German national and pretend heiress Anna Sorokin has been found guilty of theft of services and grand larceny, having conned her way into receiving more than $200,000 in the way of goods and luxury accommodation and travel. She will now serve between 4-12 years less the 18 months or so already served in the notorious Rikers Island jail.\u00a0 Although it is impossible not to condemn her actions, which read more like a delusional social media influenced millennials fantasy, the sentence seems a bit extreme given she will also have to pay back all the money ($199,000)and a $24,000 fine on top.<\/p>\n

Still, she didn’t really help herself too much by working with a stylist, Anastasia Walker, to create her courtroom look during the trial! This may yet pay dividends though as Netflix is reportedly optioning her story. Now that should be something to see!<\/p>\n
