Andrew Tate's lawyers told a Miami court that he rented supercars and borrowed a yacht to appear "uberwealthy" and boost online engagement, arguing he is not as wealthy as his social media image suggests. Prosecutors counter that Tate and his brother Tristan are a flight risk and should not be released on bail. The reports do not confirm a ruling on the bail request.
