For those of you who follow the value of Bitcoin, that works out as nearly $400 million that [the authorities] say they want to seize from the Tate brothers."

Andrew Tate believes he is being used to draw attention away from sexual predators in the mainsteam media

Andrew Tate believes that he has been targeted by the mainstream media, which he calls 'The Matrix', as a way to distract the public from number of sexual predators being ousted from the media themselves.

Several weeks ago, well-known British TV presenter Phillip Schofield admitted to having a sexual relationship with a theater student who began working at ITV alongside Schofield. He has been accused of grooming his colleague, who was more than thirty years younger than him.

Andrew Tate mentioned the Phillip Schofield-saga during his video, claiming that he is being used as a distraction:

"It's quite interesting that they're attacking me and attempting to vilify me at the exact same time where as real predators who work for the media establishment are being ousted. It's really interesting to do a juxtaposition and comparison between how they will treat Phillip Schofield, who is confirmed as a groomer, who is admitting that he committed sexual crimes, and how they'll treat me..."
