Anna Sorokin also renowned as Anna Delvey is a Russian-German woman who was involved in the socialite scene in Manhattan. She was convicted with multiple counts of grand larceny for allegedly scamming wealthy New York City business acquaintances and several hotels in the year 2019.
Anna Sorokin Found Guilty
Anna Sorokin, also known as Anna Delvey, has been found guilty on several counts. The 28-year-old captured our attention, if not our hearts, for the better part of the last year, as tales emerged of the cons that paid her way through restaurants, bank loans, and trips overseas, sometimes in pursuit of her dream-building an art gallery-cum-restaurant space in Manhattan-and sometimes just to live the luxurious life she claimed to have. Her trial, held at the State Supreme Court in Manhattan, lasted nearly one month. In that time, her attorney Todd Spodek presented an image of a bootstrapping young ingenue who was on her way to success—or least to paying back the people and institutions she “borrowed” from. Spodek’s opening and closing arguments circled one idea: that Anna Sorokin is the American dream. “‘Fake it until you make it,’” Spodek said in his opening statements. “Anna had to live by it.”
The trial of New York's fake heiress: Anna Sorokin
Anna Delvey (Anna Sorokin) - who tricked the city's elite into thinking she was a billionaire heiress. She hired a private jet, went to all the best parties, and threw cash at everyone she saw - a $100 (£78) tip if you carried her bag or were her Uber driver. In real life, Sorokin had no multi-million-dollar trust fund. According to New York Magazine, her father is a former trucker, who runs a heating-and-cooling business. After her credit cards began to fail - repeatedly - and she was kicked out of the luxury hotels she lived in, other people were left to pick up the bills. Following a month-long trial, Sorokin has now been found guilty of multiple offenses, including stealing more than $200,000. Sorokin, who chose not to testify and pleaded not guilty, now faces up to 15 years in prison and will be sentenced on 9 May.
