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 being deported, but again Sorokin falls 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 headline now over bunnies. She recently posed with three leashed bunnies in a Tribeca neighborhood. Then they were discovered in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park days later, prompting fierce online backlash.
Sorokin says she has received hundreds of death threats, even though she denies any responsibility.
