What to know about the Tate brothers arrested in Miami as UK seeks extradition

Manosphere influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate were arrested in Miami on Saturday after being hit with new human and sex trafficking charges, bringing national attention back to the brothers.

The influencers are two of the most controversial figures on the internet today, with legions of fans and detractors. They’ve made a name for themselves by giving polarizing financial, lifestyle, and romantic advice to a largely young and male audience. Before their internet fame, they made a fortune running a webcam pornography business, wealth they used to help boost their online presence. It’s from this webcam business that the most recent charges stem, including accusations of rape, sex trafficking, and child pornography.
