The Tinder Swindler is Shimon Hayut, an Israeli conman who posed as a wealthy diamond heir named Simon Leviev on dating apps like Tinder.

He would match with women, quickly charm them with a lavish lifestyle—private jets, luxury hotels, expensive gifts—then fabricate emergencies (like threats from “enemies”) to convince them to send him large sums of money. He often used funds from new victims to maintain the illusion for others, essentially running a Ponzi-style scam.

Note: A quick message for you beautiful listeners: You already know we're not good at maths, but we can also not be so good at organising ourselves all the time - so we're going to take a little break from releasing new episodes but will be back in your ears with an update soon.
