Anna Sorokin, a woman who once pretended to be a wealthy German heiress named Anna Delvey to swindle friends and banks out of tens of thousands of dollars, is out of prison.

After serving nearly four years, she was released on parole Thursday from the Albion Correctional Facility in upstate New York, according to Department of Corrections records.

In April 2019, Sorokin, 30, was convicted by a Manhattan jury on four counts of theft services, three counts of grand larceny and one count of attempted grand larceny. She was acquitted of grand larceny and attempted grand larceny, according to The Associated Press.

Prosecutors said Sorokin convinced friends and businesses to give her money to fund her lavish lifestyle by falsely claiming that her father was a diplomat or an oil baron, and she had a fortune of more than $60 million overseas.

“We can hope she will stop conning people...but I would not hold my breath.”

It’s funny. In a way these con artists are quite impressive. I’m sure the people she conned deserved it in some way, if that’s possible.

I mean, who is going to give money to people for being royalty etc...

Exploiting rich liberals.

For example:

“Prosecutors said Sorokin convinced friends and businesses to give her money to fund her lavish lifestyle by falsely claiming that her father was a diplomat or an oil baron, and she had a fortune of more than $60 million overseas.”

I don’t know how that’s illegal.

On the other hand the article said she forged financial documents to get a loan. That’s illegal.

Watch a few episodes of the BBC show The Hustle on Pluto. Or, the US show Leverage. Con men can be sort of fun to watch.

Even WITH handcuffs, it could be a VERY not guilty session.

She's no Sue Ellen Mishke, the braless wonder and O Henry heiress, that's for sure.

The jury is interested in seeing more evidence.

It was a lot more than just tens of thousands of dollars.

Ah to have a vagina card to get you out of trouble.

She may not be worth 60 million like she told her friends, but she is definitely well endowed.
