Fake Heiress Anna 'Delvey' Sorokin Gets Out of Jail, Barred From Using Social Media Until Case Is Over

Anna "Delvey" Sorokin, the fake heiress who scammed wealthy New Yorkers into giving her money, has been released from prison, but her lawyer says she can't use social media.

The 31-year-old "German heiress" con artist has been detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) since March 2021.

She also went by the name Anna Delvey and is the subject of the Netflix documentary Inventing Anna, The Guardian noted.

While fighting deportation, U.S. immigration judge Charles Conroy approved her release from detention to house confinement earlier this week.

That's Exactly What I Wanted, Says Fake Heiress Anna "Delvey" Sorokin

Anna "Delvey" Sorokin, the con artist pretending to be a German heiress, claims that she exactly got what she wanted after her release from jail.

In her first interview after her release, she told the New York Times that she was "really happy" to be free and that "nothing was guaranteed."

Sorokin was given a $10,000 bond and let out of jail on Friday. She is under home arrest and has a social media restriction.

"They denied bail before. It was an exercise in perseverance," the fake heiress told the newspaper.

"So many immigration lawyers told me I'd get deported to Mars before I'd get out in New York."

Sorokin will be staying in New York until her immigration case is over. She said that she is happy about what happened, that is what she wanted, and she is hoping for more freedom.

Sky News reported that the fake heiress now lives in a one-bedroom apartment in the city's East Village area.

She also said the money used for her $10,000 bond and apartment lease is hers.

How Did Anna "Delvey" Sorokin Become a Con Artist?

Sorokin was born in Russia, moved to Germany at 16 and later dropped out of college. Then, she moved to New York in 2013 after working as an intern for a fashion magazine in Paris.

Over the next few years, she stole $275,000 from restaurants, hotels, banks, and people by saying she was a German heiress with a $60 million trust fund.

Sorokin slept in some of New York's most luxurious hotels for months, piling up massive bills for food and lodging and promising to pay by wire transfer. However, this did not occur.

The fake heiress also tried to get $22 million in loans from City National Bank and Fortress Investment Group by making up fake bank documents. She wanted to use the money to open the Anna Delvey Foundation, a social club similar to Soho House.

According to Yahoo, Sorokin even convinced a City National Bank employee to allow her to overdraw her account to obtain a $100,000 loan.

In the summer of 2018, Vanity Fair and The Cut wrote about her plan and found out about the scams.

Sorokin, the con artist, was found guilty on eight counts in 2019, including attempted grand larceny for trying to borrow $22 million from a bank.
