About this episode

The episode discusses the case of Anna Sorokin, a fake heiress facing deportation after her criminal activities in Manhattan.

Fake German heiress Anna Sorokin conned her way into Manhattan society. Posing as Anna Delvey, a German heiress, she swindled banks, hotels, and friends out of more than $200,000. She forged checks to get money from banks and charmed people into paying for extravagant meals and travel. Sorokin was convicted on a handful of grand larceny and theft of services charges. After serving her time, the 31-year-old was released from prison and is now fighting against deportation, but her may have run out.  Homeland Security is speaking out saying, "We look forward to sending her home soon."    Initially after her release, Sorokin landed a deal with Netflix for the rights to her life story, then began selling her artwork, and took her turn on Dancing With The Stars.  Joining Nancy Grace today: Wendy Patrick: Trial Attorney & Author of “Red Flags” Jeff Cortese: Former FBI Supervisory Special Agent Dr. William July: Psychologist John Lemley: CrimeOnline Investigative Reporter See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
