      Massively popular influencer who bragged about sex trafficking, avoiding taxes with crypto, and had courses on how to become a sex trafficker. He talks about women as if they’re literal property, and brags about using coercion to exploit women into sex work, and using fraud to take their money. That’s the legal definition of sex trafficking.

      He moved to a county where he bragged that he can’t be touched because it’s so corrupt and he can just pay them off. Said country arrested him and charged him with the crimes he openly articulated committing, and a little rape for the cherry on top.

      His popularity cannot be overstated. He had 25 million people watching his stream at one time. That’s like Super Bowl numbers. His fans are a cult. He redpilled millions of incels and insecure teenagers.

      Here’s a legal breakdown:

      Obviously investigators would have additional evidence.

      He’s a self-help guru who primarily targets young men and is notable for being comically misogynistic and essentially equating women to inanimate objects. Unfortunately, he has a huge cult following in spite or maybe even because of this.
