NEW YORK CITY — The fake heiress whose rise and fall in New York City's exclusive social scene inspired a hit Neflix series has a new, unwilling project: deportation, according to a new report. Anna "Delvey" Sorokin will be deported to Germany on Monday night, the New York Post first reported. Sorokin spent the better part of a year in ICE custody after authorities said she overstayed her visa, the report states. She rose to fame — or infamy — after authorities arrested her in 2017 and a New York Magazine story detailed how she fooled a trail of powerful New Yorkers and cultural figures into believing she was a German heiress named "Anna Delvey." Along the way, Sorokin ran up and never paid exorbitant bills at a spate of high-end hotels and nearly tricked banks into loaning her more than $20 million to set up an exclusive art club in Manhattan. A high-profile trial ended with Sorokin receiving a four-year sentence for grand larceny and other charges. But she was released early on good behavior until ICE picked her up. Her exploits are detailed in "Inventing Anna," a popular series that has inspired memes and a "Saturday Night Live" parody. Read the full New York Post report here.
