Shimon Yehuda Hayut

Shimon Yehuda Hayut, also known as Simon Leviev, is an Israeli con artist infamous for defrauding women through dating apps, particularly Tinder. His exploits, which reportedly involved deceiving victims into believing he was a wealthy heir, led to significant financial losses for many women, amounting to an estimated $10 million across various countries. His story gained international attention with the release of the Netflix documentary 'The Tinder Swindler' in 2022, which highlighted the emotional and financial toll of his scams. Recently, he was released in Georgia after the German authorities dropped an extradition request related to fraud charges.
