The Israeli conman, operating under the name Simon, targeted a slew of women with his dating app hustling, with the documentary focusing on three of his victims in particular.
Reports claim that he did, in fact, serve time for his crimes, being imprisoned in his home country in December 2019.
Shimon Hayut was released after only five months of his initial fifteen-month sentence.
He was reportedly ordered to pay compensation to the women he conned as well as deliver a fine as part of his plea deal.
Hayut had also previously served two years of jail time in Finland in 2015 after similar offences.
According to Esquire, the Swindler is now 31-years-old and remains in Israel as a free man and remains out of the public eye.
