Anna <em>Sorokin <\/em>was born in Russia in the early \u201990s and eventually made her way to the United States. As a fashion magazine intern, she used falsified documents to pretend to be a wealthy European heiress \u2014 gaining access to people, places, and loans.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, the NYPD caught her in a 2017 sting operation. Her former friend not only turned her in, but wrote about her online and published a book about her.<\/p>\n<p>Anna Delvey \u2014 as she seems to still be using the fake heiress psuedonym that she adopted \u2014 received a 4-to-12 year sentence for grand larceny, larceny in the second degree, and theft of services. Since 2022, she\u2019s been on home release with an ankle monitor \u2014 and fighting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehollywoodgossip.com\/2022\/03\/anna-delvey-deported-to-germany-banned-for-life-from-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">deportation to Germany<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Season 33 Cast Reveal | Dancing with the Stars\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jYh-_CFrDrc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"h-why-is-she-wearing-an-ankle-monitor\">Why is she wearing an ankle monitor?<\/h2>\n<p>If that story sounds familiar \u2026 well, it really ought to. Even if you didn\u2019t read her former friend\u2019s account, there have been numerous documentaries, podcasts, and ripped-from-the-headlines scripted iterations of Anna Delvey\u2019s scheme.<\/p>\n<p>Most famously, Netflix paid Anna Delvey $320,000 for the rights to her story. That is how the 2022 miniseries, <em>Inventing Anna<\/em>, came to be.<\/p>\n<p>In October of 2022, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehollywoodgossip.com\/2022\/10\/anna-delvey-released-from-jail-but-banned-from-social-media\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Anna Delvey received<\/a> a $10,000 bail bond and left prison.
