The Making of a Swindler, Part 1

Wherever he went, Simon Leviev’s entourage would follow. A carefully curated supporting cast – his business partner, his driver, his security guard and more – created an air of glamour and legitimacy. But who were these people? Were they in on the scam? Or were they victims of his lies, as much as the women Simon swindled? In this first special episode, we look into the theater of Simon.  The Making of a Swindler is a companion to the documentary, The Tinder Swindler, now on Netflix.   The Making of A Swindler is produced by RAW and NETFLIX.
