If you're a Dancing With The Stars fan, you might have noticed something unusual during a recent episode. One contestant hit the dance floor wearing a shiny ankle monitor. That contestant is Anna Delvey, whose real name is Anna Sorokin. She's a convicted fraudster who once fooled New York's elite by pretending to be a wealthy European heiress.
Delvey, or Sorokin, was found guilty of grand theft and sentenced to prison. She conned her way into an extravagant lifestyle, defrauding banks, lawyers, and even a private jet company out of more than $200,000 (£150,000). Her life of deception culminated in a prison sentence, but in February 2021, she was released. Now, she presents herself as a 'New York-based fashionista,' living under house arrest while wearing an electronic ankle monitor.
