Hi everyone! Mogab was sick this week, and so unfortunately we do not have a new episode for you all. We did not want to leave you hanging, though, so we decided it was a great time to re-release our episode on Anna Delvey! This week, Kristin tells Mogab the story of Anna Delvy - one of the greatest con artists of our generation, which is saying a lot since Millennials can claim both Billy McFarland from Fyre Fest and Elizabeth Holmes from Theranos. Everyone loves a good scam story. And this is definitely a good scam story. So good, in fact, that Shonda Rhimes is making a show with Netflix about Anna Delvy: the German heiress trying to open her Center for Kids Who Can't Read Good (or something like that...). She lives in New York's fanciest hotels, is at all the best parties, and loves to tip big and take lavish trips with her friends. But weird things keep happening: her credit cards keep getting declined, or she's having trouble tapping into her trust fund, so her friends start covering for her. Only, she's not a German heiress. And she doesn't actually have any money. So how did she manage to con all her friends Into funding this lifestyle she wanted so badly? I want to point people towards the National Center for Victims of Crime, who have a Financial Crime Resource Center. They wanted to provide a resource for victim-centered services in the area of financial fraud and so they produce a guide calledTaking Action: An Advocate's Guide to Assisting Victims of Financial FraudThis guide is designed to provide advocates with practical victim-centered resources to help navigate the various options available for reporting crimes, protecting other assets and preventing re-victimization. It also offers advice on how to assist with psychological and – where possible – financial recovery.Sources: “How Anna Delvy Tricked New York” by Jessica Pressler, printed in New York Magazine“My Misadventures with the Magician of Manhattan” by Rachel Deloache Williams, printed in Vanity Fair“Who Is Anna Sorokin, a.k.a.

In 2016, Anna Delvey was a 25 year old fun loving, popular, wealthy and generous member of the New York City social scene. She lived a lavish life….was always well dressed, and had no permanent residence, instead choosing to live month to month in the high end hotels of new York city. She frequented the exclusive bars, clubs, and restaurants in downtown New York where she indulged in expensive fun, fueled by a seemingly endless supply of money. She was always in the right place, at the right time, wearing the right dress, surrounded by the right people.For a short time…a year…maybe two….she lived a life that dreams are made of. And just like dreams, none of it was real. Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/antihero)
Boots and cats and boots and cats and boots... If you give a cat a pair of boots, they're going to ask you to pretend to be a rich and beautiful man (*cough* Chris Hemsworth) so you wind up with a nice new palace and princess bride. But sometimes the good ole "fake it till you make it" mantra just doesn't work. Just ask Anna Delvey AKA Anna Sorokin AKA the Soho Grifter. This week, Sarah & Megan explore the concept of lying and when it does (and does not) work out to be happy ever after.
