30. Netflix
Anna is currently awaiting trial and there is going to be a Netflix series made based on her life. One of the judges in the case has said that Anna is more concerned with who will be playing her in the series than her crimes. He added that she had zero remorse for what she did.
“This place is not that bad at all actually,” Anna said in regards to being held at Rikers. “People seem to think it’s horrible, but I see it as like, this sociological experiment.” Even her lawyer said that Anna appears to be doing very well in prison. So how did she manage to swindle so many people?
31. How She Did It
Experts on Anna’s case believe Anna Sorokin allegedly scammed people and numerous banks and hotels out of around $275,000. She allegedly used falsified documents to acquire loans from banks. Those documents showed that she had millions of dollars in banks in Europe.
She also floated bad checks between banks and took out lines of credit that she had no way of paying back. Perhaps her plan was to pay it all back after her business took off the ground. But that would be wishful thinking.
