The Tinder Swindler Simon Leviev has sensationally admitted the Netflix documentary about him conning women is the 'best thing that has happened to him'.Despite highlighting his swindling ways on a global scale, Simon, 35, said that he is 'laughing all the way to the bank' after cashing in off the back of it.It is reported that Simon managed to take $10million from his victims over a two year period and is now further profiting off of his notoriety.During an interview with The Times, Simon, whose real name is Shimon Hayut, didn't appear remorseful for the actions that led him to feature as the centre of a series.Simon was also asked how he feels about the women he tricked, and said: 'I'm happy to see them doing well. They're cashing out. I'm cashing out as well.'Doubling down, he added: 'The Tinder Swindler was the best thing that ever happened to me. Call me swindler, call me what you want. I don't care. At the end of the day, I'm laughing all the way to the bank.'

He said he had spent 23 hours a day locked in a cell with six other men and had lost 20kg in just two months.For the first time in 15 years that Simon is a free man, as the German investigation has been dropped, reportedly because of insufficient evidence.The legal action brought by the Leviev diamond family has also ended. His lawyer says the case was withdrawn this month because the alleged offences occurred outside Israel and an Israeli court therefore lacked jurisdiction. One investigation remains open in Israel as authorities are investigating allegations of coercive control made by his former girlfriend, Kate Konlin, who appeared at the end of The Tinder Swindler. Simon said: 'It's the end of years calling me a swindler, calling me bad man. But I've been used to that since I was a boy. I don't mind.'Following his release from prison, one of Simon's victims described his release from prison last week as 'a shock' and 'disappointing'.

'I'm disappointed that he's not going to spend more years in prison – but he has done two months, and it's a plea deal, so he is convicted and that means he has admitted to his crimes.'It's not what the attorneys made it sound like at first – that he has been let free because the evidence was so weak. That is not really the case. He had a plea deal, so I still see it as a win.'

And he still has an ongoing case in Israel that I have been providing testimony for,' Ms Sjoholm said.'I hope more legal action will come his way, and I hope those countries where others have been filing reports will move forward.'This case was just centred on the German file, but from what I know there are still open cases from the UK as well, so I would hope the Met police would step forward and act a little bit faster.'She added: 'What a lot of people don't know is that he also stands accused of committing not just romance fraud but crimes against companies and men.'This is what he's been living on since he was a teenager, this is his nature, he's not going to change. Only the law can change that.'
