pWotD Episode 2696: Anna Sorokin Welcome to Popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 245,809 views on Wednesday, 18 September 2024 our article of the day is Anna Sorokin.Anna Sorokin (Russian: Анна Сорокина; born January 23, 1991), also known as Anna Delvey, is a con artist and fraudster who posed as a wealthy heiress to access upper-class New York social and art scenes from 2013 to 2017.Born to working-class parents in the Soviet Union (now Russia), Sorokin emigrated from Russia to Germany with her family at the age of 16 in 2007. In 2011, she left Germany to live in London and Paris before relocating to New York City in 2013, where she interned for the French fashion magazine Purple. Sorokin conceived of a private members' club and arts foundation, which included leasing a large building to feature pop-up shops and exhibitions by notable artists she met while interning. She later created fake financial documents to substantiate her claims of having a multi-million-euro trust fund, and forged multiple wire transfer confirmations. Sorokin used these documents, as well as fraudulent checks, to trick banks, acquaintances, and realtors into paying out cash and granting large loans without collateral. She used this to fund her lavish lifestyle, including residencies in multiple upscale hotels. Between 2013 and 2017, Sorokin defrauded and deceived major financial institutions, banks, hotels, and individuals out of $275,000.In 2017, the NYPD arrested Sorokin in a sting operation with the help of her former friend, Rachel DeLoache Williams, who accused Sorokin of defrauding her of $62,000. In 2019, a New York state court convicted Sorokin of attempted grand larceny, larceny in the second degree, and theft of services, and she was sentenced to 4 to 12 years in prison. After serving two years, she was remanded into the custody of U. S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for deportation to Germany. On 5 October 2022, Sorokin was granted a $10,000 bail bond and released from prison. Sorokin's story gained publicity when Williams wrote a lengthy article in Vanity Fair about her experiences with Sorokin in 2018. She expanded on the story in her 2019 book My Friend Anna. The same year, journalist Jessica Pressler wrote an article for New York about Sorokin's life as a socialite; Netflix paid Sorokin $320,000 for the rights to her story and developed it into the 2022 miniseries Inventing Anna. Sorokin's life story has been the subject of multiple other television shows, interviews, podcasts, and theater productions.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:56 UTC on Thursday, 19 September 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Anna Sorokin on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Aria.

In this episode of the Compendium, we are diving into part two of our female scammer series where I tell Adam all about Anna Delvey, New York's infamous fake heiress. Originally born Anna Sorokin in Russia, Anna set out to take what she wanted and nothing was going to stand in her way, not even being poor.   We recount Annas first initial appearance in the glittering social scene, her ambitions plans to secure funding for the “Anna Delvey Foundation: For Kids that Can't Read Good”, to her dramatic downfall and the media frenzy that was her trial! Anna's story blurs the lines between ambition and deception, is it okay to fake it until you make it? We give you the Compendium, but if you want more, then check out these great resources:1.

Some of her fondest childhood memories involve long afternoons at the library and then reading late into the night. More than ten years ago, she began journaling about the books she read and turned that passion into writing about books. Her first forays were as a guest reviewer on a friend's blog, but she soon realized she wanted to be reviewing and talking about books on a blog of her own. From there, Novel Visits was born. That was in 2016 and, though the learning curve was steep, she loves being a part of the book community. Novel Visits focuses on new novel reviews (print and audio), previews of upcoming releases, and musings on all things bookish.

WRITERS' BLOCK Ron Block and Kristy Woodson Harvey speak with Rachel Deloache Williams about her book, My Friend Anna and about the Netflix series, Inventing Anna, and how she was portrayed

Netflix's Inventing Anna presents a flashy version of fake German heiress Anna Delvy's scams. Rachel Deloache Williams was scammed out of $62,000 by Anna on a disastrous trip to Morocco.  In today's episode, Rachel discusses true crime shows like Inventing Anna and Hulu's The Dropout and what it means for all of us when liars and scammers are elevated and amplified.     Anna ‘Delvey' Sorokin Almost Ruined My Life.

Today we're looking at the female con artist. Have you watched Inventing Anna, the series about Anna Sorokin who duped New York's banks, hotels and high society into believing she was a multi-millionaire heiress? Or The Dropout, about Silicon Valley entrepreneur Elizabeth Holmes who claimed she had invented a technology that could test for diseases with just a pinprick of blood? Their cases have inspired countless TV series, movies, podcasts, books and even plays. But why are they so popular and what does it say about us as consumers of these tales? We explore what role their gender played in achieving their deceit and the coverage they've received. We'll also discuss the history, psychology and cultural depictions of the female con artist, and hear from a woman who Anna Sorokin left with a bill for $62,000. We're joined by Sara O'Brien, senior technology reporter at CNN Business; Vicky Baker, BBC journalist; Kathryn Claire Higgins, media scholar at LSE; Dr Nicola Harding, criminologist at Lancaster University; Maria Konnikova, author of The Confidence Game; Alice Porter, journalist; Tori Telfar, author of Confident Women; and Rachel deLoache Williams, author of My Friend Anna.

New "con-gregational" podcast Scam Goddess kicked off last week with Paul F. Tompkins joining host Laci Mosley to talk about Anna Delvey, and Stephanie Early Green joined ME to talk about the newest comedy-convo crime pod on the block. How is it possible PFT never heard of Anna Delvey/Sorokin? Do comedy podcasts about true crime need to be better researched? And did you expect to get a wire-transfer primer on The Blotter Presents? Spoiler: you get one, "you're welcome." Later, we contemplated the long-running, impatience-making Ghost Adventures franchise's miniseries foray into serial killers, Serial Killer Spirits, and its premiere on H.H. Holmes. Unintentional hilarity aside, is this a show for true-crime fans, or does it lack context? What do those instruments actually do? And what is Samantha StarBrite's...whole deal? Even a ghost-hunting show has opportunities to make interesting connections, but the only connection we made to this one was with the delete button on the DVR, in an all-new The Blotter Presents.

In tech news, Android 10 is out and we have thoughts. Next week is Apple’s big iPhone event, and we go over the rumors -- both new and outstanding -- and give our take on what we’ll see. And smack in the middle of the show, we have the first part of our two-part interview with Rachel DeLoache Willliams, author of “My Friend Anna” and former friend/victim of Rocket patron saint Anna Delvey. Suffice to say, Anna Delvey is no longer our friend.

Some people work their whole lives to achieve wealth and success. But for one woman all it took was a European accent and multiple promises of future wire transfers. Suddenly she found herself at the hottest hotels and at lavish dinners with celebrities. But it all came crashing down once the bills were due. Criminal charges, jury deliberations, and fabulous courtroom ensembles are just a few of the things that make up this wealthy web of lies.

This week we're joined by freelance journalist, author, and political activist, Lauren Duca. We chat about her career transition from pop culture to political writer, her hard-won skills on dealing with criticism, and her major year of changes from divorce to coming out. But most importantly, we also chat about her forthcoming book: How to Start A Revolution (out Sept 24). Books Mentioned: How to Start A Revolution (Lauren's Book!)

My guest this week is Rachel DeLoache Williams, whose recently-released book My Friend Anna: the True Story of the Fake Heiress of New York City, offers a riveting account of her friendship with Anna Sorokin. Anna, also known as the “Soho grifter,” was originally from Russia but posed as a German heiress who wanted to open a private club and spent months living in $400-a-night hotel rooms. While doing so, she befriended Rachel, who loaned her thousands of dollars. Anna was not found criminally guilty in her actions towards Rachel - but was convicted earlier this year of defrauding banks and hotels of up to $250,000, and of trying to lie her way into securing a $22 million loan. She was sentenced to between four and twelve years in prison. Her trial, at with Rachel testified, captivated the world's press - and not just because of the outrageous nature of Anna's crimes. She became known for her high-fashion court attire too. The book makes for gripping reading, and I found our interview, which took place in the office of her publisher Quercus, utterly fascinating.

Why don't more of us appreciate how interesting older women are? It's a question we put to author and social history fan Kate Thompson, who came to tell us about her new novel Secrets of the Homefront Girls and why, when you've written about real-life matriarchs, there's no going back. Rachel DeLoache Williams talks to Hannah about being taken in by a con woman, enduring a high-profile trial and her new book My Friend Anna. Jen's serving up a shit sandwich in Jenny Off The Blocks and there are smashed cafetieres all over the Bush Telegraph. Plus, Mick enjoys watching John Prescott - wait, what? - as Dunleavy Does Dystopia does Equilibrium. Have at it! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Kathy Sheridan talks drag queens, the Irish lesbian scene and the biggest LGBTQ+ party to bring the summer to a close, Love Sensation, with Cormac Cashman, Lisa Connell and Victoria Secret. Plus: “The world was charmed when she was around"- Rachel DeLoache Williams talks to us about her book, My Friend Anna, telling the explosive true story of Anna 'Delvey' Sorokin, the fake German heiress who fooled New York's elite. But first: Tanya Sweeney and Róisín Ingle on the reality of maternity leave and the breath of fresh air that is Love Island's Maura.

The UK’s second female Prime Minister stepped down last week after a turbulent three years in office. In the last few weeks commentators have picked over Theresa May’s failure to deliver Brexit, her loss of the Conservative majority in the 2017 General Election and her limited progress in tackling the burning injustices she described on the steps of Downing Street in 2016. Today, we turn to a subject that Woman’s Hour first interviewed Theresa May about nearly 20 years ago, encouraging women to stand as MPs and to get on in the Conservative Party. We discuss her legacy for women in politics and look at how women will fare under Boris Johnson’s premiership. Angélique Kidjo is a singer from Benin who’s won three Grammys and made 13 albums. This year she makes her Proms debut with her nine-piece band in a late-night tribute to the celebrated salsa songstress Celia Cruz. Anna ‘Delvey’ Sorokin tricked New York’s city’s elite into thinking she was a wealthy German heiress. In reality she was a fraudster with no trust fund who convinced banks, hotels and friends that her fortune could cover her lifestyle as well as her future plans to set up an arts foundation in her name. She was found guilty of a number of charges including grand larceny, attempted larceny and theft of services. Rachel Deloache Williams, a key witness in the trial, discusses her new book ‘My Friend Anna’.

This week, we’re thrilled to sit down with Rachel DeLoache Williams, whose new book, My Friend Anna—the BTS story of how the fake heiress Anna Delvey scammed her out of $62,000—you probably preordered the second you heard about it. Rachel has so much to say about the trials (quite literally!) and tribulations of being one-time friends with Anna, how this experience has affected her take on trust, and how she’s doing her best to make lemonade outta the whole thing.

Sara, Danny, and Casey sit down with Rachel DeLoache Williams, former Vanity Fair photo editor and author of My Friend Anna, out now. They discuss what Anna Delvey/Sorokin was really like and what Rachel learned from getting scammed by her so-called “friend”. They also discuss how Rachel feels about Anna’s public perception and what’s next for her (think: HBO special).

 I think it was a good idea for Williams to deliver her story, in her voice. But, Rachel, I got questions, girl! Before we get to the reasons I find this story to be absolutely batshit, let’s see what Goodreads tells us about the book.Sex and the City meets Catch Me if You Can in the astonishing true story of Anna Delvey, a young con artist posing as a German heiress in New York City—as told by the former Vanity Fair photo editor who got seduced by her friendship and then scammed out of more than $62,000.Follow me at TCbyTB on all the things!Become a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/TCbyTBEmail me: TCbyTB@gmail.comRachel's book "My Friend Anna": https://www.amazon.com/My-Friend-Anna-Story-Heiress-Fantastic article about Anna: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/10/nyregion/anna-delvey-sorokin.htmlSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/true-crime-by-the-book/exclusive-content
