to their victims.
Personal Life
Tate was previously in a relationship with Romanian model and television presenter Bianca Dragusanu, who began dating him while she was still married to her husband Victor Slav. Eventually, Dragusanu got divorced so she could continue dating Tate. However, the pair ultimately ended their affair in 2018.
