Phony socialite and convicted swindler Anna Sorokin has been released from U.S. immigration custody to house arrest in New York.
She was convicted in 2019 of conning $275,000 from banks, hotels and swank New Yorkers into financing her deluxe lifestyle.
Using the name Anna Delvey, she passed herself off as the daughter of a German diplomat, or an oil baron, and lied about having a $67 million bankroll overseas to create the impression that she could cover her debts, prosecutors said. Her trial lawyer said she simply got in over her head as she tried to start a private arts club and had planned to pay up when she could.After serving three years behind bars, Sorokin was released last year and then detained by immigration authorities. They argue that she has overstayed her visa and must be returned to Germany.
An immigration judge cleared the way Wednesday for Sorokin to be released to home confinement while the deportation fight plays out. She is wearing an ankle monitor and had to post a $10,000 bond, provide an address where she'll stay, and agree not to post on social media. Her current attorney, Duncan Levin, said Wednesday that Sorokin wants to focus on appealing her conviction.
