Yassss secure that bag sis!! Oh sorry, are we not still doing that? Okay let me start over. Noted piece of shit, Simon Leviev aka The Tinder Swindler is reportedly making bank on Cameo for $200 video messages. If this blue check Tik Toker is to be believed, Simon made more than 30k in his first three days on the app.
If you’re unfamiliar with Simon Leviev’s tactics go watch The Tinder Swindler on Netflix. It’s an interesting study into how we’re so easily manipulated into believing whatever we see on the internet. Because Simon posted pictures of himself flying private to expensive clubs in designer clothes with good looking women he was able to steal money from women who believed they were dating him.
Simon has never served jail time for the alleged fraud he committed in the Netflix documentary. I say “alleged” because technically it is, but he absolutely did that shit. Leviev got fifteen months and a 44k fine for previous crimes in Israel which he wound up serving a measly five months for.
Now a free man, Leviev appears to be living the same lifestyle he grew accustomed to before prison. Whether it’s his new found fame that’s given him friends in high places or he’s still swindling horny singles on the internet, one things for sure, the money is still coming in.
It’s funny how we line the pockets of the monsters we create. He was a dickhead before Netflix obviously, we didn’t create that. But the irony now is that the notoriety that Simon amassed from the documentary has given him more revenue streams than ever before. And now they’re legit, like Cameo.
You don’t need to buy a cameo to watch Simon’s videos. There are previously purchased videos that are avaible for public viewing. There’s something about someone being so hated and doubling down by mocking what they’re hated for that gets me every time. All the videos are like “Heyy {inset name} happy birthday! Your boyfriend needs you to protect him from his many enemies!” He even tells one girl “You cannot copy my trick of using his credit cards.” What a set of balls.
Apparently Leviev has threatened to sue Netflix for defamation. Don’t bite the hand that feeds you. Netflix gave Simon the path towards legitimacy with reportedly signing an agent for a dating show, charging ungodly prices for club appearances, and now sending out daily Cameos at $200 a pop.
If you’re the type for happy endings, fret not. The victims and stars of The Tinder Swindler have started a gofundme that’s raised of 200k so far. If you’re really feeling that bad for them, put your money where your mouth is: https://www.gofundme.com/f/75c8gg-help-the-victims-of-the-tinder-swindler
