Tinder Swindler’ Simon Leviev Arrested in Georgia

Israeli conman Simon Leviev, whose ixploits were exposed in Netflix’s hit documentary The Tinder Sw+ndler, has been arrested in Georgia, authorities confirmed on Monday.

Leviev, 34, born Shimon Yehuda Hayut, gained worldwide notoriety after media investigations revealed his role in romance sc@ms and financial fra¥d. According to Interior Ministry spokesman Tato Kuchava, he was detained at Batumi Airport on the Black Sea coast “at Interpol’s request,” though no further details were provided.

Between 2017 and 2019, Leviev allegedly posed as a billionaire heir on Tinder, d¥ping women into lending him large sums of money that were never repaid. His elaborate deception complete with private jets, f@ke security guards, and a lavish lifestyle made his sc@ms both convincing and highly lucrative.

The Netflix documentary, released in 2022, detailed the ordeals of several victims, with the streaming giant estimating that Leviev defr@uded women across Norway, Finland, and Sweden of around $10 million.

It was a documentary by his victims.

If you watch the documentary, he was only shown in pictures and camera videos the victims took with him.

At the time of the documentary, he declined Netflix invite to be part of the it. I think I heard he sued Netflix then ooh. Well am not too sure about that one.


From this guy, you will understand that 99.9% women only loves money so much that one can easily exploit that weakness to defraud them of there entire savings. YOU JUST NEED TO FAKE IT TO ACHIEVE YOUR OBJECTIVES

I've known about this Jewish guy for some years now who had swindled a lot of gullible White European (or Caucasian women) who thought he was a real young billionaire in USD from a real billionaire family he was impersonating. Such a smooth talker and scammer. The reality is that the Israeli criminal justice system ONLY gave him a light sentence and then he got out of prison. That's NOT the way to deal with fraudsters.

Yeah. Because there was no concrete evidence on him. Only speculations and accusations.

All the money he got from those women was voluntarily given to him by them. He doesn't pretend to be someone else like hiding on the internet.

He becomes ur friend and defraud the sh*t out of you.

And he is so good. So calm and so calculative. He knows exactly when to ask for money, and when to ask for more money that the victims wouldn't even notice how much they have spent.

Nicely put.

That's why I indicated in my post that the women were gullible. Woman have to be careful NOT to allow some men who have nothing to beguile them with outward appearances. Failure to do that, they'll learn some punishing lessons. Even men should learn to ask questions when they sense what seems like red flags.


The dude even flew occasionally on private jets, snapping photographs in choice locations and FALSELY claimed to be from a wealthy Israeli billionaire family, yet these young women didn't even suspect when he started requesting for money from them. One of the Scandinavian women who got conned by dude later revealed in an interview I watched in 2024 that she lowered her guard at that time of meeting him on Tinder and had learned her lessons now.

One of the victim team up with other victims to tell their stories with proof, part of the generated income repay the money they lost and now he's gonna go to jail.
