Anna Sorokin: The trial of New York's fake heiress.

Анна Сорокина представлялась как Anna Delvey, наследница немецкого состояния в 60 млн евро.

Just how far can you get in the New York City socialite scene without a real fortune of your own?

Incredibly far, in the case of Anna Delvey - real name Anna Sorokin - who tricked the city's elite into thinking she was a billionaire heiress. She hired a private jet, went to all the best parties, and threw cash at everyone she saw - a $100 (£78) tip if you carried her bag or were her Uber driver.

Надо очень хотеть, видимо, принять это очевидно славянское лицо за немецкое.

She's in prison now, right?

Yes she is. As far as I understand in Rikers Island jail.
"She was found guilty on Thursday of four counts of theft of services, three counts of grand larceny and one count of attempted grand larceny.
She declined a plea deal ... now faces deportation to Germany (because she has overstayed her visa)."
I do not know when she is going to be sentenced.
