These days, it whitethorn consciousness for illustration terrible group are perpetually rewarded for being horrible, but that isn't ever nan case. Accused rapist and activity trafficker Andrew Tate, for example, won't be getting an Aston Martin Valhalla after UK cops seized his £180,000 (roughly $243,000 astatine existent speech rates) deposit complete accusations of tax evasion and money laundering, the Independent reports. That brings nan full nan UK has seized from nan Tate brothers since December 2024 to £2.7 cardinal (about $3.6 million).

According to nan court, nan money for nan Valhalla came from a Coinbase crypto relationship that held respective cryptocurrencies, each of which were purchased pinch money made from nan brothers' different businesses. In summation to allegedly being laundered, nan Tates besides reportedly hadn't paid immoderate taxes connected those funds. In a statement, Detective Superintendent Jon Bancroft said:

This latest judgement follows connected from our applications made against nan Tate brothers, which resulted successful a successful ruling successful December 2024 and nan forfeiture of astir £2.7 cardinal of criminal funds. From nan outset, we aimed to show that Andrew and Tristan Tate evaded their taxation obligations and laundered money. We succeeded successful doing precisely that and we person succeeded again this week. This further successful result shows really we will relentlessly prosecute each criminal costs without fearfulness aliases favour.

Considering Tate faces a civilian proceedings successful nan UK adjacent summertime for raping and abusing 4 women and is besides being prosecuted successful Romania for activity trafficking minors, statutory rape and money laundering, while dealing pinch different ineligible issues truthful extended there's an full Wikipedia page dedicated to them, losing retired connected an Aston Martin feels beautiful insignificant, but it's still bully to spot Tate look immoderate existent consequences for his actions.

If you're having problem remembering nan Valhalla, that mightiness beryllium because we first saw nan conception each nan measurement backmost successful 2019, but accumulation won't really statesman until later this year. Aston has said it only plans to build 999 of these plug-in-hybrid supercars, each of which will commencement astir $1 million. You tin decidedly spot a batch of the Valkyrie in nan design, but nan Valhalla's powertrain is decidedly little exciting. 

Sure, it makes 1,064 horsepower and 811 pound-feet of torque, which by immoderate measurement is simply a heck of a batch of power, but it uses an AMG-sourced twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8, not a glorious, people aspirated V12 for illustration nan Valkyrie. If you for illustration your hybrids pinch aggregate motors, though, nan Valhalla is decidedly nan 1 to get. While nan Valkyrie's V12 is paired pinch an electrical centrifugal to make 1,160 hp, nan Valhalla's hybrid strategy uses 3 motors. It's still a decently speedy supercar, though, hitting 60 mph successful little than 2.5 seconds. 

While nan Valhalla is simply a plug-in hybrid, you won't beryllium driving it each complete municipality connected electrical powerfulness alone, unless you unrecorded successful a earnestly mini town. That's because, pinch a 6-kWh battery, its electrical scope is constricted to only astir 9 miles. So for that reason, and that logic alone, I will not beryllium buying one. That does mean I now person thing successful communal pinch Andrew Tate, but I'm besides not facing decades successful situation for committing horrible crimes, truthful I'm besides not excessively torn up astir it.
