    Here's some good news realpolitik for you:

    He really fucked up the timiing of this. Romania is looking to join the Schengen agreement and align themselves with the EU, and that entails being seen living up to "certain standards"., including not looking like a corrupt sex trafficing center. Obviously there are pretty much no limits to how corrupt and sex trafficy you can actually be, but at this particular moment in time his bragging about bribing Romanian officials and how easy it is to do sex trafficing in Romania is really bad for him. Him being convicted will help every ruling class ghoul in Romania, and while that doesn't mean that things are good or moving to the left, it does mean that this is a very bad situation for Andrew Tate personally.

        There's still the possibility of the US striking some kind of deal where he pretty much gets off, but there is also an actual possibility of him being used as an example. His wealth is nothing compared to the Romanian oligarchs who want to see him convicted and the US oligarchs could go either way. If the US oligarchs decide that they look better throwing him to the wolves he will face prison time enough to almost satiate this site. So, not to jinx it, but this really could happen.

      does

      These thick characters can be much better than...

      what I usually use - plain old bold and italics.

      How did you make **___**them**___**?

        ***what are you asking, don't you have bold italics already?*** I don't see any difference between what you wrote and what they wrote.
