That does not mean there aren't charges. The charges he's being held on are those above, there's no mystery, this is publicly available information.
They're being held while the charges are investigated because they are considered a high risk of leaving the country if they're released. This is NOT all that unusual when someone is a flight risk, or a risk of destroying evidence.
The idea that this is a grand political conspiracy is mad. He's a sad reddit Redpill fraudster who believed his own hype too much and flew too close to the sun by bragging about his crimes all over the Internet. How on earth is he anything like Julian Assange? Can you name ONE secret that he's revealed to the world that hadnt been on Reddit forums already for years? Just... One? Do you believe that all of his "matrix" talk was something new?

Maybe I'm being thick but I'm confused by your terminology. What does 'being held on charges' mean?
Surely the usual steps of committing a crime are: arrested on suspicion > charged > face trial > found guilty. You don't need to be charged in court, you get charged just after your arrest? By all accounts the Tates are still at stage one of that process - arrested but not charged. In the UK, you cannot be held without charge for more than 4 days unless you are arrested on terror offences
