#ANNA DELVEY WITH CELEBRITIES FREE#

Last April, she worked with artists to organise a group show titled Free Anna Delvey, which included one of her works, listed for $10,000. Sorokin has been promoting her own art, from jail, in other ways, including through a print drop of works “made with correction facility pens and pencils on smuggled watercolor paper”. “I’d love to be given an opportunity for people not to just dismiss me as like a quote-unquote scammer and just see what I’m going to do next,” Sorokin says in an interview with NBC. Despite the reference in its name, Reinventing Anna is Sorokin’s attempt to pivot from this criminal past. The so-called “Soho Grifter” was convicted in 2019 of grand larceny and sentenced to four-to-12 years in prison but was released last year on good behaviour before getting picked up by federal law enforcement. The project’s title nods to Inventing Anna, a fictionalised Netflix mini-series that chronicles Sorokin’s elaborate schemes of borrowing large amounts of money and forging bank statements as she floated between luxury hotels. A representative for Sorokin tells Page Six that these physical tokens range from stationary to signed T-shirts and underwear. An elite group of “top holders” will have a chance to speak on the phone with her and receive sketches drawn by the con artist as well as personal items from her time behind bars. Designed by alternative comics creator Johnny Ryan, the first drop depicts a woman behind bars who tells a visitor, “You look poor.”īuyers will also receive access to Sorokin “via exclusive live streams and other online and metaverse events”, according to the website.

The 10 NFTs she minted are images that depict a credit card illustrated with scenes from her life. Sorokin, a Russian national who between 20 posed as a German heiress with a $60m inheritance, is currently in custody after overstaying her visa. “I see this first drop as an opportunity to directly connect with my audience and to take charge of the narrative that’s been largely outside of my control, until now,” Sorokin states on a website that promotes the project, titled Reinventing Anna. Sorokin announced Thursday that she is launching her own collection of NFTs that come with additional perks, including direct access to the fraudster.

Anna Sorokin, better known as Anna Delvey, the scammer who was convicted in 2019 for swindling New York socialites and defrauding banks, has entered the market for non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
