Anna Delvey Is Reportedly Being Deported to Germany
New York City’s favorite grifter, Anna Delvey — née Sorokin
— has reportedly been released from the detention center in upstate New York
where she’s been imprisoned for a year. The New York Post reports that she will
be deported to Germany on Monday night.
After years of scamming New York City’s elite banks, hotels,
and jet setters out of hundreds of thousands of dollars, Delvey was arrested in
2017 and eventually convicted on several charges, including grand larceny and
theft of services.
She spent just under four years in prison, paying off her
debts largely with the funds Netflix paid her to adapt New York’s feature about
her life into the show Inventing Anna. She was released on good behavior in
February 2021, only to be seized by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement
six weeks later for overstaying her visa (originally from Russia, Delvey’s
family moved to Germany when she was a teenager).
Since then, she’s been held at Orange County Correctional
Facility, an ICE detention center in Goshen, New York. In an essay written from
custody earlier this year, she painted a grim portrait of her confinement, which
she described as a “criminal-insane-asylum setting.”
Now, she’s reportedly scheduled to board a flight to
Frankfurt on Monday night. She apparently previously filed an appeal to remain
in the U.S., and at least one source claims she’s furious about being sent
back. Fortunately, she may still have a chance to speak her mind: She’s slated
to appear on the podcast “Call Her Daddy” on Wednesday, though it’s not clear
if her deportation will affect her interview.
