New York — Fake heiress Anna "Delvey" Sorokin remains in custody in the United States, U.S. immigration authorities said Tuesday, despite reports she was about to be deported to Germany.
Sorokin, who was jailed in 2019 for scamming hundreds of thousands of dollars from hotels, banks and friends and who inspired a hit series on Netflix, "remains in ICE custody pending removal," the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency said.
There were reports Monday that Sorokin, who carried out her scams under the assumed name of "Anna Delvey," was about to be extradited to Germany on a Frankfurt-bound flight.
