Wow didn't know he had a brother, let alone one that is seemingly closely involved with the antics. The thread with Greta on twitter makes him look like such a "rude and unintelligent" person. Have only heard about this guy through coffeezilla so would recommend anyone not familiar with Tate start there

Fun fact: the Romanian police allegedly figured out he was in Romania from the video response Tate did to Greta Thumberg's response to his tweet, because the video featured a pizza box from a Romanian pizza chain.

Allow me to doubt that.

According to Wikipedia:

he had already been arrested in April, and it is more likely that the Romanian Police have other means to find out his location, or they simply entered his villa and found him there.

But he's not constantly in Romania. Like, he was in the UK recently, with Piers Morgan.

My source, FWIW: https://mobile.twitter.com/Esqueer_/status/16085800522200145...

Sure, but my skepticism is only about the fact that the Romanian Police got the info analysing the twitter video, as said they should have better means to know if someone is or is not in the country, particularly if already subject of an investigation.

Another skeptic (only for the record):

it seems like the only source for the pizza box thingy is this tweet by Alejandra Caraballo (and her source is not clear at all).

I am seriously wondering what all of this is doing to twitter servers right now.
