They were the irreligious Jews who sided with the Greeks against other Jews. They no longer exist.

Through their anti-religious actions the Hellenizers publicly demonstrated their desire to mingle into Greek society, permanently. Thus, an implicit pact with the Greeks was formed, whether one-sided or mutual. In addition, many people are unaware that the Syrian-Greeks were not the ones who initiated the outlawing of Torah-observances, in the period leading up to the founding of Hanukkah. Rather, it was the Hellenizers, who actively petitioned the Syrian-Greeks to create and enforce the anti-religious decrees. The Greeks, for their part, on more than one occasion wondered out loud why they had gotten so entangled in the internal life of the Jews (since simple governance and taxation had until then been the limit of their involvement). Like the later Sadducees and Essenes, the Hellenized Jews eventually either repented or went lost.

Were hellenistic Jews bilingual?

It depends how Hellenized they were. Most Jews could converse in either Hebrew or Aramaic. (By the 300s BCE, Aramaic was starting to become dominant over Hebrew.) All Hellenized Jews could speak Koine Greek. Some of the Hellenized Jews were so enamored with Greek culture that they only knew how to speak Koine Greek and were no longer capable of speaking Semitic languages, but this was the minority.
