History

Historical Context

After the 2008 collapse of Bernard Madoff’s $65 billion Ponzi scheme—uncovered when the FBI arrested him on Dec 11, 2008 and later sentenced him to 150 years—regulators tightened scrutiny of flashy financial promotions. In that climate, U.S. Marshals in 2024 detained Andrew and Tristan Tate in Miami, accusing them of using rented Aston Martins, Bugattis and a £36.64 million superyacht to market Hustlers University.
