Anna Delvey Under House Arrest: “I’m Still Living Better Than All of You!”
Did you see the Shonda Rhimes-produced Netflix series Becoming Anna? It tells the story of Anna Sorokin, a 31-year-old Russian woman going by the alias of Anna Delvey, who scammed her way through New York City’s upscale art scene, using an invented trust fund to persuade the city’s power brokers to invest in a members-only arts club. It’s a good-but-not-great series. But it will leave you wanting to know more about the central character.
The short version: She was arrested and convicted for bilking investors out of $200,000, spent nearly two years at Riker’s Island, and is currently living in a one-bedroom apartment in Manhattan, under house arrest.
Here’s an amusing little interview with her.
