Simon Leviev, The Tinder Swindler, said he was the son of Diamond King Lev Leviev. Here’s who his real father is and how he helped Leviev’s scam.

In The Tinder scammer, Simon Leviev scammed his victims by claiming he was the son of Diamond King Lev Leviev, but the truth about Tinder Swindler’s real father is far more interesting. The Netflix documentary debuted on February 2, 2022 and quickly rose to No. 1 on Netflix’s coveted Top 10, becoming the first documentary to do so. More than 50 million viewers watched how Tinder scammer Simon Leviev stole hundreds of thousands of dollars over The Tinder scammer, but those weren’t the only scams Leviev pulled, and Simon Leviev’s real dad may have helped him.

VIDEO OF THE DAY

The Tinder scammer follows the story of three women, Cecilie Fjellhoy, Pernilla Sjoholm and Ayleen Charlotte, who all met Simon through the dating app Tinder. For several months, Simon escorted women on vacation in private jets, took them to fancy restaurants and stayed with them in luxury hotels, leading them to believe he was the son of the leader of the diamond industry, Lev Leviev. Once the women were convinced of his wealth and status, he began asking them for money, claiming his life was in danger and only they could save him.

Before the Tinder Swindler became Simon Leviev in 2017, however, his name was Shimon Hayut. Hayut is the Israeli-born son of Rabbi Yohanan Hayut, who was also suspected of fraud. Simon Leviev’s real father, Yohanan Hayut, is said to have lured philanthropists and businessmen into lucrative businesses with the help of his son, Shimon Hayut, whom he introduced as a successful businessman, Simon Leviev .


In 2019, Toi Staff (via The Times of Israel) reported that “The Chief Rabbi of El Al Airlines, Rabbi Yohanan Hayut, has been questioned by police over suspicions that, alongside his son, a notorious alleged con artist, he defrauded men of the United States hundreds of millions of shekels. ‘business. One of those targeted by Yohanan Hayut and the Tinder Swindler, Simon Leviev was Israeli-born New York philanthropist Rabbi Raymond Badush, head of the Congregation Ahavat Shalom charity. The elder Hayut is said to have befriended Badush in 2012 before striking a lucrative deal with him in which a wealthy and respected family would funnel money to Badush’s charity, which would then make donations. checks to Rabbi Hayut, who would then return the refund value to Badush.


The Hayuts used a familiar setup for the scam, with Yohanan Hayut drinking and eating at Badush early in their friendship, leading Badush to believe that Hayut was financially sound. Simon Leviev’s real father, Yohanan Hayut, claimed the source of his money was the wealthy and respected Leviev family of LLD Diamonds, then introduced his son, Shimon Hayut, as Simon Leviev, who arrived at the meeting in a Ferrari. The father and son team would then use a fictitious company (the Tapiro Group) to deliver the money to Badush, in turn cashing the checks and swearing that they had already returned the money to Badush. With so many details similar to scams featured in Netflix The Tinder scammer, it seems that the apple does not fall far from the tree.
