CRIME Stories with Nancy Grace

Fake German heiress Anna Sorokin conned her way into Manhattan society.

Using the alias Anna Delvey, she swindled banks, hotels, and friends out of more than $200,000. She forged checks to obtain money from banks and charmed others into covering extravagant meals and travel expenses.

Sorokin was convicted on multiple counts of grand larceny and theft of services. After serving her sentence, the 31-year-old was released from prison and is now fighting deportation.

Despite this, Sorokin continues to find success. She secured a deal with Netflix for the rights to her life story and began selling her artwork. Sorokin also commented that her home confinement and social media ban feel “more restrictive” than jail. She now says her ankle monitor has turned her into a spectacle.
