A close friend who turns out to be the most prolific grifter in New York City...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This is the true story of \u003cb\u003eAnna Delvey\u003c\/b\u003e, the fake heiress whose dizzying deceit and elaborate con-artistry deceived the Soho hipster scene before her ruse was finally and dramatically exposed. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e After meeting through mutual friends, the 'Russian heiress' Anna Delvey and Rachel DeLoache Williams soon became inseparable. Theirs was an intoxicating world of endless excess: high dining, personal trainer sessions, a luxury holiday ... and Anna footed almost every bill. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But after Anna's debit card was declined in a Moroccan medina whilst on holiday in a five-star luxury resort, Rachel began to suspect that her increasingly mysterious friend was not all she seemed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This is the incredible story of how Anna Sorokin conned the high-rollers of the NYC social scene and convinced her close friend of an entirely concocted fantasy, the product of falsified bank documents, bad cheques and carefully edited online photos.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Written by Rachel DeLoache Williams, the \u003ci\u003eVanity Fair\u003c\/i\u003e photography editor who believed Anna's lies before helping the police to track her down (fittingly, deciphering Anna's location using Instagram), this is \u003ci\u003eCatch Me If You Can\u003c\/i\u003e with Instagram filters. Between Anna, Fyre Festival's Billy McFarland (Anna even tried to scam Billy) and Elizabeth Holmes, whose start-up app duped the high and mighty of Silicon Valley, this is the year of the scammer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e*Anna stood a high-profile trial in New York that has been followed voraciously by the media. She was found guilty of theft of services and grand larceny, facing up to 15 years in prison. The trial ended on 25th April.*\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxfordbookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44787402014899,"sku":"9781787478299","price":799.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/4164\/4723\/files\/blk_imp_17477371629781787478299.jpg?v=1762818919","url":"https:\/\/oxfordbookstore.com\/products\/my-friend-anna-the-true-story-of-the-fake-heiress-of-new-york-city","provider":"Oxfordbookstore ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
