"FAKE Heiress" Gets Netflix $$$ PAYDAY $$$

Anna Sorokin conned her way into Manhattan society. Posing as Anna Delvey, a German heiress, she swindled banks, hotels, and friends out of more than $200,000 dollars. She forged checks to get money from banks and charmed people into paying for extravagant meals, and travel.

Sorokin was convicted on a handful of grand larceny and theft of services charges. After serving her time, the 31-year-old was released from prison, only to find herself back behind bars. This time, she is fighting being deported to Germany for "overstaying her visa," but again Sorokin has fallen on her feet, landing a deal with Netflix for the rights to her life story.

Inventing Anna is a new docu-series from creator Shonda Rhimes.
