You most likely every have your nominations for the concept of Worst Dude on Tinder, but it is safe to declare that Brandon Kiehm breaks the very best ten. Today Kiehm, the man which pulled so many cons he was dubbed the “Tinder Swindler,” would be keeping away from the dating application for a while â because he’s
likely to jail
.
Kiehm’s antics
started in mid-2015
, whenever the dog walker began posing on Tinder as a Goldman Sachs banker called “Tristan Acocella.” He told one big date he needed money for his cousin’s cancer tumors treatments and got $14,000, while an other woman gave him $12,000 for his mom’s expected malignant tumors treatments. (Neither his mummy nor their sister provides had disease.) During that time, the guy also took $13,000 from a dog-walking customer through a debit card con and $800 from their next-door neighbor.
He had been arrested and charged with grand larceny, identity theft, and program to defraud in March 2016 â but his frauds don’t hold on there. As he was out on bail in the summertime of 2016, he
certain a Tinder go out to provide him $10,000
by saying he’d lost his budget and wished to enter an internet poker tournament.
Kiehm obtained a phrase of two to six years in jail, and after that he’s going to most likely give Bumble a go.
