She fooled New York’s elites pretending to be a wealthy heiress, scamming her way to $275,000, a prison sentence ... and a Netflix deal. This is the story of Anna Sorokin, which inspired the new series “Inventing Anna.” | Brut

The Anna Sorokin story is a tale of a young woman who decided to be someone else and became that person - but at an enormous cost. 30-year-old Sorokin was convicted in May 2019 on eight counts, including grand larceny, attempted grand larceny and theft of services. She was sentenced to four to 12 years in prison, fined $24,000 and ordered to pay nearly $200,000 in restitution. She served just under four years and was released on good behavior in February.
