From Soho House to the Big House.
Posing as a German heiress with a $60 million trust fund and a closet full of Céline and Supreme, Sorokin talked herself into some of the most exclusive hotels, clubs, and parties in the city.After two days of jury deliberation in April, Sorokin was found guilty on multiple fraud charges, including second-degree grand larceny and theft of services.
After moving to New York, she made her home in some of the city's most luxurious hotels. She'd rack up massive bills on rooms and restaurants, which she promised to pay for with wire transfers that would never actually show up. Under the guise of wanting to open an arts and social club, Sorokin tried to get $22 million loans from City National Bank and Fortress Investment Group using fraudulent documents. She managed to snag a $100,000 loan by convincing a City National Bank rep to let her overdraft her account, then went on a shopping spree at Apple and Net-a-Porter.
In the viral Vanity Fair tell-all, former photo editor of the magazine Rachel DeLoache Williams detailed her brief but expensive friendship with Sorokin, which started in a Manhattan nightclub. The two drank in hotel bars, visited a personal trainer, and ate in fancy restaurants, always on Sorokin's dime.
Everything changed when the two took a trip to Morocco, where they stayed in a five-star resort for $7,000 and racked up a $62,000 bill. Sorokin's card got declined, and she convinced Williams to put it on hers instead. When the promise to pay her back went unfulfilled, Williams went to the police.Rolling Stone“This is the most traumatic thing I have ever been through,” Williams said. “I wish I had never met Anna. If I could have gone back in time to not be where I am today, I would.
