If you didn't watch Tinder Swindler on Netflix then you're probably not in the loop about Simon Leviev. The documentary follows women who were led to believe that they had matched with a wealthy young diamond tycoon when in fact they were a part of a money-laundering syndicate.

Leviev would woo the women with private jets, five-star hotels, trips abroad, et cetera, and make them buy into this idea of luxury before he pulled the biggest con. Simon would make the young women take out loans and credit cards to "help" him escape his enemies. Blinded by love, three women found themselves with almost half a million dollars worth of debt.
