Summary
Fake German heiress Anna Sorokin conned her way into Manhattan society.
Posing as Anna Delvey, a German heiress, she swindled banks, hotels, and friends out of more than $200,000. She forged checks to get money from banks and charmed people into paying for extravagant meals and travel.
Sorokin was convicted on a handful of grand larceny and theft of services charges. After serving her time, the 31-year-old was released from prison and is now fighting against deportation, but once again, Sorokin has managed to land on her feet.
First, she landed a deal with Netflix for the rights to her life story, then began selling her artwork, and then Sorokin said her home confinement and social media ban are “more restrictive” than jail.
Sorokin is back in the headlines, saying the weight she gained in prison is "embarrassing." Delvey tells Page Six the food in prison is the worst.
Delvey's ankle monitor radius had been extended now to 75 miles, which allows her roaming room for the long series of beauty treatments she's indulging in, paid for by her income from Dancing With The Stars.
