Anna Sorokin, the subject of <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/netflix-slapped-with-defamation-suit-for-inventing-anna-511433">Shonda Rhimes' Netflix miniseries 'Inventing Anna'</a> who pretended to be a German heiress of a big fortune, is out of jail as per news reports. The Russian-born con artist was let off from a New York jail on Friday. Anna, 31, was released on a bail of $10,000. However, she is not free to roam anywhere she wishes. She will have to wear an ankle monitor and will stay under house arrest. As per People magazine, she has also been barred from using social media sites. The Russian-born scammer&nbsp;Anna Sorokin was sentenced to imprisonment in April, 2019 on charges like grand larceny in the second degree and theft of services.&nbsp;

She was sentenced to 4 to 12 years in prison and was also handed a fine of $24,000 and restitution fees of &nbsp;$199,000. In February, 2021, she was released on parole. However, not long after she was taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement as her visa had expired. She now awaits deportation to Germany, something she is contesting.&nbsp;

Born in Russia (then Soviet Union) on January 23, 1991, Anna moved to German in 2007 with her family. She lived for a while in Lond and Paris before moving to New York in 2013. There, she, using the alias Anna Delvey, forged financial documents to give credence to her outlandish claims of being an inheritor of a trust fund worth millions of euros. The documents she falsified included wire transfer confirmations and fake checks to trick people into paying her cash and grant big loans without any collateral. The money she used to finance her expensive lifestyle.

Her crimes finally caught up to her in 2017 when she was arrested by the New York Police in a sting operation.

The aforementioned Netflix series used a New York magazine article by Jessica Pressler called 'How Anna Delvey Tricked New York's Party People' as the basis.

'Inventing Anna' received mostly positive reviews. It received a score of 64 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes. The criticial consensus read, "While Inventing Anna is as tonally wobbly as Julia Garner's intentionally daffy accent, her committed performance and the salacious story make for juicy entertainment."

Anna Sorokin, the con artist at centre of 'Inventing Anna', released from jail

Anna Sorokin, a Russian -German woman and convicted swindler who tricked wealthy New Yorkers claiming to be an heiress, said she would fight against her deportation to Germany.

On Friday, Sorokin&nbsp;was granted conditional release by a judge after posting a bond. She is currently confined to her home in New York City, wearing an electronic bracelet and is prohibited from using social media, local media reported.

For 18 months, she has been fighting her deportation order to Germany, lodging a series of appeals.

The 31-year-old phoney socialist, whose scams inspired a Netflix series, was arrested in 2019 after deceiving banks, hotels and well-off New Yorkers of $275,000 to finance her luxurious lifestyle from 2013 to 2017.

Who is Anna Sorokin?

Russian-origin Sorokin holds German citizenship. Her father is a truck driver and a shopkeeper who emigrated to Germany in 2007.

What were her crimes?

Sorokin had tricked many into believing that she was Anna Delvey — a German heiress who claimed to have a fortune of $60 million.

Showing off her fake wealth, Sorokin would persuade members of the elite to invest in an exclusive arts club bearing her name.

During this time, Sorokin amassed tens of thousands of dollars in loans, free trips on a private jet and accommodation in some of New York’s tony boutique hotels.

After her story came to light, American producer Shonda Rhimes decided to make a Netflix miniseries “Inventing Anna,” starring Julia Garner.

When was she arrested?

She was arrested in 2017 and was sentenced to two years in a detention centre in 2019. Though she was released for good behaviour in 2021, Sorokin was again detained by the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) for overstaying her tourist visa. Since February she has faced a deportation order.

What is Sorkin saying?

Recently Sorokin talked to the New York Times (NYT) from her home confinement in New York City, where she vowed to fight for her stay in the United States.

“Letting them deport me would have been like a sign of capitulation — confirmation of this perception of me as this shallow person who only cares about obscene wealth, and that’s just not the reality,” she told the NYT.

“I could have left,” Sorokin added, “but I chose not to because I’m trying to fix what I’ve done wrong. I have so much history in New York and I felt like if I were in Europe, I’d be running from something.”
