Shimon Hayut

In an interview with The Times, Shimon Hayut, who reportedly swindled about $10 million from his victims, said: "Call me a swindler, I don't care - I'm laughing all the way to the bank." For the first time in 15 years, he is a free man after the investigation in Germany was closed and the Leviev family lawsuit was withdrawn. One of his victims: "He won't change, only the law can change that."
