The popularity of Netflix series The Tinder Swindler has prompted the documentary’s subject to delete his Instagram account.
The Tinder Swindler, which was released on Wednesday (2 February), has proved a Netflix hit, with viewers praising the “real hero” of the series.
As many watched the series that exposed Shimon Hayut’s crimes, he swiftly deleted his social media account.
The series estimates that, over the years, Hayut (known to his victims as Simon Leviev) stole $10m (£7.4m) after luring his victims with expensive dates in order to gain their trust.
