Leviev family withdraws lawsuit against ‘Tinder Swindler’ Simon Leviev

The Leviev family has withdrawn a legal claim against Simon Leviev, the Israeli fraudster known internationally as the ‘Tinder Swindler’. The case, which had been filed against him, has now been cancelled, according to reports emerging on Tuesday.

Simon Leviev, whose real name is Shimon Hayut, rose to notoriety after being exposed as a sophisticated romance scammer who targeted wealthy women through dating apps. His victims alleged he posed as a wealthy diamond trader and used emotional manipulation and fake threats to convince women to send him large sums of money.

The withdrawal of the Leviev family’s legal action marks a significant development in the ongoing saga surrounding Leviev, who has faced multiple lawsuits and criminal proceedings in various jurisdictions. The reasons behind the family’s decision to drop the case have not yet been disclosed.

Leviev’s activities have attracted international attention, including being the subject of a Netflix documentary that detailed his elaborate schemes and the impact on his victims.
