Tinder Swindler’s Shimon Hayut Arrested on Fraud Accusations | E! News

The Tinder Swindler has found himself in more legal trouble. Nearly three years after Shimon Yehuda Hayud was the center of Netflix’s Tinder Swindler documentary, the convicted con artist was arrested on September 14th over accusations of fraud. His attorney, Sag Rodenberg, told the New York Times. Caillute, who also went by the name Simon Lev, was detained in Georgia after a German woman alleged that he had defrauded her of nearly $44,000 or around $52,000 from 2017 to 2019, according to Interpol documents seen by the outlet. Among the alleged charges per the docs were thousands of dollars using a credit card and a phone contract in the woman’s name, including $9,000, calculating to roughly $10,600 in hotel and flights for him in the Cayman Islands after he allegedly told her that his credit card was blocked. Although the German government requested Hayut’s arrest in Georgia, Rodenberg told the New York Times that his client hasn’t been charged with any crime in Germany. The 34year-old, who denied the allegations, has 7 days to appeal the court’s ruling. According to Batumi city court documents, EN has reached out to Hayut’s attorney for additional comment and has not yet heard back. The con man’s arrest comes five years after he was sentenced to 15 months in prison on four counts of fraud in Israel. Hayut was accused of stealing over $10 million from Tinder dates after whirlwind romances with unsuspecting women in the 2022 dock. I shared my whole heart with him and then he asked me if I wants to travel with him on a private jet. He needs borrow cash. $20,000, $30,000, $140,000. His life depended on me. That’s when police tell me the man I love was never real. Everything’s a lie. Ultimately, he only served 5 months due to the country’s efforts to decrease the prison population at the beginning of the COVID pandemic, according to Norwegian newspaper Verdens Gang. [Music]
