A federal judge called BS on Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate in a blistering order denying bail and requiring both to remain in jail pending extradition on 59 sexual assault and related charges in the United Kingdom.
We’ve been following developments and resurfacing disturbing connections to Donald Trump and his family since the arrests of Andrew and Tristan Tate last month.
When last we left the brothers, Andrew Tate was blurting out a steady stream of persecution complex patter, bizarre slam poetry-esque ranting, and unintentionally hilarious Jack Handey-style Deep Thoughts, and thanking the one guy who showed up to lend moral support outside the jail while his lawyers argued that the brothers are too famous to flee and the Trumps were not returning his calls.
Tate Brothers attorney Joseph McBride showed up at a rally last month and was still name-checking Donald Trump in his quest to pressure the administration into freeing his clients.
But the brothers Tate were dealt a major blow recently when Federal Magistrate Judge Lauren Louis denied bail and ruled the pair will have to remain in jail until their extradition proceeding is complete. That could take as much as a year or more.
Judge Louis’s order also revealed new details from the Tates’ testimony at an August 27, 2026 detention and bail hearing, and debunked many of the clais they have been making both in court and in public.
For example, the judge called BS on the claim that the brothers aren’t a flight risk because their professed wealth is “attributable to the characters they play online but are vastly exaggerated (or outright false). Emory [Andrew] Tate additionally advanced evidence that social media posts boasting about his willingness and ability to evade law enforcement are just the “hyperbole” that Respondents disseminate in their capacity as public-facing figures selling an image.”
The filing reveals that the brothers responded rather emphatically about how full of shit they are about their wealth, but the judge was unimpressed:
Crediting Respondents’ argument that they are not billionaires does little to dispel the concerns, presumptively in place, that they constitute quintessential flight risks with the capacity to flee. While Respondents may not in fact possess what extravagant holdings they portray themselves as possessing online, the record reflects that they possess an exceptional capacity to flee the jurisdiction.
The judge also used the Tates’ own words against them in determining flight risk:
Emory [Andrew] Tate exhorted that one must amass multiple passports, explaining that it is no longer possible to live “off the grid” but rather, that one should seek to live on as many grids as possible; he very specifically describes how he has passed himself off to various law enforcement agencies using identification documents issued by different countries as a method of evading law enforcement.
The order also revealed that their complaints about losing weight due to hunger were, I believe the legal term here is… crap. Turns out they gained weight:
Respondents also gave testimony that they had lost substantial weight in their time in detention. The Government, during its presentation, proffered that Respondents’ weight had been taken and that neither weighed any less than when he was first booked at FDC-Miami; in fact, both 7 Respondent Tristan testified on direct that he had obtained access to FDC-Miami’s commissary since the filing of the instant Motion. Case 1:26-mj-03260-LFL Document 64 Entered on FLSD Docket 09/09/2026 Page 25 of 30 26 have gained insignificant weight since entering FDC-Miami. Having viewed Respondents shortly after their arrest in the courtroom, see (ECF No. 10), neither appeared to have lost any significant, i.e., visible amount of weight since they first appeared before the Court
Prosecutors also responded to the starvation charge with some hilariously detailed commissary receipts.
These receipts are making me hungry.
The denial and the order exposing these damning details haven’t slowed Andrew Tate’s complaining down one bit, including this bit of curious philosophizing:
None of the Epstein list is in jail. But I am.
It’s a start.

The sooner this manosphere era is over, the better.
When we take over the Senate and House in January it would be great to see Barron called to testify under oath since he is such a good buddy to the Tate brothers.
