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, 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 says her home confinement and social media ban is “more restrictive” than jail. Now, Delvey shines with her bedazzled ankle monitor on ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars.” The glitz didn't last long however, with Delvey exiting the competition after just two week.. She says the network and show used her to drive up ratings.
