Read our privacy policy Fake German heiress Anna Sorokin has been released from US immigration custody, her attorney has confirmed. Sorokin was required to post a 10,000 dollar bond, provide a residential address where she will stay for the duration of her immigration case and refrain from social media posting. Using the name Anna Delvey, Sorokin manoeuvred her way into elite New York social circles by passing herself off as a socialite with a 67-million-dollar fortune overseas, prosecutors said. Prosecutors said Sorokin falsified records and lied to get banks to lend her money, luxury hotels to let her stay and well-heeled Manhattanites to cover plane tickets and other expenses for her, stealing 275,000 dollars in total.
