Anna Sorokin fooled New York's elite when she posed as German heiress Anna Delvey, owner of a $66 million trust fund. Living a jet-set lifestyle, Russia-born Sorokin stayed at top hotels for months on end, partied with the rich and famous, and took extravagant vacations, documenting her high life on Instagram as @theannadelvey. But in 2017 the ruse unravelled, and Sorokin was finally arrested. After scamming banks, luxury hotels and individuals out of more than $200,000, she was convicted of theft of services and grand larceny in 2019 and sentenced to 12 years in jail. But Sorokin has just been released from prison early, and her scam story is being turned into a Netflix film. While Sorokin has now said she is "ashamed" of what she did, how did a twentysomething unknown get away with it for so long? Click or scroll through to find out.
