The Manhattan jury found Anna Sorokin guilty of four counts of theft of services, three counts of grand larceny and one count of attempted grand larceny following a monthlong trial that attracted international attention. She was acquitted of one count of grand larceny and one count of attempted grand larceny.
She claimed her father was a diplomat or an oil baron and went to extraordinary lengths to have others pay her way. Prosecutors alleged that she promised one friend an all-expenses paid trip to Morocco but then stuck her with the $62,000 bill -- Sorokin was acquitted of that charge. Spodek insisted that Sorokin planned to settle her six-figure debts and was merely "buying time." He portrayed her as an ambitious entrepreneur who had merely gotten in over her head but had no criminal intent.
How do you bilk a bank? Giving a pass to 'financial geniuses' whose incompetence costs us jobs should stop. When Moody downgrades an institution or government the press should find out why and hold them accountable. We pay these guys megabucks.
Do banks ever exercise due diligence?
She looks real enough for me.
The name “Sorokin” doesn’t sound too German.
Hope she enjoyed it playing the gig 🧐🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😱
