Anna Sorokin on reinventing herself: ‘I feel like I’m in control of my story’

The fake heiress' who also went by Anna Delvey speaks about her time in prison, being back in New York and what's next

Anna Sorokin is sitting on a parapet on the roof of her fifth floor East Village walk-up, unperturbed by the sheer drop behind her - confidence, one might think, that came in handy during her rise from obscurity and then infamy as a fake New York City heiress known as Anna Delvey who captured Manhattan's glitzy art scene.

It has been six years since she was arrested in Malibu, California, and almost four since a jury found her guilty of second-degree grand larceny, theft of services and one count of first-degree attempted grand larceny. Now Sorokin is back in New York and making news again.
