Fake heiress Anna Delvey is finally about to be deported.
The convicted con artist, 35, whose real name is Anna Sorokin, was found guilty in 2019 of second-degree larceny, attempted grand larceny and other charges after ripping off numerous supposed “friends,” banks and hotels as part of a scheme to live a champagne life on a lite beer budget.
A month later, she was taken into custody by ICE for violating immigration law. She was released in October 2022 but required to wear an ankle monitor while she appealed her case.
The high-maintenance fraudster entered the U.S. on a tourist visa in 2017, but she failed to leave the country when it expired, making her a “criminal illegal alien from Germany,” according to Homeland Security, per Fox News Digital.
“For years, she has made a mockery of the United States court system and its immigration laws,” a DHS spokesperson said, according to the outlet.

While she pretended to be a German heiress with a $70 million trust fund, she was actually born in Russia to a middle-class family — her father was a truck driver — and only moved to Germany when she was 16, according to The Cut.
Once Delvey arrived in New York, she quickly began grifting, skipping out on a $11,518 tab at the posh Beekman Hotel and another for $30,000 at the exclusive 11 Howard hotel in SoHo.
Later that year, Delvey coerced a friend to put a $62,000 charge for a vacation at a resort in Marrakesh, Morocco, on the pal’s credit card, claiming hers wasn’t working.
She also never paid her $20,000 tab at Richard Branson‘s tony Kasbah Tamadot resort in Morocco.

Although Netflix paid Delvey $320,000 for the rights to her life story as the basis of the hit docuseries Inventing Anna, the New York attorney general forced the majority of the money to be used for restitution and fines, per the state’s Son of Sam law, which prevents lawbreakers from profiting from their crimes, according to Oxygen.
