Shimon Hayut, also known as “Simon Leviev” — the subject of Netflix’s new documentary, “The Tinder Swindler” — has been permanently banned from Tinder. “The Tinder Swindler” detailed accusations against Hayut, with multiple women accusing him of scamming them of hundreds of thousands of dollars after meeting through Tinder.
In a statement to ET, a Tinder spokesperson said Hayut was no longer allowed on the dating app. “We banned Simon Leviev and any of his known aliases as soon as the story of his actions became public in 2019,” the statement reads. “He is permanently banned from Tinder.
In the lead up to the release of the documentary, we conducted additional internal investigations and can confirm Simon Leviev is not active on Tinder under any of his known aliases.” In the much-watched documentary, three women said Hayut claimed to be the son of Israeli diamond tycoon Levi Leviev and led them to falsely believe he was wealthy by initially taking them on lavish dates — in one case, a private jet.
