She wasn't rich. She wasn't German royalty. But she was the queen of scams- at least for a little while. In this episode, we dive headfirst into the fabulous, fraudulent world of Anna Delvey, aka Anna Sorokin: the faux heiress who sweet-talked New York's elite, bounced between luxury hotels, and convinced the 1% that she was one of them.
We'll unpack her rise, her hustle, her courtroom fashion moments, and how she turned a con into a cultural moment. Was she a criminal mastermind or just a girl boss gone rogue? Designer lies, VIP connections, wire transfers that never came, and a Netflix deal that actually did.
Tune in for the glam, the grift, and the gossip.
