Fake German heiress Anna Sorokin conned her way into Manhattan society.
Masquerading as a German heiress named Anna Delvey, she deceived banks, hotels, and acquaintances, accumulating more than $200,000. She manipulated banks with forged checks and persuaded others to cover luxurious dining and travel expenses.
Sorokin was found guilty of several grand larceny and theft of services charges. After completing her sentence, the 31-year-old was released from prison and is currently resisting deportation, yet Sorokin manages to bounce back.
Initially, she secured a Netflix deal for her life story’s rights, followed by selling her artwork. Sorokin remarked that her home confinement and restriction from social media are “more restrictive” than actual jail time.
Sorokin has returned to the news, this time concerning rabbits. She was recently seen with three leashed rabbits in a Tribeca area. Days later, the rabbits were found in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park, triggering intense online criticism.
Sorokin says she has received hundreds of death threats, even though she denies any responsibility.
