Sanctions against Leviev
It’s super early in Israel and I am hung over from a birthday party, but I was just watching the news in Ukraine and I wondered—- since Lev Leviev will likely be sanctioned as Russian oligarch (read up on his ties to Putin), and Shimon Hayut legally changed his name to Simon Leviev and has told the story that he is Leviev’s son, could he finally be so lucky as to get his bad karma now from using their name? Not everyone on Earth knows his story; someone could see his name and refuse him lines of credit, access to flight travel, etc. Maybe I’m too hungover and hopeful…

Simon is being sued right now by the Leviev family for using their trademarked name and company to swindle people. They’re not happy about it. They claim he’s still telling people in Israel that he’s the son of Lev and he’s still scamming people in Israel. Supposedly the women reached out to this family and they’re all super pissed that some loser used the family money to make himself rich. Apparently he was able to con real business people too by using this name, not just the women. He asked for favors, etc.
I don’t know what will happen to this lawsuit now with all this mess but I do look forward to Simon being punished somehow. He must be relieved that this is happening though.
I’m Israeli and when he does go out of his “hiding” in his old Haredi neighborhood, he still fronts like he’s a Leviev, scamming. The Levievs are suing him, Lev Leviev any return to Israel due to his tax issues here, and he is indeed under sanctions because he is a Russian oligarch with close ties to Putin. Shimon sure knew how to pick ‘em when he chose this family to pretend to be a part of! חחח I hope he gets what’s coming to him!
