The memes and reactions to Netflix's gripping documentary, The Tinder Swindler, are almost as wild as the show itself.
On Wednesday (Feb 2), Netflix released The Tinder Swindler, a documentary about serial conman Simon Leviev and his victims Cecilie Fjellhøy, Pernilla Sjoholm andAyleen Charlotte. The doc tells the story of how Shimon Hayut posed as Simon Leviev, the son of a billionaire, on Tinderand managed to swindle multiple women out of their money.
Simon – or the Prince of Diamonds, as he called himself – treated his victims to luxury gifts and charmed them with his seemingly expensive lifestyle. But it was all an elaborate scam, which had been funded by the women he had taken money from previously. After gaining their trust, he would persuade his victims to give him large amounts of money under the guise that his "enemies" had made threats towards him if he didn't give them cash. When the women handed over the money, usually taking out loans to do so, he would then disappear.
It's safe to say the internet has been gripped by the absolutely wild story and the memes and reactions are absolutely hilarious.

Ayleen on The Tinder Swindler selling Simon Leviev’s clothes was the best bit! Loved that she managed to recoup some of her money and he had no clothes to wear! 🤣😂🤣 How the hell has he managed to find a new gf after everything he’s done is crazy! #TheTinderSwindler

Lock! Him! Up!
Don't worry, Justice was eventually served… kind of. Simon was sentenced to 15 months in prison in Israel for fraud and he was ordered to pay compensation to his victims, The Times of Israel reports. However, he served only five months because of good behaviour.
I was so happy this guy was arrested by Interpol just to find out he’s now a free man and the 3 woman are still paying for his crimes??? what???? #TheTinderSwindler pic.twitter.com/HpBi86vudN

Simon Leviev needs to be brought to justice. Pay back his victims and life in prison. He's a man-child narcissistic sociopath. The women who shared their experience on #TheTinderSwindler are brave and inspirational - hopefully justice is served!
