One of the first things that Sjoholm did following the release of “The Tinder Swindler” was create a GoFundMe page with two of Leviev’s other victims, Cecilie Fjellhøy and Ayleen Charlotte. The fundraiser had reached around $225,000 before it ended.
In the appeal, the three women were humble in their request for money.

“We realize there are a thousand other worthy causes to donate to, and remain forever grateful if you choose to donate to this one. All we want are our lives back,” they wrote.
Sjoholm has also been looking into legal recourse against the bank that allowed her massive transfers. According to Page Six, she sued financial institution ING for allowing her to send such large payments to Leviev, despite the fact that he was reportedly on at least one fraud watch list. Lax security policies don’t seem like a new issue for the bank — ING had previously been fined in 2018 for not doing enough to combat money laundering. Unfortunately, a judge recently ruled against Sjoholm, though she has plans to argue her case in front of a different judge in the near future.
