British authorities have seized a £180,000 ($240,000) deposit that influencer Andrew Tate paid toward an Aston Martin Valhalla, ruling that the money originated from illicit activity. The forfeiture, carried out under the Proceeds of Crime Act, follows the December 2024 confiscation of £2.7 million from Tate and his brother Tristan after a civil fraud case found them to be serial tax evaders.

Court documents show the deposit was made in July 2021 from a Coinbase cryptocurrency account. Prosecutors argued the account contained assets purchased with revenue from the brothers’ online ventures, including Hustlers University, War Room, Cobra Tate, and adult content schemes—on which neither tax nor VAT had been paid. Devon and Cornwall Police obtained the forfeiture order at Westminster Magistrates’ Court; the Tates did not contest the action. Police confirmed half the seized sum will go to public services and the remainder to "good causes" such as crime prevention initiatives.

A police statement said a London court was told the payment "were the proceeds of tax and VAT evasion and money laundering." Judge Paul Goldspring, who presided over both the earlier and latest rulings, stated last year that the pair had "engaged in long-standing conduct to evade their tax," describing their approach as a "straightforward cheat of the revenue."

The December 2024 judgment also detailed how the brothers used an associate, identified only as "J", to move millions, with nearly $12 million shifted into her accounts to conceal the source of funds. Investigators estimate the Tates generated around £21 million from 2014 to 2022 through these ventures while living in England, with Andrew Tate publicly declaring in a video: "When I lived in England I refused to pay tax."

Tate, who has cultivated a controversial online persona combining ostentatious displays of wealth with what critics call "toxic masculinity," claimed on X earlier this month that he owns 93 cars. The British-US nationals relocated to Romania after Tate’s stint in reality TV and his webcam business. They are currently fighting multiple legal battles: in Romania, allegations of trafficking minors, sexual intercourse with a minor, and money laundering; in the UK, a civil case accusing them of rape and assault, set for trial in June 2026. Both deny all accusations.
