Overview
- Simons disclosed in a November 4, 2026 interview that she was defrauded in 2025 after placing her late father's inheritance into a 'mesa de dinero'.
- She described the loss as deeply personal, saying it felt like 'losing my father again' and that the money was meant as her retirement safety net.
- Simons says she pursued both criminal and civil proceedings against the alleged fraudster and told reporters that the same person deceived about 25 other people.
- She did not specify the exact amount but called it 'a very important sum' and explained she had never used the inheritance during her working life.
- The case highlights how informal investment schemes can leave savers exposed and may prompt closer attention to similar complaints in Argentina's courts and media.
