The Ultimate Con
It all started to come crashing down. As soon as the jig was up, people started spreading the word about Anna by publishing stories about her and referring to her as a ‘want-to-be socialite.’ She reacted by becoming upset and disputing all of the claims, claiming that they were all false information. She remained committed to her tale, claiming that she possessed all of the funds but was unable to access them. The fact that Rachel did not believe Anna prompted her to take matters into her own hands, sending an email to the New York District Attorney’s Office to inform them that she believed Anna was a scam artist. The authorities checked into it and responded immediately, saying they were confident she was correct as well. First and foremost, she was detained for unpaid hotel bills from all of the places she had stayed at. The news spread quickly through the media, yet Anna was able to secure legal representation and obtain bail. It is still unclear how she was able to escape capture. One thing was certain: she is extremely talented at what she does. Not long after, she returned to her former life, traveling to California, where she was apprehended almost immediately in Malibu. She was returned to New York by force, where she was charged with “six charges of grand larceny and attempted grand larceny, as well as theft of services,” according to the court documents.
The Ultimate Con
Anna’s True Identity
As it turns out, Anna Delvey was not her real name when she was born. Her true name is Anna Sorokin, and she was born in the Russian Federation in 1991. She is not a German heiress; her family recently relocated to Germany in 2007 from their home in the United States. It was not a wealthy family that raised her; rather, it was an average working-class family that did not provide her with any sort of ‘trust fund.’ She might face a sentence of up to 15 years in jail.
