It's the latest turn in a case that inspired the Netflix series 'Inventing Anna.'
NEW YORK — Phony socialite and convicted swindler Anna Sorokin, whose scheme inspired a Netflix series, has been released from U.S. immigration custody to house arrest, immigration officials and her spokesperson said."Anna now has her opportunity to demonstrate her commitment to growing and giving back and being a positive impact on those she meets," Engelmayer said in a statement.
She was convicted in 2019 of conning $275,000 from banks, hotels and swank New Yorkers into financing her deluxe lifestyle. 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.
