Journalist Jessica Pressler first broke the sensational story of Anna Sorokin—the mysterious "heiress" who scammed her way into Manhattan's elite circles. After moving to New York in 2013, 19-year-old Sorokin transformed herself into Anna Delvey, living a life of luxury funded entirely by fraud. In this interview, Jessica reveals how Anna deceived banks, hotels, and even her closest friends, and describes what it was like seeing her investigative reporting adapted into the hit Netflix series "Inventing Anna."
