The claim

She was “Anna Delvey,” a German heiress with a $60 million trust fund, able to finance a private art club and repay anything on a wire from Germany.

Made in: Hotels, banks, and social circles across New York

The proof

There was no trust fund and no fortune. In April 2019 a New York jury convicted Sorokin on eight counts, including grand larceny and theft of services, for defrauding banks, hotels, and friends of roughly $200,000. She was sentenced to 4 to 12 years.

The record

People v. Sorokin — New York Supreme Court, New York County

Outcome: Convicted on eight counts including grand larceny (April 2019); sentenced to 4–12 years

A jury or judge found fraud or false statements proven beyond a reasonable doubt at trial.

What this file is

This dossier collects contradictions established in legal records. It is not a verdict on everything Anna Sorokin has ever said, and it does not assert intent. Where outcomes have changed on appeal or review, the receipt says so.
