Anna Sorokin: Inventing Anna
In 2019, a Manhattan jury convicted her of several financial crimes including theft of a financial jet and grand larceny. She was released for six weeks after completing her criminal sentence in February 2021, and then detained for overstaying her visa. She holds a German passport and chose to be imprisoned in the States over returning to Germany.
Where is she now? A judge ruled last week that she could spend the remainder of her sentence under house arrest under the condition that she wear an ankle monitor and stay off social media and away from electronics, as reported by Bloomberg.
