A fake socialite who posed as a German billionaire heiress has appeared in a New York court looking disheveled as she prepares to face trial on charges of defrauding hotels, banks and friends out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Anna Sorokin, also known as her alias Anna Delvey, appeared briefly in Manhattan Supreme Court on Monday. The 27-year-old was dressed in her beige prison sweats and let her hair fall over her face as she sat next to her lawyer during the hearing with her hands cuffed behind her back. Sorokin made headlines after it emerged she had been posing as Anna Delvey - the heiress daughter of a fictitious billionaire Russian magnate. She is accused of duping elite circles in Manhattan from 2013 until 2018.
