I had the opportunity to review the case of Anna Sorokin, “A Fake Heiress Called Anna Delvey Conned the City’s Wealthy. ‘I’m Not Sorry,’ She Says”, with Dr. Fraud (Michael Skiba, Ph.D). Did she really mean to commit the fraud or was it her environment?
For years, Ms. Sorokin pretended to be Anna Delvey, a German heiress with a $26 Million trust fund that paid for a life of glamorous ease. She lived in boutique hotels, wore designer clothes and hung out in Manhattan’s moneyed party circles.
In reality, Ms. Sorokin, 28, was a Russian immigrant who walked out on bills, connived her way into luxury, and persuaded a bank employee to give her $100,000 she never intended to pay back, the jury decided in convicting her last month.
