20. Payment Problems Abound
Not only was Anna Delvey having cash-flow issues, she had a much larger issue on her hands. She still hadn’t paid for her stay at 11 Howard. In fact, they didn’t even have a credit card on file for her.
The hotel had been treating Anna Delvey as a valued guest, being that she was a German heiress and a client of the hotel’s owner (the owner owned the location she was attempting to purchase) so the hotel agreed to accept a wire transfer for payment. But after a month and a half, still no payment had been made.
21. Over Her Head
The hotel’s manager asked Neff to deal with the delicate issue of Anna’s bill, considering that they were close friends after all. Anna owed the hotel around $30,000. Neff still believed that Anna was good for the money and went to talk to her about it.
Anna promised that a wire transfer was on the way from the bank. But what she didn’t reveal to Neff was how much she was in over her head. Things were falling apart for Anna. But then a few days later something amazing happened.
