In 2017, Delvey's web of lies caught up with her and she was jailed for her financial crimes. For several years she lived the high life amongst New York's elite, travelling on private jets and racking up costly hotel bills without ever paying. Levin continued: "While there are still a few hurdles to jump through on her release conditions, Anna is thrilled to be getting out so she can focus on appealing her wrongful conviction."ĭelvey – played by Ozark's Julia Garner in Inventing Anna – arrived in New York in 2013 and posed as a rich German heiress with a multi-million euro fortune.

"The judge rightfully recognised that Anna is not a danger to the community." "We are extremely gratified by the court’s decision today to release Anna Sorokin," her lawyer Duncan Levin said. Delvey has reportedly been banned from using social media as well. Now, she has been bailed out of ICE on a $10,000 (£8,831) bond but will remain under house arrest and wear an electronic tag. To recap, the Russian-born con-artist became a household name earlier this year when the Netflix adaptation of her crimes landed on screens. She previously served just under two years in prison for financially defrauding affluent New Yorkers.

The fake heiress has been detained at the facility since March 2021 when she was arrested for overstaying her visa. Anna Delvey (aka Anna Sorokin) – whose story inspired the hit Netflix series, Inventing Anna – had been released from a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in New York.
