What's funny is one of her victims will probably get a little rich off this since a publisher wants that victim to write a book about the whole scandal...
For those wondering how she pulled this off I’ve worked in several high-end establishments and I can totally see it. You are taught not to push or be overly persistent with high-end clients.
Uranus it’s still true, i visit dubai a lot with my family and there’s a huge difference in the way they treat us if we are dressed well and my parents are decked out in brands vs if we come in looking homeless LOL they usually almost always give us a hard time if we’re all just wearing t-shirt’s and sweatpants. its bullocks but its inevitable.
@@heist4420 I don't doubt that at all. Been on this planet for 27 years and I see so much judgement. I find most people (95%+) judge people strongly on what they look and sound like, and fail to see things for what they are or for what people have to offer.
She got too caught up in the "rich life" throwing parties and flexing at expensive hotels. Should've just focused on getting that loan and buying and turning that property into mad profit then enjoyed the fruits of her "labor". She did it backwards.
Not to give her credit or anything, but she could've been building up her clout to make her persona seem more believable. She certainly seemed to have had a targeted goal she was working towards.
You actually think she wanted to buy that property had the loan come through? She would scam you too then. She had no interest to buy any property, she would take that 22m and blow it.
Have you watched the show? Or any of her interviews? There's not one ounce of charm in that idiot. It's all just arrogance and delusion. Can't believe people were swept away by that. How tragic.
I feel like if she stayed focused on her goal she would have made her money back to pay back the banks. And this would be the most bizarre success story ever.
@@radstartrek I mean if she's stuck to her plan of buying that old church and converting it into a business she could have easily paid back the bank with the money she would have got from it.
The only issue I have with her is how her scamming ways ruined people's jobs. Probably poor people. She lost her focus in the end and stiffed too many of the wrong people.
Yeah it’s just like the Frye festival real people of the island lost a lot more than plane far and a three day weekend do ya shit but leave poor people who just want to work out of it
Anna seems to be the kind of person who just accepts that, “Well, money isn’t real. It’s paper, has no worth to me.” So she just plays a role as a socialite.
Anna seems like the type of person to end up ruining people's lives for her own benefit and absolutely nothing else. She stole other people's money (some just average folk living pay check to pay check, like wtf?), and yet money has no real meaning to her? It ONLY does. She's willing to sin for it. The social status was second. She cared more about being pampered than popular.
All she needed to "get away with it" was some starting capital. There is a whole world in which it is incredibly easy to make money - provided you have the buy-in fee, which is out of reach and out of sight for most people. Anna could see it, but she couldn't reach it.
you're right, sounds just like Netflix. They'd want to turn it into some female empowerment movie. "Gettin' one over on the man" and overlooking the real story. The woman she defrauded for a years' salary, the people fired from their jobs because this girl defrauded their businesses. She doesn't deserve a movie deal. She deserves to grow old, a nobody, and die in obscurity as a punishment for the harm she did to so many people. Not be glorified by Netflix and the NPCs who watch this type of movie they produce about worthless people, glorifying them just because they happen to be female. There are MANY MANY women who did great things that have been all but forgotten that Netflix can make movies about, to inspire great things in young women. I support that with all my heart, we need that. But not this convict, I say let her serve her time and deport her, bar her from speaking with Netflix's writers and representatives.
I didnt have my ID to get a ticket so the woman asked if I had facebook and if I could show her my page to prove how I was. My point is people's lives are so fake if your facebook shows you standing next to a new car people assembly you are rich.

World of the ultra-rich. Liars such as hers, with the skills to pull it off, is almost non-existent. Higher class services prioritize comfort. They don't want to discomfort the ultra-wealthy, and issues tend to be resolved more subtly, at their comfort. Last thing you want to do is to pester a VIP for issues, especially on their vacation, and they pay the money for such service. Supposedly, private yachts have an insane amount of engineering to make sure staff almost never comes into contact with the owner. All their needs taken care off, behind their back. So, potentially making a VIP angry on their vacation vs exceptionally low risk of an elaborated scammer.
imagine going to a third world country where youre mediocre/poor in a first world nation, but ultra rich in a 3rd world country. youll know how it feels liek to be rich for a second when u check in a cheap hotel in a 3rd world country. you're treated like royalty.
I had to bring my driver's license, ss card, and proof of residency just to get a freaking _debit card_ and this girl walks away with $100 grand like it ain't no thing. What. the. _hell._
She didn’t just “walk away” with 100 grand. She provided fake proof that she had accounts worth millions overseas, and because she’s a German native it was probably more difficult to fact check her background since she was only in the US for a short period. And besides being a great liar she was actually well educated about finances which convinced bank officials
Update: Sorokin was released from prison on February 11, 2021. In March 2021, she was taken back into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for overstaying her visa. She is currently being held in a New Jersey state prison awaiting deportation to Germany.

Jamie1200 Jennifer Lawrence is so overrated. To ME she’s not a good actress, her acting skills are meh. And Lindsay’s been sober for quite sometime now and she was basically the party angel in Hollywood, so she know the deal.

Not if what she did is considered a crime. You can't profit from book and movie deals in America if the book and movie is based on a crime you committed.
The most crazy part is how she could have gotten out in ONE YEAR by simply saying yes but chose the longer sentence because she needed her image. She’s definitely the main character in her story.
Talon Du Couteau But it is real and the reason why BOTH cases went their way was because they USED racial tensions during their time for the advantage. So it was because of the legitimate inequality of black people in the judicial system, they exploited it and tricked mindless black people into thinking they’re being charged racially. Check ya self 🙈🙈🙈the clownery jumped OUT
Talon Du Couteau *also we don’t get blamed on by White people for their faults because they’re not oppressed. We can blame white people of the past for institutional racism, slavery, segregation and apartheid. Personally I don’t feel like playing the victim because at the end of the day I’m going to make it to the top whether or not if I am black, but you can’t deny the history of white people. If racism were never introduced there never would’ve been an issue with inequalities but here we are. We’re making progress but there is still a few more baby steps.*
Rachel actually got her money back and even made a lot more from this ordeal with her book and from netflix among other things but still, getting scammed is the worst feeling ever.
Well yeah, she's a young woman and not terrible looking. Men will pay for her either way. Nothing as impressive as Catch Me If You Can. Hookers con men everyday.
Ive never heard of socialite like this but thats insane, i also watched a video from South china morning post about this graduating students who took socialite as a experiment, she became socialite for 21 days which she also recorded all of it, she got freepass to all luxury things, at the end, she concluded that all riches gets freepass while poor had to pay double
Well, she did enjoy the trip as well so technically she just paid for the trip in its entirety. Why would it have been ok for Anna to pay for the entire trip but it’s a travesty when Rachel pays. She shouldn’t have paid, simply put
@@danielflipsvegas1949 Because Rachel was lied to? Lmao imagine being asked to go on a the dream vacation with someone you believe has a vast amount of wealth that you've seen with your own eyes, only to come to find out that there was a "mix up." She was under the impression that she would get paid back because, as Rachel saw, Anna had A LOT of money. Also considering that Rachel was in a foreign country and was most likely put under a lot of pressure from the hotel that SOMEONE needed to pay. Quite honestly, probably most people would have done the same thing.

Going to jail is more detrimental to your life than just jail time (which is pretty horrible in its own right). You basically kill most career and financial opportunity options as most companies won't hire and banks may not loan to ex convicts
@John Anthony Jordan Belfort tried to commit suicide more than once and lost everything. Over a decade he managed to make a career out of his story but he hit rock bottom first. He's is a piece of shit though. And we'll see how well her Netflix series does. It really is the only option. I'm not saying she won't make money or a career from it but it's a risk
I think, the question is wrong. Every hotel I've been to, they have given me the room without any credit card, but paying in cash (in advance). So if you pay in advance there's no problem. But if you don't, and still get the room without giving a credit card, that's the thing.
@@AngelVazquez-xh1dh I dunno, many hotels I've been to have signage saying you must have a credit card on file to check into a room, probably to prevent situations like this.
I’d totally watch a Netflix series based on this craziness. EDIT OKAY!! Yes I know a Netflix thing has been done. I’m going to watch it. Didn’t see this post panning out like this 🤣😅😅
IMO if she wasn't a woman she would not have gotten away with it for so long. Even today women are generally given the benefit of the doubt and assumed to not be engaging in criminal activity, as women generally do not deceive and defraud at such levels of risk of prison but that is changing rapidly especially with high profile cases like this. It's also very common for girlfriends/daughters who have rich partners or families to be very blase about paying for goods and services, the assumption always being that there will always be a rich partner or family member who deals with their financials to pick up the bill later.
@@lessemo Frank Abagnale (Not Abagnalee not Abagnaylee but Abagnale!) comes to mind. Someone does not need a vagina to make fool of people. What you need is the confidence to pass as whoever you want to and be a freaking good liar.
I'm always so conflicted how I feel about this. On one hand stealing is wrong and I feel badly for those who were fired because of her, but she scammed the elite and something about that feels satisfying. But she was also stupid about it like if you were gonna pull this off you have to make it sustainable, you should've done what you said you wanted to do so you have an income stream as well
So i checked her Instagram, and apparently people are supporting her and taking her side. They also blamed Rachel and said shitty things about her. What kind of sorcery is this? Lol
Update: She had an interview with 60 minutes Australia after she was out and she doesn't feel any remorse, you'll see the interview here in youtube. She's so entitled and annoying.
@@notsomuchhere1387 Yes. Integrity is a part of one's behavior. And as we have seen, it is not the case here as this woman had zero integrity; which was why she got busted. Then again she wasn't true upper class anyway.
My friends tell me that I had a good TASTE and well BEHAVE but no MONEY, that's why none took a serious for. So I had a revelation : in this society is how much money you had that build your good taste and behavior in front of the other 😉
The only real crime here was sticking her "friend" Rachel with the Moroccan hotel bill. Otherwise, everything she did is exactly what wealthy families and companies do all the time, and the only thing she did wrong in that regard was not being part of The Club.
I remember watching a documentary on this and got ungodly amounts of cringe from this girl. She was so unremorseful and basically stated nothing she did was wrong. My god I've never wanted a couple to use protection more in my life so that this abomination was never created. Scamming that hardworking girl off a whole year's salary is criminal.
Sociopaths lack empathy and emotions. The fact that there are people cheering her is beyond me. I totally understand why her parents wanted nothing to do with her. Those kind of people can hardly be redeemed.
I wonder. I recently saw a Frank A. speak and saying that he did not get any money from the movies, plays and all of the commercial stuff they did about his life. Of course, he made a deal with the FBI, so maybe that is why.
jennifer lawrence is going to make the money, not her ahahahah yeah right, as if that anna would suddently become an actress after all her bullshit... hahahahaha
@@BrimstoneMoth Not as an actress, but I have a feeling she has to consent to using her name, life's story and plus, I'm sure she can provide a lot of insight, which would be valuable for Netflix.. $$$ And I'm not even talking about the book deal... ;)
Don't see what so impressive about that. The entire Kardashian clan convinced everyone they were celebrities for no reason, and they're still doing it!
The only one worth it in my view is Kyle. She built a makeup empire even though she had millions to begin with. She literally has more money then everyone in her family combined now lol.
i am actually impressed about how she was able to blend in so nicely could have had investments to pay of the banks atleast . But yeah if she told me her story in person i would applaud her actually
She got too caught up in the "rich life" throwing parties and flexing at expensive hotels. Should've just focused on getting that loan and buying and turning that property into mad profit then enjoyed the fruits of her "labor". She did it backwards.
She never had any money though... she got everything for free, or by having a "friend" pay for it. It's not like she had a stash and just kept blowing it on private jets instead of investing... she had nothing, so she was never gonna be able to pay for that property. Maybe if she managed to get a bank or investor to give her a couple million upfront, but they were smart enough not to trust her... unlike the various hotels, restaurants and "friends" who were willing to spot her a few thousand here and there, but obviously not enough to buy a property in NYC.
@@TheMistyBlueLounge She had money from loans, which she could have brought property with, then use her social skills to generate business and more money.
I remember reading that too. Where she learned from people how simple and easy it is to assume a dead person’s identity, clean a bank account and all that. I’ll be surprised if she’s not in the news a decade from now for stealing millions from the richest people alive.
@@likira111 Actually, if you read her story on "The Cut" she wasn't a toxic friend at all. She only stole from greedy rich people and would give her friends and the poor some of the money. She became best friends with a hotel receptionist named Nef and promised to take care of her if she dumped her toxic boyfriend.
Except the dude was bilingual, had disguises with well made stories alongside them, and after his capture and imprisonment, he became a security advisor for the FBI and numerous banks to catch check forgers.

The idea is that they (the prosecuting party) can avoid the trial taking far longer than it should (since Anna is apparently a very persuasive person) in exchange for letting her off easier. The lengths to which they go to get that plea deal definitely don't seem right, though. What I'm most confused about is why Anna seemed to gain a conscience and not accept the plea deal...or, maybe she was just continuing to talk out her ass and essentially lost the opportunity.
naynay sploogle of course. Fuck the middle class . The only people who matter to the justice system are ones that have the color of true equality and fair-justice. GREEN!!
she never signed a contract, with out a contract theres not much the courts can do. anna asked her for money, she gave it, no one was robbed or forced and with out a contract there are no intentions to create legal relations and nothing enforceable in court. atleast thats the law in england, might different in america but not sure, it sucks, never loan a friend money with out a written contract stating amount, how much to be paid and how often and when the total amount needs to be paid by.

for how long? A year? Seems like a very short lived run that ended up catastrophicaly bad for her. She has a huge debt, no reputation to get a job, no bank or investment firm will even touch her, and has to spend 5 years in prison. She is the definition of stupid

It's just custom with wealthy customers. If you assume they're good for it, it's much more profitable to be overly nice to them than to be pushy. That way they'll tell all their rich friends about your establishment.
Idk, she doesn’t look very charismatic or rich to me. She looks more like a sad looking librarian or something. Can’t believe she got away with all that. Amazing.
Less about her physical appearance, and more about the words that left her mouth. She must have been a mad smooth talker because I know stunning women that couldn’t pull something like this off.

Doubt they just sell you a house saying "oh sorry i left my credit card at home" "sure no problem, we write it on your name at once".. naaah, i doubt she would have ever made it that far. All this really is because idiots were working at where ever she was.
@@TheWormzerjr Nope, the state did not "give her more time for exercing her right", rather it gave her exactly the punishment that was appropriate. The DA's office did exactly the opposite of what you said, it offered her less time in prison in exchange for waiving her right to a trial, with the intent of speeding up the process and ensuring the efficiency of the criminal justice system. It's a totally legitimate instrument that is well established and has been used countless of times for (at least) more than a century.
@Kallus Garnet- I can get on board with that.....under the condition that she receives nothing in compensation because it will be used to pay her fines, paying Rachel back, and perhaps even to be used in creating a foundation to educate about scams like this and/or advocacy for victims. The actor portraying her should be Seth Rogen or Willem Dafoe. (Google them in drag! 😂😂😂) No female actors or social icons should be cast. She need only be informed of these things once it’s too late. Oh!!! And when she asks for her income from the film, flip the script on her and say the same thing she told the bank, “I have a loan coming for 22 million. I just need $100,000, and when that loan comes in, I’ll be able to pay you back right away.”
I was thinking more of Di Caprio in Gatsby. Well based on the intro of the video. It sounds like how people were guessing where Gatsby's money came from.

I don't get how this is possible. I can't even book a hotel room without fronting a credit card, but yet she was able to live in hotels and even ride a private jet..... Aren't the hotels asking for a credit card to rich people??

She also got $320k for selling the rights on that Netflix movie adaptation, so if you account for all she has to pay in fines and restitution, she actually made $95k out of this

She stole other people's money (some just average folk living pay check to pay check, like wtf?), and yet money has no real meaning to her? It ONLY does. She's willing to sin for it. The social status was second. She cared more about being pampered than popular.
so a real not brainwashed human?

Netflix... We are on It
"catch me if you can"
you're right, sounds just like Netflix. They'd want to turn it into some female empowerment movie. "Gettin' one over on the man" and overlooking the real story. The woman she defrauded for a years' salary, the people fired from their jobs because this girl defrauded their businesses.
She doesn't deserve a movie deal. She deserves to grow old, a nobody, and die in obscurity as a punishment for the harm she did to so many people. Not be glorified by Netflix and the NPCs who watch this type of movie they produce about worthless people, glorifying them just because they happen to be female.
There are MANY MANY women who did great things that have been all but forgotten that Netflix can make movies about, to inspire great things in young women. I support that with all my heart, we need that. But not this convict, I say let her serve her time and deport her, bar her from speaking with Netflix's writers and representatives.
This girl I like...
She's not big enough. Hundreds of thousands isn't enough for a movie

And now she's writing a memoir about her experience. And they're already creating a series about her story. It's basically catch me if you can.

How do you check into a hotel without showing proof of a credit card? I can’t even get past the front desk without an ID!
Exactly
World of the ultra-rich. Liars such as hers, with the skills to pull it off, is almost non-existent. Higher class services prioritize comfort. They don't want to discomfort the ultra-wealthy, and issues tend to be resolved more subtly, at their comfort. Last thing you want to do is to pester a VIP for issues, especially on their vacation, and they pay the money for such service. Supposedly, private yachts have an insane amount of engineering to make sure staff almost never comes into contact with the owner. All their needs taken care off, behind their back.
So, potentially making a VIP angry on their vacation vs exceptionally low risk of an elaborated scammer.

She didn’t just “walk away” with 100 grand. She provided fake proof that she had accounts worth millions overseas, and because she’s a German native it was probably more difficult to fact check her background since she was only in the US for a short period. And besides being a great liar she was actually well educated about finances which convinced bank officials

The way she was represented as a cartoon had me dead
Easily could have bought properties with the money and payed everyone back and made more than she will ever need in her life
She got too caught up in the "rich life" throwing parties and flexing at expensive hotels. Should've just focused on getting that loan and buying and turning that property into mad profit then enjoyed the fruits of her "labor". She did it backwards.
She didn’t have much time though
She never had any money though... she got everything for free, or by having a "friend" pay for it. It's not like she had a stash and just kept blowing it on private jets instead of investing... she had nothing, so she was never gonna be able to pay for that property. Maybe if she managed to get a bank or investor to give her a couple million upfront, but they were smart enough not to trust her... unlike the various hotels, restaurants and "friends" who were willing to spot her a few thousand here and there, but obviously not enough to buy a property in NYC.

dont get me wrong, yeah, business are bullshit, rah rah rah, better equality and all that jazz, yeah, we all know the lines, no one actually cares, if they did people would stop perpetuating the systum that allows this happen but people are happier complaining online and paying in to that same system blindly out of convience, because we like 1 day shipping, we like being able to order food all hours of the night and tracking the delivery people, we all do it, either change or stop bitching about it, this is a video about a regular chick who committed mass fraud in a get rich quick scheme, it has nothing to do with corporate empires and social iniquity, that fucking journalist was still on 60k a year, people are literally starving in the street. go do something about that before getting all outraged that some new york journalist got scammed.
wow.. that girl lived full of her life without spending a single penny by her own
Now she is paying the consequences
for how long? A year? Seems like a very short lived run that ended up catastrophicaly bad for her. She has a huge debt, no reputation to get a job, no bank or investment firm will even touch her, and has to spend 5 years in prison. She is the definition of stupid
Move back to Germany lol
and she will live another 10+ years for free in a US prison.
That lady was good. She rented an expensive hotel room w/o a credit card. I couldn't even try STARZ for a week w/o a credit card.
Hahaha so true.
😂🤣
lasheika Jose LOLOL i’m dead 😵
I couldn't do Amazon Wardrobe without a credit card. They won't accept debit cards at all 🙃
The video doesn't explain how she did this. How did she manage to get them to give her a hotel room?
it's crazy that everything would've worked out if she'd just bought that real estate earlier on
this kinda reminds me of catch me if you can, that's why Hollywood eager to make film of it I think lol
THATS THE FIRST THING INTHOUGHT ESPECIALLY WITH THE FAKE CHECK PART
Was thinking the same thing, excellent movie too
Oceans 8 did it.
I think that was a realy story aswell
yesss, and that was such a good movie
Well, at least she lived American dream before being deported 🤷♀️😂
It's a privilege to be in a country with documents...but people sometimes don't appreciate and do bad things including the ones with tourist visa are the one who overstays in America and they have money in their country..they are very greedy...they should take away that benefit for lying and overstay..
Yeah...
@@mental_os work work and work..lol
im so confused...how did she even manage to hire a lawyer and a fashion coordinator if she was broke??
She still had the cash
As a man, I can give you at least Two good reasons.
@Carpee Cat Because as a man, I like boobs. It's not to the exclusion of anyone else if you read carefully. But don't look too far into it - you might hurt yourself.
She apparently borrowed money from her rich friends saying shed pay them back
@Sunny Delight lol "oik oik?" If I'm a pig, you're a fucking moron lol.
I can't even check into a hostel without making full payments beforehand. How did this happen? How are people so "smart" and yet gullible at the same time? Maybe they needed this lady to come along and open their eyes.
It's just custom with wealthy customers. If you assume they're good for it, it's much more profitable to be overly nice to them than to be pushy. That way they'll tell all their rich friends about your establishment.
Idk, she doesn’t look very charismatic or rich to me. She looks more like a sad looking librarian or something. Can’t believe she got away with all that. Amazing.
Less about her physical appearance, and more about the words that left her mouth. She must have been a mad smooth talker because I know stunning women that couldn’t pull something like this off.
The accent probably really helped. People in the US are suckers for accents.
DONT JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER. Come on now. You should know better. You have my dumb comment of the day. congrats. idiot
Socialite looks like that, skinny and so so fucking white
I think this is a classic case of white privilege, and I don’t use that term often. And those people and establishment were foolish enough to fall for it.
Those hotel employees who let her in without verification were stupid.
Yeah. Imagine letting anyone else do that. Its possible they didnt want to get on the bad side of a celebrity tho
@@TESkyrimizer Anna Delvey wasn't even a celebrity, lol
This is not the first and certainly not the last...in gilded times people let their guard down.
The fear of losing a job is what makes this to happen.
@@RaunySilva yep, they lost their jobs because they let these things happen out of fear of losing jobs
Not sorry for them 💁🏽♀️ do your research and run background checks like you would for someone who came in in plain clothes
F-in true!
Dont forget if you turn up with the wrong skin color
@@mariahetszaz8567 The meals are overpriced anyway
Or as they would have to ANY person of colour.
@@Jay.Laurent Is this a skin colour thing now because it happenend in the US? Really strange. If it'd happened in Germany, anyone who would ask for a 22 million loan would have been background checked.
I love how people cheer "iconic" sociopaths till they're the actual victims
Word, people are so naive
Ikr so fricking annoying
hahah exactly!
Rachel was never paid back?? Bro, that’s insane. That was a whole year and a half of work for her completely down the drain in a couple of days
thats what happens when u hang with white people
@Christabel marie When's the TV show even coming out? I heard they officialised the cast months ago
Her insurance company paid he back.
@@edt973nj what the hell does race have to do with anything? Racists looking at everything through race goggles

K but did Rachel ever get her money back?
Fuck no she’s gotta pay😂🤣🤣

only the rich asholes get their money back maybe. i think they dont even care. its a good example how stupid rich people are.
"But Rachel Williams said that all wasn’t lost as she was able to recoup her losses, selling her story to HBO for $35,000 and inking a book deal with Simon & Schuster worth $300,000." From the New York Post
Waiting on the exaggerated Hollywood wolf of wall street type film on her story...
If someone can get a hold of here, she can appeal the sentence. if the state offers you a certain amount of time and then gives you more time for exercising your right to trial she would win that appeal and only get the max of the first year
This girl is really intelligent, I think she'd make a live dictating conferences and on the jet set by selling books and movies about her story. She basically can become millionaire by being a fraud and that a really interesting phenomenon in today's society
i wonder tho, "if that venture was successful...." how would she have bought that house? Sure nice job firing those retards from the hotel, for being idiots, but who would have paid for it? Doubt they just sell you a house saying "oh sorry i left my credit card at home" "sure no problem, we write it on your name at once".. naaah, i doubt she would have ever made it that far. All this really is because idiots were working at where ever she was.
XenoEagle it said if she was successful, because she was trying to get that huge loan remember?
@@TheWormzerjr Nope, the state did not "give her more time for exercing her right", rather it gave her exactly the punishment that was appropriate. The DA's office did exactly the opposite of what you said, it offered her less time in prison in exchange for waiving her right to a trial, with the intent of speeding up the process and ensuring the efficiency of the criminal justice system. It's a totally legitimate instrument that is well established and has been used countless of times for (at least) more than a century.
To the animator(s)- Great job! Really added something to the storytelling instead of just being a footnote. I like that style!
She was like Leonardo di Caprio in catch me if you can :D
she needs a film
@Kallus Garnet- I can get on board with that.....under the condition that she receives nothing in compensation because it will be used to pay her fines, paying Rachel back, and perhaps even to be used in creating a foundation to educate about scams like this and/or advocacy for victims.
The actor portraying her should be Seth Rogen or Willem Dafoe. (Google them in drag! 😂😂😂) No female actors or social icons should be cast. She need only be informed of these things once it’s too late.
Oh!!! And when she asks for her income from the film, flip the script on her and say the same thing she told the bank, “I have a loan coming for 22 million. I just need $100,000, and when that loan comes in, I’ll be able to pay you back right away.”
I was thinking more of Di Caprio in Gatsby. Well based on the intro of the video. It sounds like how people were guessing where Gatsby's money came from.
@@penguin902 Gatsby had actual income though, even if it was illegal.
DEADisBEAUTIFUL EPIC!! You could totally be the director if this film!!
Hahaha this girl took out a loan for a loan. That’s some loanception stuff right there!
nice onee
the truly wealthy do it all the time. the entire economy is a house of cards and the rest of us are the help who are allowed to shop at the company store.
that is just a ponzi sceme, the original guy who did that live in the early 20th century.
Sounds like a Ponzi scheme to me.
the federal reserve is a ponzi scheme
2019's Version of "Catch me if you can".
literally, she was even writing fraudulent checks!
Basically
Girls generation ?
EFT Random or “Color me Kubrick”
That was a good one. Wonder if she watched that movie and got her ideals from that?
I don't get how this is possible. I can't even book a hotel room without fronting a credit card, but yet she was able to live in hotels and even ride a private jet..... Aren't the hotels asking for a credit card to rich people??
So, live like a king for two years, but then you have to serve four years in jail. Not a bad deal actually.
Yes, very good deal, a person can live 100 years in complete poverty and their experience would pale in comparison to even 1 day in the life of a monarch.
Wait but remember the fines and everything owed
😂😂😂
Hi ree
Plus she’s getting deported back to Germany
Good thing she didn't lick some ice cream in the store or she would be looking at 20 years instead of 15 in prison
The icecream licker deserves 40.
Copper Azide supposedly a girl with the flu went around licking ice cream in a grocery store because she wanted to get people sick. not 100% sure if the flu part was true but what is true is that she did go around licking the ice cream and putting back. it’s really gross and there’s been videos of her and other people doing it too.
GaLe FoRcE no she doesn’t. Especially since many rapists don’t even end up doing time. That’s stupid.
@@yo-rm9vu She actually admitted to having the flu and wanting to spread it.

that's The American Dream
That's classic in Europe...I would say more often than in the States...especially these days...
"...right into prison"
@@petrsson Actually that's classic in America, ever heard of Elisabeth Holmes?
@@allocater2 i was thinking the same... The Kardashians, Elizabeth Holmes and now this....
Came here to say that she has been released from prison.
She also got $320k for selling the rights on that Netflix movie adaptation, so if you account for all she has to pay in fines and restitution, she actually made $95k out of this
@@rustictango6933 if she can invest, I'd say it was worth the while
The most interesting thing about this is that if she did succeed, she could have been rich and actually paid everything back
But she wouldn’t have paid anything back. She’s anti social, she feels no remorse, she’s a con artist…
She wouldn't have paid jack-sh*t back.
Thats called a Ponzi scheme. Usually backfires.
Besides, she only would have paid into things that she thought would increase her profit in the end.
Look into how d Trump made his money. They never pay back the little guys they step on. They're psychopaths, Narcissists.
duh
Just because she had an idea doesn't mean she could execute it
I've watched Gossip Girl, nothing shocks me anymore
@w Omg YES
so she basically cheated society’s system 😂 love that
Unless when it happens to you.
