Anna Sorokin

Subject of Netflix drama known as the 'SoHo grifter' must refrain from posting on social media.

“She is on her way to being released … she is still going through the final processing,” Sandweg said. She was sentenced to four to 12 years in prison, credited with more than 500 days of time served while her case was pending and released on good behaviour in February 2021.

Her exploits posing as a German heiress to scam individuals and financial institutions out of hundreds of thousands of dollars inspired a Netflix series.

She falsely claimed to be the daughter of a diplomat or an oil baron. This week, a judge had cleared the way for Sorokin to be released to home confinement while she fights deportation. She told the publication she was "just happy to be back" in New York City.

She assumed the name Anna Delvey and posed as the heiress to a fortune of $60 million to open the door to New York high society after arriving for Fashion Week in 2013. Last November, the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) granted Sorokin an emergency request to remain in the United States while her removal was being processed, something she will now be able to do outside the walls of the detention center. Sorokin, who used the name Anna Delvey while scamming more than a quarter of a million dollars from hotels, banks and friends, was granted conditional release by a judge after posting a bond, a spokesperson for the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE), told AFP.

It was the story that caught the imagination of millions around the globe as it streamed on Netflix, and now it has a new chapter as Anna is released.

From November 2016 to August 2017, she traveled for free by private plane, stayed in luxury hotels and frequented the most exclusive Manhattan lounges, without ever paying a penny, according to the New York justice who estimated in 2019 that the value of what was swindled amounted to $275,000. According to reports, Anna Sorokin was paid $320,000 by the streaming giant. A German national, but born near Moscow, the 31-year-old was released from prison in February 2021 for good behaviour after being sentenced two years earlier to between four and 12 years in prison.

She was convicted in 2019 of conning $275000 from banks, hotels and swank New Yorkers into financing her deluxe lifestyle.

“Anna now has her opportunity to demonstrate her commitment to growing and giving back and being a positive impact on those she meets,” Engelmayer said in a statement. An immigration judge cleared the way Wednesday for Sorokin to be released to home confinement while the deportation fight plays out.

An immigration judge cleared the way Wednesday for Sorokin to be released to home confinement while the deportation fight plays out. They argue that she has overstayed her visa and must be returned to Germany.

Using the name Anna Delvey, she passed herself off as the daughter of a German diplomat, or an oil baron, and lied about having a $67 million (68 million euro) bankroll overseas to create the impression that she could cover her debts, prosecutors said.

The fake German heiress had a solo art show titled “Allegedly” and has been selling pieces on her Instagram account.

While Sorokin will not be allowed to leave the property, she will be able to receive visitors, although they will have to be approved and scheduled first. Subsequently, she used the social media platform to communicate directly with fans and supporters and sell her art. Sorokin held a solo art show in NYC in May titled “Allegedly” and has been selling off the pieces from that exhibit over the past few months by posting them to her Instagram account. I’d be lying to you and to everyone else and to myself if I said I was sorry for anything. The judge rightfully recognized that Anna is not a danger to the community.” Her representative Juda Engelmayer also told On Friday, the scammer who swindled New York socialites into believing she was a German heiress named Anna Delvey was released from an ICE detention facility in Goshen, New York, and sent back to Manhattan.

“We have an overreliance on detention, and her case is a good example of that,” he said. When City National Bank gave her a $100,000 line of credit, she spent $40,000 in a month on designer clothing and luxury hotels, according to evidence presented at trial. By the next month she had gone through the rest of the money, and then some. She persuaded some of Manhattan’s elite to believe her fake backstory and created a business plan to open an arts social club on Park Avenue South but ultimately went to jail after the project fell apart. After serving nearly four years, she spent 18 months behind bars in immigration detention for overstaying her visa, after a judge determined she was unrepentant. In May 2019, Sorokin was sentenced to four to 12 years in prison for financial crimes including grand larceny and stealing a private jet.

I think it’s going to be a longer case. The way I’ve tried to see my experience is to learn from it: Who I am today is because of the decisions I made in the past. I talk to them every other day. I’ll have to do so many things. I obviously wasn’t able to do anything from jail. I’d love to do something with criminal-justice reform to kind of highlight the struggles of other girls. I could have left, but I chose not to because I’m trying to fix what I’ve done wrong. You got the news you could leave Wednesday morning, but you didn’t have an apartment. I’m thinking what I can do with it. We’ll just see what I can do from here. I just did not want it to go down the way ICE wanted it to. And I can have visitors beyond just 1:30 p.m.
