The Tinder Swindler conman whose scams are the focus of an explosive new Netflix documentary has deleted the Instagram account where he flaunted photos of his lavish lifestyle.
Throughout 2018 and 2019, Shimon Hayut, 31, tricked multiple single women who he met through the dating app Tinder into giving him hundreds of thousands of dollars while pretending to be a billionaire named Simon Leviev.
Now, Netflix has dropped a new documentary about his ploys sparking huge media coverage and increased backlash against Shimon who appears to have become somewhat publicity-shy in the light of the renewed scrutiny.
So much so that the convicted conman chose to delete his social media account, which he had been regularly updating with snippets from his high-flying lifestyle, from photos of himself posing on private jets to videos of himself behind the wheel of luxury cars.
Shimon was ultimately arrested and charged fraud, theft, and forgery.
He spent five months in prison before he was released on ‘good behavior’ in May 2020
