Simona Weinglass, Wikipedia probe exposes an Israeli stealth PR firm that worked for scammers Loew Galitz ( talk) 21:15, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
Simona Weinglass is an investigative reporter for Times of Israel. [1]
Biography
Simona Weinglass was born in Romania and grew up in the United States. She finished high school in Israel and after graduation from an American college she moved to Israel. [1]
Wolves of Tel Aviv case
A series of investigative articles, starting with a March 2016 piece by Simona Weinglass titled "The wolves of Tel Aviv: Israel’s vast, amoral binary options scam exposed," [2] helped shed light on a multi-billion-dollar global scam in Israel. As a direct result of The Times of Israel’s investigative reporting on the fraud, on 23 October 2017 the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, unanimously passed a law banning Israel’s binary options industry. The law gave binary options firms in Israel three months since the law was passed to cease operations. After that, anyone involved in binary options is punishable by up to two years in jail.
In a Times of Israel blog, Knesset member Karine Elharrar of Yesh Atid credited the paper for bringing the issue to the attention of Israeli lawmakers: "Over the past year The Times of Israel shone a spotlight on Israel’s ugly binary options industry. It was a case of investigative journalism at its best and The Times of Israel should be proud of its journalists and editors." [3]
