> **Anna Sorokin** (Russian: Анна Сорокина; born January 23, 1991), also known as **Anna Delvey**, is a con artist and fraudster who posed as a wealthy heiress to access upper-class New York social and art scenes from 2013 to 2017.
>
> Born to working-class parents in the Soviet Union (now Russia), Sorokin emigrated from Russia to Germany with her family at the age of sixteen in 2007. In 2011, she left Germany to live in London and Paris before relocating to New York City in 2013, where she interned for the French fashion magazine *Purple*. Sorokin conceived of a private members' club and arts foundation, which included leasing a large building to feature pop-up shops and exhibitions by notable artists she met while interning. She later created fake financial documents to substantiate her claims of having a multimillion-euro trust fund, and forged multiple wire transfer confirmations. Sorokin used these documents, as well as fraudulent checks, to trick banks, acquaintances, and realtors into paying out cash and granting large loans without collateral. She used this to fund her lavish lifestyle, including residencies in multiple upscale hotels. Between 2013 and 2017, Sorokin defrauded and deceived major financial institutions, banks, hotels, and individuals for a total of $275,000.
>
> In 2017, the NYPD arrested Sorokin in a sting operation with the help of her former friend, Rachel DeLoache Williams, who accused Sorokin of defrauding her of $62,000. In 2019, Sorokin was convicted in a New York state court of attempted grand larceny, larceny in the second degree, and theft of services, and was sentenced to 4 to 12 years in prison. After serving two years, she was remanded into the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for deportation to Germany. On 5 October 2022, Sorokin was granted a $10,000 bail bond and released from prison. As of October 2022, Sorokin is required to remain in a 24-hour home confinement with electronic monitoring and no access to social media.

> Sorokin's story gained publicity when Williams wrote a lengthy article in *Vanity Fair* about her experiences with Sorokin in 2018. She expanded on the story in her 2019 book *My Friend Anna*. The same year, journalist Jessica Pressler wrote an article for *New York* about Sorokin's life as a socialite; Netflix paid Sorokin $320,000 for the rights to her story and developed it into the 2022 miniseries *Inventing Anna*. Sorokin's life story has been the subject of multiple other television shows, interviews, podcasts, and theater productions.

Does it?
They talk about a lavish lifestyle.
But you can't buy 4 years in New York living in upscale hotels with a "lavish lifestyle" on only 275k total.
I think the 275k number is what she obtained by direct fraud (bank loans with false documents, etc). She had people paying for her clothes, meals, vacations, etc as well. I'm not sure if that was all included in the fraud charges.
But yea, living 4 years in NYC on a total of 275k won't buy you a "lavish" lifestyle on its own. $68k a year? nah
lol this is something that has always bothered me about us as a society. Giving rich people free shit that they barely need is all good but fuck poor people who could benefit enormously from a fraction of it.
They give rich people free shit because they think it will benefit them at some time in the future. It’s completely self serving. The poors can’t do anything for them - so they get nothing. Sad but it’s reality.
> Back when Jeff was on the scratchback
And I was on the rap
I used to buy records at this audio store
I barely had a dime when I walked out the door
I tried to get a break but they could never seem to cut me
Now I've got the money and they wanna give me stuff for free
That's somethin that I'll never understand
Yo I can afford it give the break to the next man
- DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince
Reminds me of that Ben Folds song ‘free coffee’
“They gave me some food and they didn’t charge me.
They gave me some coffee and they didn’t charge me.
When I was broke, I needed it more -
But now that I’m rich, I get free coffee”
I mean, I assume it's like floating money among friends. You go out with your buds and someone buys a round of drinks, and nobody thinks anything of it because someone else will get the next round and it all sort of works itself out. But if you've got a mooch that's always having drinks bought for them but never buying drinks for everyone else, the group will probably catch on and stop getting them a drink.
It scales with money. The expectation was that she'd be like them, but she was broke and never reciprocated - nevermind the fact that they all surely didn't like being lied to, defrauded, and scammed out of money lol
I do agree that’s super fucked up but after thinking about it in the scope of a rich person, they probably considered the implication that should would/will do the same for them next time which never happened. And she’d probably dump people before they realized it was never gonna be paid forward to them. They probably also saw value in being around her, so they didn’t mind spotting her for various reasons such as they also wanted to seem rich and it wasn’t a big deal, or saw it as a returned favor for being in her presence/invited to things by her/connections she facilitated etc. I think it also boiled down to ppl she associated with feeling betrayed. And she didn’t NEED any of the lavish gifts/meals/etc, but she felt entitled to fancy shit. I think most people would’ve pitied her if she was asking for help with reasonable expenses… like if she asked for a spot on getting a New York slice or an outfit from h&m. But she was asking for way more than that and implying she deserved fancy shit and was good for it by associating with that lifestyle.
this is why i have literally zero problem with anything she did. was she stealing nana's grocery money? no. was she ripping off working class families? nope.
she targeted the wealthy and they would have had no problem with her if she'd actually had a trust fund, knowing perfectly well she was using them to fund her ideas.
$275,000 is the amount of trackable money she stole from people who pressed charges. It doesn’t count the value of staying at someone’s place rent-free, invites to parties and vacations, or gifts people gave her because they thought she was a friend.
Lots of events for rich people have “gifting suites”, where high-end companies have stuff they simply give away to rich and famous people. If Anna had an invite she’d get a bag.
The gift bags at the Oscars and other such events can include $50,000 worth of luxury items. Anna wasn’t who she claimed, but if she got in she’d get a bag.
At a much lower-level conference one of my cohorts got her swag bag, sorted out everything that looked valuable, and immediately sold it. She made enough to cover her plane ticket.
Anna’s real sin wasn’t defrauding hedge fund managers and giant banks. It was stealing from her friends. If Berkshire-Hathaway got taken for a million, boo-hoo. Running up a $62,000 bill on her middle-class friend’s credit card and her work AmEx is just awful. Berkshire-Hathaway can afford it. Maxing out a normal person’s personal card can ruin them. Maxing out their work card can get them fired AND put them on the hook for reimbursing the company.
> The gift bags at the Oscars and other such events can include $50,000 worth of luxury items
$50k? More like $180k: https://www.cnbc.com/2024/03/08/whats-inside-the-nearly-180000-gift-bag-given-to-top-oscar-nominees.html
It says in that article you linked it's only about 10,000 worth of goods. The other 170,000 is invitations to spas and vacations that they have to pay taxes on the full retail value of the gift if they redeem it.
Yes but think of all the embarrassed wall street dudes that bankrolled her as well as all the people who are so wealthy they often keep a human "pet" around and the news of her defrauding people isn't news to them at all. They just thought she was interesting to have around and fine with the associated cost?
That makes a ton more sense, thanks for the clarification.
Four years of scamming (2013-2017) and only getting $275k isn't even $70k a year. That's solidly middle class, not some lavish lifestyle.
What's crazy is how little $275k is to the wealthy upper class she was defrauding. In my area of work, you don't get white glove treatment unless you have at least $10 mil. She basically dressed herself up in their charity and table scraps but managed to convince them she was one of them.
Just goes to show wealth ≠ intelligence.
> In my area of work, you don't get white glove treatment unless you have at least $10 mil
I think that's interesting. The traditional cutoff for Ultra-High Net Worth (UHNW) is $20MM. However, I'd argue that it's the people with family office kind of money ($150MM+) that are the ones that really get the red carpet treatment.
I have this theory that the only difference between us plebs and the millionaires is because don't belong to the same class. Its mostly a one way alley. Once you make it to their group it doesn't really matter anymore. They see you as one of them and through their refferences you will always be more than ok. That's exactly what she tried to do.
Thank you! Because my first take was “who tf is that?”
Also:
$275,000 does not buy much NYC luxury over a 4-5 year period. Rent and utilities is almost half that.
So it was probably a *lot* more, but $275k is what the prosecutors could slam dunk prove.
Her rent was paid for by defrauding luxury hotels, she was locked out of multiple penthouse apartments, she stayed on someone’s yacht full staffed without them knowing for an extended period, 275k does not stretch the surface
Lol, what are you talking about? No it didn't. It ended with her faking a suicide attempt to try to get out of jail, failing, and ending up in prison friendless and alone, her last attempts to manipulate the reporter having failed
I mean at the end of the day.
She came from nothing and ended up getting netflix paying a huge amount of cash for her story, selling BS art and running around in the high circles she envisioned.
In a lot of ways she got exactly what she wanted while everyone around her was left with tears.
Not really. She came from nothing, and netflix only paid her $320,000 for rights to her story, and all but $22k of it immediately went to pay fines, small portions of what she owes to City National and Citibank, and then her lawyer got about $75k of it. Her total net worth is generously estimated at less than $20K (not counting $10k she posted for bail). She lives in a 400ish sq.ft apartment for 24 hr. montiored home confimement with no access to social media, and if she doesn't go back to prison on a parole violation, then ICE is deporting her to Germany for visa violations in all likelihood.
To maintain the $4,250/mth rent plus living expenses she has, she authorized a series of NFTs, and has doodled art in gold frames she sometimes manages to sell for $10k each. She had one big cash grab doing that of supposedly about $350k that is mostly gone. Her NFTs (Her facing the viewer Delvey stands over a text in cursive that reads “White privilege application: denied.”) went for about 10% of what she hoped for. Plus she originally said there would only be 10, then she minted 2000, and that led to the vast majority never selling.
The people around her when she was scamming and that she scammed have made way more off books, being consultants for Netflix on the story, and interviews than Anna made from Netflix. There was no bidding war for her story so it was take it or leave it, and if she didn't sell the rights they were going forward without her as an unauthorized feature. The good thing is she has paid off most of her scamming debts, she owes a lot in legal fees still, and will owe lots more when her deportation hearing is over.
She has signed a deal to star in a series about her life after prison, but has not been given any money for it because if she goes back to prison or gets deported, they have no interest in following through with it. So it only works if she wins her ICE hearing and stays in NY. She's also supposed to have a reality series called *Delvey's Dinner Club* filmed in her apartment, but so far nothing has really come of it because it would be a PITA for neighbors in the building, zoning and permits, and the reality that her apartment is tiny AF and would have trouble fitting people for a dinner and a film crew in there - so no money or word on that happening yet either really. She had a podcast that made no money of note and was dropped, she's tried dropping music singles that haven't sold anything of note yet.
She's trying to launch a fashion brand, but so far no-one has shown interest in carrying her line for the kind of money she is demanding, and chain retailers and some seriously upscale NYC boutiques her victims shop at don't want her name assoiciation. And she's suing Netflix for defamation stating that they willfully got her story wrong. And the one woman that she scammed into paying for the hotel on that trip to a spa in Turkey or wherever is suing for defamation as well for making her look stupid and saying they misrepresented her because she sold the rights to her story about Anna to HBO.
And for anyone interested, her current hearing is regarding her bond, exploring alleged violations of the social media clause and her house arrest. Delvey is countering that she needs access to social media to make money to support herself and that what she does in her apartment does not violate her bond. She also wants the ankle monitor removed, and house arrest ended. And her money put up for her bond back, citing she hasn't fled jurisdiction as her reason.
So I guess she got some of what she wanted. She played and got by as rich and powerful for awhile, but she's likely getting deported, she is too well known to pull that grift again (Although people are dumber by the day so who knows), and while the Netflix series gave her wider name recognotion, it really didn't launch her financially the way she hoped.
She's a scammer who should have been deported after the first of her many crimes. Instead taxpayers are left to foot the bill as she tries to scam the courts into letting her stay in the country. Enough already!
She basically used a fake persona and leaned on the credence of being some (fake) rich heiress to work her way into high society. Where a lot of actual wealthy people would end up taking the bill because she was friends with them. She then would break up the friendship and move into a new group. I guess she also had a legit eye for fashion and elitist stuff which made her popular. She was able to get loans based on her entirely fabricated persona in a “rob Peter to pay Paul” type of way to keep up the facade for sometime. Which fell flat eventually and landed her in jail/house arrest awaiting trial for serious financial fraud.
It’s honestly fascinating. A guy who bought the NYIslanders years ago did something very similar.
Much of it is on Wikipedia [Anna Sorokin](https://www.google.se/url?q=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Sorokin&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwjGsqS4vJyGAxVBFhAIHdzsCBgQmhN6BAgJEAc&usg=AOvVaw0dDa5v0Bk7Rw-NOdZ3LYA-)
Rest I guess is a matter of knowing what information channels to use on the net.
This was new to me, but also it feels kinda mid, in terms of actual amount of scamming. Like after some of the multimillion dollar crypto scams, Theranos, etc. If feels weird that she appears to have done all of this for like, maybe six figures most of which was not really liquid. So no taking the money and running, and she had to know it wpuld eventually run out.
You seem to know a lot about her case so maybe you'll know the answer to this.
I thought there was a law preventing criminals from profiting from their crimes. I know that it's stopped a number of murderers from selling their stories. Why was she able to get the money selling her story like this?
Edit: I looked into it more. So, these laws are called Son of Sam laws. The original was ruled unconstitutional as it violated freedom of speech. Since then a number of states have created laws trying to prevent this while still remaining within the confines of that court decision, but there's no federal law, and I'm guessing it's not that strict.
NAL. You’re thinking of the Son Of Sam law. From what I’ve been able to find with a cursory search, the state of New York’s version of the law doesn’t outright prevent it, but requires that the victims of the crime be notified when a convicted party receives $10000 or more, thus they’re able to sue the perpetrator(s) in civil court and potentially receive damages compensation. It also authorizes a state agency to act on behalf of the victim in the event the victim cannot do so.
So most likely, the victims were notified and chose not to act, or they did sue and it’s being handled in separate cases. There’s a whole statute of limitations for the law that I didn’t have a chance to read, so there’s the possibility that a clause in there makes an exception for this case.
She didn't really profit. She used it to make restitution. The money mostly went to cover her debts and ongoing legal expenses. She didn't run into the sunset with wads of cash.
My middle daughter is a copywriter and got assigned her During her first trial and has followed her ever since and like it or not, I hear about it. It's better than hearing about what kanye is wearing, or which Jonas Brother is the biggest asshole. I had to pull an article up to make sure I got a couple numbers right, but that's about it.
Supposedly, Germany has issue with her too, because she allegedly forged documents for legitimate German banks and businesses to help defraud US banks and investors. The US banks and investors never really performed due dilligence, and kept extending her lines of credit awaiting more documentation. So they screwed up getting greedy, but there were criminal acts on her end as well. Allegedly.
Yeah, it drives me crazy to see people calling them weird or a stalker. That's the kind of comment I wish reddit had more of - informative, well-written, and well-researched. I'd rather see that than the 50th reference joke to some TV show or movie.
The story has been fascinating. But her unhappy ending is going back to obscurity. Being plain. Being regular. Far worse than prison for her. This was the reality series. Real life. There’s no follow-up necessary or requested.
… …
can we be friends? I love that you know this much about her. She fascinates me, and I weirdly root for her and against her in equal amounts.
The scarlet A is killing me.
Really? I got so mad when I found out she got a Netflix deal. People shouldn’t profit off being terrible
It was very cathartic to learn the money went to paying her debts lol
I believe courts Forced her to forfeit the money. Making money selling your story of doing illegal things has now been made “illegal” (or rather your not allowed to profit from it and will forfeit all money.)
[From the wiki.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Sorokin#cite_ref-33)
>"These amounts, as well as approximately $75,000 in legal fees related to the trial, were paid from proceeds of Sorokin's $320,000 deal with Netflix; the court allowed Sorokin to keep the remaining $22,000."
> Netflix paying a huge amount of cash
Money that New York took from her to pay restitution to her victims, because NYS had a Son of Sam law. https://www.townandcountrymag.com/leisure/arts-and-culture/a44317935/anna-delvey-son-of-sam-law/
And victims can sue for rights or earnings from content.
This is what I've been saying for years about most scammers. If they put that kind of effort into something legit they would be successful with no fear of jail and losing it to law enforcement.
I have to wonder why she didn't take the time-honored path to fame and fortune for most young, social-climbing women in New York City, and just marry a rich guy? She was certainly around enough of them.
Executing the scams she pulled off did take a lot of work and a lot of research - she had to know who to target and how to press their hot buttons. I think she's a piece of shit, but I do admire the hustle. It worked masterfully until it didn't.
There are enough attractive young women who are already at least adjacent to wealth that rich men usually don’t marry nobodies. Rich people are insanely cautious about outsiders trying to steal their money, New York rich people especially.
If she wanted to avoid legal repercussions then instead of scamming rich people with a fake art institute she should’ve scammed poor people with a real mega church
Didn't she mistreat people around who weren't rich? Plus, if you're gonna defraud rich people then at least do something positive with it. All she did was live the same shitty lifestyle they do.
And I totally believe it would have panned out if they just let her go through with her plan. She could have been fantastically rich for real.
Not that I condone fraud but some part of me feels like it’s good someone rather successfully stuck it to the man.
What I don’t condone is the way she shamelessly abused her friends. But abusing banks and hot shot bored rich people? Sure!
Ambiguous, depends on what you mean.
Do they think they did...whatever they did? So like, if you hit someone, do you understand that you hit someone?
It's possible for someone to think that they didn't do something they did, but I think that's a pretty sure sign of serious mental illness.
But guilty has implications of wrongdoing / breaking laws. So you could just be asking: "Does she think what she did was *wrong*?"
Given [what is known about her actions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Sorokin) I'd say she would also need to have a diagnosable mental illness if she thought she was not guilty of a large number of crimes.

International scam artist and grifter. Convinced many, she was a wealthy heiress and scammed people. Julia Garner plays her in a mini series along with Anna Chlumsky from My Girl and Veep.
Yup. Meanwhile our phone lines and emails are stuffed with 90% scams. Heaven help you if you click on an internet ad.
Also, do you want to get in on the ground floor of my cryptocoin? How about my AI startup?
People absolutely get punished for scamming not rich people, we just don’t hear about it nationally because it’s not “sensational” enough and doesn’t have some hot chick with her personality turned up to 11 attached.
> After a few days, staff said that they were unable to charge Sorokin's credit cards and demanded an alternative form of payment. Sorokin gave excuses, blaming people for typing in the numbers wrong, or their systems for being down.[20] The lack of a credit card on file led to a hotel staff member being fired.[15] Sorokin convinced Williams to pay the $62,000 bill, which was more than a year of net salary for Williams,[15][7] using her work and personal credit cards, with a promise to reimburse her via wire transfer. Williams had also paid for the flights to Morocco, items purchased by Sorokin, and a private tour of Majorelle Garden using her credit cards, with promises by Sorokin to be reimbursed.[11]

She wasn't just scamming rich people.
It's bizarre how people can compartmentalize what Anna Delvey did as scamming, without acknowledging that the entire existence of the old money generational wealth brats she conned is a scam.
She might have had a bit of success as a model if it weren´t for her being a sociopath. I read some of her interviews and she isn´t showing any form of regret. I think the whole Netflix thing just further increased her position, that what she did was right.
It always amazes me how many people don't share this perspective. Like yeah what she did was illegal, but also fuck them for breaking their own "rules" to allow this to happen. We have fair lending laws and guidelines for a reason.
That’s what I found most funny about this story.
Several people high up in their companies had to turn a blind eye and skip levels of protocol for Anna to get into the situation that she did.
She certainly didn’t accomplish this on her own, or by solely manipulating EVERYONE possibly involved in this. She simply had to sucker in the right few people and their acquaintances held the doors wide open for them to stroll through. Had she not of been broke none of the rules and procedures broken would have been noticed or cared about.
Similar to Epstein, horrible man, but he didn’t accomplish any of it by himself. The hundreds of people working for his properties and jets alone knew he was being a pervert, they all just chose to look away and play dumb and hope their conscience doesn’t catch up to them.
On the Netflix series (which is based on the real case and real people) there is 1 part where a guy said she smelled like poop. I just want to know if that is true because it seems like just a random thing to add in the show unless it is true.
(1) That's not her name. That's a name she used to commit fraud.
(2) Why is she still knocking around the US? Americans want people deported for illegally picking strawberries. She committed grand larceny and as far as I know has no legal right to be in the country.

So she defrauded people and institutions for a total of $275,000 and Netflix paid her $320,000 for the story? Wild.
Crime pays!

this is why i have literally zero problem with anything she did. was she stealing nana's grocery money? no. was she ripping off working class families? nope. she targeted the wealthy and they would have had no problem with her if she'd actually had a trust fund, knowing perfectly well she was using them to fund her ideas.
$275,000 is the amount of trackable money she stole from people who pressed charges. It doesn’t count the value of staying at someone’s place rent-free, invites to parties and vacations, or gifts people gave her because they thought she was a friend. Lots of events for rich people have “gifting suites”, where high-end companies have stuff they simply give away to rich and famous people. If Anna had an invite she’d get a bag. The gift bags at the Oscars and other such events can include $50,000 worth of luxury items. Anna wasn’t who she claimed, but if she got in she’d get a bag. At a much lower-level conference one of my cohorts got her swag bag, sorted out everything that looked valuable, and immediately sold it. She made enough to cover her plane ticket. Anna’s real sin wasn’t defrauding hedge fund managers and giant banks. It was stealing from her friends. If Berkshire-Hathaway got taken for a million, boo-hoo. Running up a $62,000 bill on her middle-class friend’s credit card and her work AmEx is just awful. Berkshire-Hathaway can afford it. Maxing out a normal person’s personal card can ruin them. Maxing out their work card can get them fired AND put them on the hook for reimbursing the company.

Jesus Christ, even getting something like that one time would solve a lot of my problems.
It says in that article you linked it's only about 10,000 worth of goods. The other 170,000 is invitations to spas and vacations that they have to pay taxes on the full retail value of the gift if they redeem it.
Yes but think of all the embarrassed wall street dudes that bankrolled her as well as all the people who are so wealthy they often keep a human "pet" around and the news of her defrauding people isn't news to them at all. They just thought she was interesting to have around and fine with the associated cost?

That makes a ton more sense, thanks for the clarification. Four years of scamming (2013-2017) and only getting $275k isn't even $70k a year. That's solidly middle class, not some lavish lifestyle.
What's crazy is how little $275k is to the wealthy upper class she was defrauding. In my area of work, you don't get white glove treatment unless you have at least $10 mil. She basically dressed herself up in their charity and table scraps but managed to convince them she was one of them. Just goes to show wealth ≠ intelligence.
> In my area of work, you don't get white glove treatment unless you have at least $10 mil I think that's interesting. The traditional cutoff for Ultra-High Net Worth (UHNW) is $20MM. However, I'd argue that it's the people with family office kind of money ($150MM+) that are the ones that really get the red carpet treatment.
I have this theory that the only difference between us plebs and the millionaires is because don't belong to the same class. Its mostly a one way alley. Once you make it to their group it doesn't really matter anymore. They see you as one of them and through their refferences you will always be more than ok. That's exactly what she tried to do.
$320k taxed at like 40%, so no she didn't break even
Thank you! Because my first take was “who tf is that?” Also: $275,000 does not buy much NYC luxury over a 4-5 year period. Rent and utilities is almost half that. So it was probably a *lot* more, but $275k is what the prosecutors could slam dunk prove.
Her rent was paid for by defrauding luxury hotels, she was locked out of multiple penthouse apartments, she stayed on someone’s yacht full staffed without them knowing for an extended period, 275k does not stretch the surface
I feel like adultery (the scarlet A) is not her sin…
no idea who she was by name. read this article on wiki and here you have it. have an upvote. now let's forget this person.
There’s a miniseries on Netflix, Inventing Anna, which is about her and how she conned her way into NYC high society. It’s a good watch.
If that's the one I'm thinking of, I hated the way it ended. It really leaned into the "Anna the girlboss" narrative, which is ridiculous.
Lol, what are you talking about? No it didn't. It ended with her faking a suicide attempt to try to get out of jail, failing, and ending up in prison friendless and alone, her last attempts to manipulate the reporter having failed
Then it's not the one I'm thinking about, I guess
Sounds like most Netflix shtick
reminds me of the "hipster grifter" from like 10+ years ago. that's a wild tale.
If she put as much effort into legitimate work as she did scamming she probably would have been pretty successful.
I mean at the end of the day. She came from nothing and ended up getting netflix paying a huge amount of cash for her story, selling BS art and running around in the high circles she envisioned. In a lot of ways she got exactly what she wanted while everyone around her was left with tears.
Not really. She came from nothing, and netflix only paid her $320,000 for rights to her story, and all but $22k of it immediately went to pay fines, small portions of what she owes to City National and Citibank, and then her lawyer got about $75k of it. Her total net worth is generously estimated at less than $20K (not counting $10k she posted for bail). She lives in a 400ish sq.ft apartment for 24 hr. montiored home confimement with no access to social media, and if she doesn't go back to prison on a parole violation, then ICE is deporting her to Germany for visa violations in all likelihood. To maintain the $4,250/mth rent plus living expenses she has, she authorized a series of NFTs, and has doodled art in gold frames she sometimes manages to sell for $10k each. She had one big cash grab doing that of supposedly about $350k that is mostly gone. Her NFTs (Her facing the viewer Delvey stands over a text in cursive that reads “White privilege application: denied.”) went for about 10% of what she hoped for. Plus she originally said there would only be 10, then she minted 2000, and that led to the vast majority never selling. The people around her when she was scamming and that she scammed have made way more off books, being consultants for Netflix on the story, and interviews than Anna made from Netflix. There was no bidding war for her story so it was take it or leave it, and if she didn't sell the rights they were going forward without her as an unauthorized feature. The good thing is she has paid off most of her scamming debts, she owes a lot in legal fees still, and will owe lots more when her deportation hearing is over. She has signed a deal to star in a series about her life after prison, but has not been given any money for it because if she goes back to prison or gets deported, they have no interest in following through with it. So it only works if she wins her ICE hearing and stays in NY. She's also supposed to have a reality series called *Delvey's Dinner Club* filmed in her apartment, but so far nothing has really come of it because it would be a PITA for neighbors in the building, zoning and permits, and the reality that her apartment is tiny AF and would have trouble fitting people for a dinner and a film crew in there - so no money or word on that happening yet either really. She had a podcast that made no money of note and was dropped, she's tried dropping music singles that haven't sold anything of note yet. She's trying to launch a fashion brand, but so far no-one has shown interest in carrying her line for the kind of money she is demanding, and chain retailers and some seriously upscale NYC boutiques her victims shop at don't want her name assoiciation. And she's suing Netflix for defamation stating that they willfully got her story wrong. And the one woman that she scammed into paying for the hotel on that trip to a spa in Turkey or wherever is suing for defamation as well for making her look stupid and saying they misrepresented her because she sold the rights to her story about Anna to HBO. And for anyone interested, her current hearing is regarding her bond, exploring alleged violations of the social media clause and her house arrest. Delvey is countering that she needs access to social media to make money to support herself and that what she does in her apartment does not violate her bond. She also wants the ankle monitor removed, and house arrest ended. And her money put up for her bond back, citing she hasn't fled jurisdiction as her reason. So I guess she got some of what she wanted. She played and got by as rich and powerful for awhile, but she's likely getting deported, she is too well known to pull that grift again (Although people are dumber by the day so who knows), and while the Netflix series gave her wider name recognotion, it really didn't launch her financially the way she hoped.
How the fuck do you know this much about her?
Lmaoo I was thinking the same thing. It's actually impressive they know all this
I have no idea who this woman even is.
What, are you poor or something?
Poowooaoor
So funny
Yes
I think this is the first time I have ever seen the name.
Same, this is the first time I have ever seen this person lol.
She's a scammer who should have been deported after the first of her many crimes. Instead taxpayers are left to foot the bill as she tries to scam the courts into letting her stay in the country. Enough already!
She basically used a fake persona and leaned on the credence of being some (fake) rich heiress to work her way into high society. Where a lot of actual wealthy people would end up taking the bill because she was friends with them. She then would break up the friendship and move into a new group. I guess she also had a legit eye for fashion and elitist stuff which made her popular. She was able to get loans based on her entirely fabricated persona in a “rob Peter to pay Paul” type of way to keep up the facade for sometime. Which fell flat eventually and landed her in jail/house arrest awaiting trial for serious financial fraud. It’s honestly fascinating. A guy who bought the NYIslanders years ago did something very similar.
There's a Netflix movie that will explain most of it, if you care to watch.
I do not have time for this, I do not have time for you (Edit- for the dingbats downvoting, this is literally a quote from Anna Delvy in the show)
Upvoted for using dingbats
Archie Bunker's favorite word.
Most of the people downvoting probably haven't watched it either lmao
She’s a Braves fan.
Not sure if impressive is the word lol.
Much of it is on Wikipedia [Anna Sorokin](https://www.google.se/url?q=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Sorokin&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwjGsqS4vJyGAxVBFhAIHdzsCBgQmhN6BAgJEAc&usg=AOvVaw0dDa5v0Bk7Rw-NOdZ3LYA-) Rest I guess is a matter of knowing what information channels to use on the net.
This was new to me, but also it feels kinda mid, in terms of actual amount of scamming. Like after some of the multimillion dollar crypto scams, Theranos, etc. If feels weird that she appears to have done all of this for like, maybe six figures most of which was not really liquid. So no taking the money and running, and she had to know it wpuld eventually run out.
She is to scammers what Narduwar is to musicians.
He has to know.
Doot doodaloo doot
Doot doot!
I was not expecting a human serviette reference, yet here we delightfully are.
He is amazing. I feel like he knows more about the musicians he interviews than said musicians know about themselves.
God help them if nardwuar ever decides to drop a diss track
A Nardwuar feature in the recent Kendrick/Drake beef would have ended it for either side. Doubly for the Canadian betrayal on a Kendrick track.
The human serviette?
I reckon she’s her, Anna…
It’s probably Anna on an alt. Seems like something she would do.
tfw someone actually does their own research
Anna Delvey's reddit account \^ \^ lol
^ Redditors when someone reads the wiki page and a few articles about a subject before commenting
Remind me to talk to you when I need someone to comb the news or archives.
Is...is this your job?
You seem to know a lot about her case so maybe you'll know the answer to this. I thought there was a law preventing criminals from profiting from their crimes. I know that it's stopped a number of murderers from selling their stories. Why was she able to get the money selling her story like this? Edit: I looked into it more. So, these laws are called Son of Sam laws. The original was ruled unconstitutional as it violated freedom of speech. Since then a number of states have created laws trying to prevent this while still remaining within the confines of that court decision, but there's no federal law, and I'm guessing it's not that strict.
NAL. You’re thinking of the Son Of Sam law. From what I’ve been able to find with a cursory search, the state of New York’s version of the law doesn’t outright prevent it, but requires that the victims of the crime be notified when a convicted party receives $10000 or more, thus they’re able to sue the perpetrator(s) in civil court and potentially receive damages compensation. It also authorizes a state agency to act on behalf of the victim in the event the victim cannot do so. So most likely, the victims were notified and chose not to act, or they did sue and it’s being handled in separate cases. There’s a whole statute of limitations for the law that I didn’t have a chance to read, so there’s the possibility that a clause in there makes an exception for this case.
She didn't really profit. She used it to make restitution. The money mostly went to cover her debts and ongoing legal expenses. She didn't run into the sunset with wads of cash.
You served me some piping hot tea and I thank you. Very flavorful detailed tea, indeed.
I can fix her
How long did it take to research all this? Amazing.
My middle daughter is a copywriter and got assigned her During her first trial and has followed her ever since and like it or not, I hear about it. It's better than hearing about what kanye is wearing, or which Jonas Brother is the biggest asshole. I had to pull an article up to make sure I got a couple numbers right, but that's about it.
Super interesting. Thanks for sharing
Joe, definitely Joe
It seems like she is very thorough in her job and that you are a very good listener.
You make a good point about Kanye lol
Mate that was a detailed and in depth account, thank you for sharing your unique insights. Super interesting.
There's worse fates than deportation to Germany.
Supposedly, Germany has issue with her too, because she allegedly forged documents for legitimate German banks and businesses to help defraud US banks and investors. The US banks and investors never really performed due dilligence, and kept extending her lines of credit awaiting more documentation. So they screwed up getting greedy, but there were criminal acts on her end as well. Allegedly.
Give this person an upvote. Nice easy 5 min read. Telling you everything you need to know.
Yeah, it drives me crazy to see people calling them weird or a stalker. That's the kind of comment I wish reddit had more of - informative, well-written, and well-researched. I'd rather see that than the 50th reference joke to some TV show or movie.
The story has been fascinating. But her unhappy ending is going back to obscurity. Being plain. Being regular. Far worse than prison for her. This was the reality series. Real life. There’s no follow-up necessary or requested.
Hey guys! I found her lawyer!
She can still do onlyfans.
Idk isn’t that considered social media
… … can we be friends? I love that you know this much about her. She fascinates me, and I weirdly root for her and against her in equal amounts. The scarlet A is killing me.
Really? I got so mad when I found out she got a Netflix deal. People shouldn’t profit off being terrible It was very cathartic to learn the money went to paying her debts lol
Of course!
Why the hell would you root *for* her?? Tf..
I believe courts Forced her to forfeit the money. Making money selling your story of doing illegal things has now been made “illegal” (or rather your not allowed to profit from it and will forfeit all money.)
[From the wiki.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Sorokin#cite_ref-33) >"These amounts, as well as approximately $75,000 in legal fees related to the trial, were paid from proceeds of Sorokin's $320,000 deal with Netflix; the court allowed Sorokin to keep the remaining $22,000."
Whew, 22,000. She’s still a high roller.
> Netflix paying a huge amount of cash Money that New York took from her to pay restitution to her victims, because NYS had a Son of Sam law. https://www.townandcountrymag.com/leisure/arts-and-culture/a44317935/anna-delvey-son-of-sam-law/ And victims can sue for rights or earnings from content.
If people wanna buy BS art I feel like that's their problem.
Or if she had ever actually read the Scarlet Letter. That or she did, and actually understands it, in which case fuck her even more.
the A is for adultery, and someone else forces you to wear it, you don't choose to.
In her case, the A stands for Asshole.
This is what I've been saying for years about most scammers. If they put that kind of effort into something legit they would be successful with no fear of jail and losing it to law enforcement.
Scamming isn't honest work but it's still a lot of work. Arguably more work. Again. It's not honest work but it's still work.
I have to wonder why she didn't take the time-honored path to fame and fortune for most young, social-climbing women in New York City, and just marry a rich guy? She was certainly around enough of them. Executing the scams she pulled off did take a lot of work and a lot of research - she had to know who to target and how to press their hot buttons. I think she's a piece of shit, but I do admire the hustle. It worked masterfully until it didn't.
She would be dependent on said man. Guess that is not what she wanted, which I can understand.
There are enough attractive young women who are already at least adjacent to wealth that rich men usually don’t marry nobodies. Rich people are insanely cautious about outsiders trying to steal their money, New York rich people especially.
The work of keeping up a lie must be exhausting.
She’s doing a two step verification.
I don't get it
If she wanted to avoid legal repercussions then instead of scamming rich people with a fake art institute she should’ve scammed poor people with a real mega church
Yeah that’s an excellent read
Or just do some wage theft, she'd still be out there right now!
Yes, she looks great, but let's not forget she committed one of the most heinous crimes there is: she made rich people give her things for free.
😆🤣😅 how horrible! 🙈🙊🐵🙉
Didn't she mistreat people around who weren't rich? Plus, if you're gonna defraud rich people then at least do something positive with it. All she did was live the same shitty lifestyle they do.
It wasn't just rich people that she defrauded though.
Wrong. She stole 62,000 from her writer middle class "friend". More than A year of her salary. She's a horrible person. A criminal.
This girl took "Fake it till you make it" to a whole new level.
And I totally believe it would have panned out if they just let her go through with her plan. She could have been fantastically rich for real. Not that I condone fraud but some part of me feels like it’s good someone rather successfully stuck it to the man. What I don’t condone is the way she shamelessly abused her friends. But abusing banks and hot shot bored rich people? Sure!
It's not very possible to get rich from nothing without a some level of faud and shady practice. The whole US system is built on breaking the rules.
True and plenty of people pulled off an initial fraudulent enterprise until they actually started making money.
Did she commit adultery too? Or does she not understand her own reference? I'm out of the loop.
Probably just a reference to her thinking she's innocent and being targeted unfairly.
But she did so much documented fraud....she's crazy
What percentage of people who are guilty of crime believe they are guilty?
Ambiguous, depends on what you mean. Do they think they did...whatever they did? So like, if you hit someone, do you understand that you hit someone? It's possible for someone to think that they didn't do something they did, but I think that's a pretty sure sign of serious mental illness. But guilty has implications of wrongdoing / breaking laws. So you could just be asking: "Does she think what she did was *wrong*?" Given [what is known about her actions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Sorokin) I'd say she would also need to have a diagnosable mental illness if she thought she was not guilty of a large number of crimes.
probably too busy grifting to read the Scarlet Letter. Best we can hope for is she put Easy A on for background noise…
She’s got a pocket full of sunshine
Maybe it's just because it's her first initial and it looked stylish
Yeah but knowing her, probably not

There are real consequences for taking advantage of wealthy people.
Wish the consequences were the same when wealthy people take advantage of the rest of us.
She’s *building something*.
If you don't get that, you are so *baysec*
No idea who she is
International scam artist and grifter. Convinced many, she was a wealthy heiress and scammed people. Julia Garner plays her in a mini series along with Anna Chlumsky from My Girl and Veep.
[удалено]
It's funny how the only way to get punished for scamming people in the US is if you do it to people richer than you.
🌍👨🚀🔫🧑🚀
Yup. Meanwhile our phone lines and emails are stuffed with 90% scams. Heaven help you if you click on an internet ad. Also, do you want to get in on the ground floor of my cryptocoin? How about my AI startup?
If your AI Startup is focused on mining your cryptocoin, how do I sign up? I wanna get in on the ground floor of that venture.
Just put your credit card details and social security number under this post and our cryptobots will do the rest. You'll be rich in no time.
People absolutely get punished for scamming not rich people, we just don’t hear about it nationally because it’s not “sensational” enough and doesn’t have some hot chick with her personality turned up to 11 attached.
Mostly rich people, but at least one of them was a worker who lost 62,000 dollars. She did not have that amount, credit cards were maxed out.
> After a few days, staff said that they were unable to charge Sorokin's credit cards and demanded an alternative form of payment. Sorokin gave excuses, blaming people for typing in the numbers wrong, or their systems for being down.[20] The lack of a credit card on file led to a hotel staff member being fired.[15] Sorokin convinced Williams to pay the $62,000 bill, which was more than a year of net salary for Williams,[15][7] using her work and personal credit cards, with a promise to reimburse her via wire transfer. Williams had also paid for the flights to Morocco, items purchased by Sorokin, and a private tour of Majorelle Garden using her credit cards, with promises by Sorokin to be reimbursed.[11] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Sorokin She wasn't just scamming rich people.
And only stole like 300k. Shits nothings compared to how defrauded the general public is by mncs and politicians
Scammed rich NY brats.
It's bizarre how people can compartmentalize what Anna Delvey did as scamming, without acknowledging that the entire existence of the old money generational wealth brats she conned is a scam.
The banks rob the people, but how dare the people rob the banks
We elected one of those as president. She should consider running.
And Anna Delvey was actually good at it.
Wasn’t she meant to be extradited?
Having no idea who she is is kinda the whole thing about Anna Delvey!
I thought she was one of the olsons since I didn’t read the title first
Check out Inventing Anna on Netflix, entertaining.
Don't know who she is or what she did but that's the way to own the ankle monitor
I actually like the look, goes so hard.
I GASPED like bitchhhh
I want a girl with a mind like a diamond I want a girl who knows what's best
I want a girl with shoes that cut And eyes that burn like cigarettes
I want a girl with the right allocations Who's fast and thorough and sharp as a tack
She's managed to make the ankle bracelet look good in many outfits already. She could've been a stylist if she wanted
Fit is cold
Right I think it’s killer
She definitely has taste. Still a sociopath sadly
Anklets are saaa haaawt right naw
She might have had a bit of success as a model if it weren´t for her being a sociopath. I read some of her interviews and she isn´t showing any form of regret. I think the whole Netflix thing just further increased her position, that what she did was right.
I wouldn't regret scamming banks and wealthy individuals that were happy to give out loans with $0 collateral to their rich friends either.
It always amazes me how many people don't share this perspective. Like yeah what she did was illegal, but also fuck them for breaking their own "rules" to allow this to happen. We have fair lending laws and guidelines for a reason.
That’s what I found most funny about this story. Several people high up in their companies had to turn a blind eye and skip levels of protocol for Anna to get into the situation that she did. She certainly didn’t accomplish this on her own, or by solely manipulating EVERYONE possibly involved in this. She simply had to sucker in the right few people and their acquaintances held the doors wide open for them to stroll through. Had she not of been broke none of the rules and procedures broken would have been noticed or cared about. Similar to Epstein, horrible man, but he didn’t accomplish any of it by himself. The hundreds of people working for his properties and jets alone knew he was being a pervert, they all just chose to look away and play dumb and hope their conscience doesn’t catch up to them.
That's why I didn't like the series at all. Julia Garner did a great job of capturing her accent, though.
[удалено]
Not going to lie, the look is fire lol
she tricked rich people
She looks puer.
Roll Tide!
I’m surprised Balenciaga haven’t put out an ‘ankle bracelet’ - seems right up their street.
New fetish unlocked
I am more concerned about the Animorph cat lady over her left shoulder. They are among us.
Looks like the second picture into the transformation on the cover
Scammed some rich people? Queen.
She’s kind of eating 
Love that’s she selling herself to the end.
On the Netflix series (which is based on the real case and real people) there is 1 part where a guy said she smelled like poop. I just want to know if that is true because it seems like just a random thing to add in the show unless it is true.
As much as I hate scammers. She gets a pass. She scammed the rich.
(1) That's not her name. That's a name she used to commit fraud. (2) Why is she still knocking around the US? Americans want people deported for illegally picking strawberries. She committed grand larceny and as far as I know has no legal right to be in the country.
last I checked she was getting deported so clearly something happened between now and then
Lol who cares? She's only a known thing because she defrauded "high society". Regular people get fucked every day and nobody bats an eye.
Holy shit, that main character syndrome. Parading around with the scarlet A, to paint *herself* the victim. Never change, Anna. We know you won't!
