Queen of the con: Anna Sorokin
(Picture: ES Composite)If Anna Delvey didn’t exist, then Aaron Sorkin would have had to invent her. Or maybe Roald Dahl. Or F Scott Fitzgerald. Or James Ellroy. Although even these literary titans might struggle to create a fiction as outrageous as the one that Anna Sorokin created for herself.
That thing you do when you’re eight and pretend you have a pony? Sorokin didn’t do that. That saying: “Go big or go home”? Sorokin did do that. But while she certainly went big, she didn’t go home. She went to prison.
