Anna Sorokin or better known as Anna Delvey is a girl who is currently famous on Instagram and other social media. He often shares vacation photos, hangs out with socialites or even world fashion lovers. Unfortunately, what he showed off was not in accordance with reality.
Delvey was born in the Moscow suburbs as Anna Sorokin in 1991, and then moved to Germany with her family in 2007. She then moved to Paris, where she began as Anna Delvey.
His ruse began when he traveled to New York City in 2014. While in New York his luxurious lifestyle was in stark contrast to the fact that he couldn't even afford the hotel bill he was staying at.
On October 3, 2017 Anna Delvey was arrested by the Los Angeles Police Department, in a planned arrest operation by the Manhattan District Attorney's office. Rachel DeLoache Williams alleges she was scammed of more than $60,000 by Delvey during a trip to Marrakech.
Delvey was immediately transferred to Rikers Island and held without bail. Three weeks later, he was charged with stealing about $275,000 through various frauds.
On May 9, 2019, Delvey was sentenced to four to 12 years in prison, fined $24,000, and ordered to pay damages to his victims.
Delvey was released from prison for good behavior on February 11, 2021, after serving a sentence of nearly four years. In March 2021, six weeks after his release, he was re-arrested by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for overstay.
