Tinder and other popular dating apps have confirmed the man featured in the Netflix documentary The Tinder Swindler, and his “known aliases,” have been banned from the platforms.
The new documentary follows a group of women who were allegedly tricked out of millions of dollars by a man they met through the dating app. The individual, whose real name is Shimon Hayut, but who frequently used the name Simon Leviev to connect with potential dates, often claimed he was the wealthy son of a diamond dealer, a false identity he backed up through the use of private jets and extravagant dates.
