1/ For those interested in reading about some of #TheTinderSwindler's other victims -- not mentioned in the #Netflix documentary -- we did several stories back in 2019. They can be read quite easily in english by using Google Translate. 2/ First one is from New York. The Chobin family tells the story on how a teenage Shimon Yehuda Hayut in 2008 got away with 42.000 dollars after living with them, spending them on luxury travel, hotels and shopping on Fifth Avenue in three days. vg.no/nyheter/i/OnV3…
