Anna Sorokin reacts during her sentencing at Manhattan State Supreme Court New York, US, May 9, 2019. Prosecutors say Sorokin stole $275,000 from others while pretending she had a fortune of $67 million through multiple acts of glamorous grifting in 2016 and 2017. Prosecutors pointed to her use of a stylist to pick out outfits for her trial as evidence that Sorokin lacked remorse.
Moments later, the judge waved a letter of support from three of Sorokin's relatives, saying she did not know for sure if that document, too, was a forgery.Prosecutors say Sorokin used forged bank statements to seek a loan of $22 million from a bank to fund a private arts club she wanted to open in Manhattan. She managed to get a $100,000 loan, which prosecutors said she never repaid.
Sorokin's daily looks became the subject of a dedicated Instagram account with thousands of followers, which the judge nodded to in her sentencing remarks.
