When Cecilie Fjellhoy, a 29-year-old Norwegian grad student living in London, swiped right on a 28-year-old supposed billionaire diamond heir on Tinder in 2018, she thought she’d found her Prince Charming. But the supposed dream man, who called himself Simon Leviev, turned out to be a nightmare, an international con man that duped her out of $250,000 and landed her in the psych ward.

Leviev’s profile showed a man who appeared to live a jet-setting life full of stylish suits and designer clothes, sipping cocktails on exotic beaches and attending high-powered business meetings. Fjellhoy had no reason to doubt that he was the “Prince of Diamonds” that he portrayed himself to be. She even Googled him, and found that there was indeed a billionaire Russian-Israeli diamond mogul, Lev Leviev a k a “The King of Diamonds,” who she took to be her suitor’s father. In reality, the two men weren’t related, and Lev doesn’t have a son named Simon.

Thanks to Fjellhoy’s tip, VG journalists including Natalie Remoe Hansen, Kristoffer Kumar and Erlend Ofte Arntsen were able to track down Hayut’s mother in Israel, who denied having contact with him in years. The Israeli police, meanwhile, confirmed that Hayut is an Israel-born fraudster who fled in 2011 to skip out on sentencing for fraud, theft and forgery. He served two years in a Finnish prison from 2015 to 2017 for defrauding several women, before he was sent back to Israel in 2017.

Grad student at 29 most likely dads money.
Dear Women,
Just make a hard and fast rule for yourselves - you don’t give or loan money in any form (cash, co-signing his loans, letting him use your credit card) to any man who is not your husband. Period. You will see how much he “loves” you when he disappears quickly after you refuse to give him your money.
That’s a different woman, not the grad student?
It's right in the story. London. So, yes.
The hunter became the hunted.
You can’t cheat an honest (wo)man.
She was a 29 year old with no debt. Evidently, she is now a 29 year old with $250,000 of debt. Her SMV just took a hit although she probably won’t acknowledge it. Likely a cat and a box of wine in the fridge in her future. Sad.
Women are wildly unrealistic on dating apps. Studies have shown that men distribute their rankings of women according to the expected symmetric bell curve, with the majority of women falling between 4 and 6 on a 10 point scale, with thick “tails” of the curve extending up to 10 points and down to 1. On the other hand, women rate 93% of men as mediocre or worse, with the median falling around 2.5 points out of 10, and a vanishingly small number above 7 or 8. The few men who rise to this level have a vast surfeit of women to choose from, and make the most of it in the selfish, piggish manner that one might expect.
Dating apps are a complete waste of time for most men, and a short, straight pathway to pump-and-dump heartache for most women.
Her value went down the minute she hit 27
Men’s value go up as they age, they acquire more wealth, experience, refine their social skills, refine their looks/dress, etc. Of course their is a ceiling to this as well
All very true and tragic. Kevin Samuels’ YouTube channel is night after night of:
Kevin: How tall are you?
Woman: 5’2”
Kevin: What’s your dress size? (They all become hard of hearing at this point)
Woman: 6
Kevin: How much do you weigh?
Woman: 185 lbs.
Kevin: rate your face on a scale of 1 to 10, no makeup and your natural hair. Can’t say 7 (everyone wants to self rate as a 7, so he takes that option away).
Woman: I’m a 10. (ALL say 8, 9, or 10)
Kevin: So, you are on the level of Hallie Berry in her prime?
Woman: yes.
Rinse and repeat. Call after call.
This is done while the woman is on a video call where everyone can see she’s nowhere near that attractive. The delusion is strong.
Finding him on a dating ap should have been her first clue.
I would think most billionaires would hire somebody to find a date or ‘escort’ for them. Where’s a good Yenta when you need one?
You can’t fix STUPID, why in the hell would a billionaire need money from you, not one ounce of common sense GEEZE!!
That’s another one of the women that he conned. Pernilla Sjoholm
Feminism has convinced women they don't need a man so they devote their 20's to their career. Many also put off marriage because they're waiting for "Mr. Perfect". By 30 the pool of available men falls off. By then they're desperate to "settle". The modern woman. You go girl.
5.2 and 185lbs is not size 6 lol
that is a moo moo
But I see your point, women are not realistic about themselves and is the reason they have a hard time with dating in general
I don’t care who you are or how old - I think you can always find a good person if you’re really engaged in life.
But yes, many women persist in silly expectations and notions of what a companion should be like well into maturity, instead of appreciating people for what they simply are.
If you’re really looking for character in a person instead of how well they fill your romantic ideals, I don’t think you can be fooled by something like this.
Feminism has destroyed women over all
It is the number one reason why I date mostly “foreign” women over American women.
Is that you, Ann Coulter?
