The con man investigated in Netflix’s new documentary “The TinderSwindler” has been banned from the dating app.

Shimon Hayut also known as Simon Levie allegedly met women on Tinder before swindling them for millions of dollars after catfishing them into believing his name was “Simon Leviev” and that he was the son of Israeli diamond tycoon Lev Leviev.

Tinder said in a statement issued to newsmen on Friday, “We have conducted internal investigations and can confirm Simon Leviev is no longer active on Tinder under any of his known aliases”.
