Andrew Tate allegedly offered $10,000 for information revealing an unidentified man's identity and workplace.

According to the filing, Andrew's account had roughly 10.8 million followers at the time. British authorities said the post seeking information on the man exploded online, receiving approximately 2.8 million views in less than 10 hours.
