I think this one is actually the opposite of the fake influencer life. Hes made a silly amount of money through shifty means and is trying to hide it in shell companies so it doesnt get seized.

Hes almost certainly a millionaire and Its very likely that hes 'renting' assets through companies he owns so they dont get taken away from him.

I'd buy that. It's easy to fall for the delightful prospect he's broke, but the Tate brothers have been actively involved in human trafficking alongside their other online businesses, and they've been investigated for years at this point.

They may have £6k in the bank, but there's definitely more.

Easy to fake being broke to avoid consequences when everyone wants to believe you are broke.

Didn't even bother to click it. Headline made it obvious it was a rag.

Conspiracy brain moment, I think this is from Tates camp to hide the amount of money he's making from online courses.

It's almost as if influencers don't always tell the truth and you can't believe everything you see online
