Anna Delvey Released on Bail Bond: Embattled Socialite Banned From Doing THIS
Anna Delvey became a popular name over the past few months after the Netflix series titled "Inventing Anna" was released and became one of the streaming platform's biggest shows. Today, the embattled socialite will be released from prison on a bail bond.
According to E! Online, the fake heiress will be leaving the custody of a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Center in New York months after being detained.
Delvey, whose real name is Anna Sorokin, has been staying in the center since March of last year as she and her legal team fights deportation after she overstayed in the United States using her visa.
Her legal counsel, John Sandweg, issued a statement to the outlet, saying an immigration judge granted her release after 17 months of detention.
However, she will be under supervision as there are many limitations to her release. "This ruling does not mean that Anna will get a free pass," he said.
The lawyer clarified that the socialite will still face deportation proceedings and would be monitored by the ICE.
Newsbreak reported that Delvey was granted a $10,000 bail bond and released on 24/7 house arrest. She will be banned from using social media throughout her time outside prison.
Her other lawyer, Duncan Levin, also released a statement, saying "the judge rightfully recognized that Anna is not a danger to the community."

Who Is Anna Delvey?
Anna Delvey claimed to be a German Heiress throughout her stay in New York City and became one of the most popular socialites within the city's elite circle.
She reportedly had fake bank accounts to convince banks of giving her loans for her dream private members club called "Anna Delvey Foundation."
The fake heiress lived in several luxurious hotels around the big apple and she would always use her credit card until she was cut off by banks as she failed to pay her bills.
On October 3, 2017, she was finally arrested. Delvey was accused of fraud, larceny, theft of services, and attempted grand larceny.
Despite being sentenced to prison for 4 to 12 years, she was released last year on parole but was re-arrested due to her visa.
Even though she stayed behind bars, Delvey was able to work with different media companies for a docuseries, a Netflix deal, podcast appearances, and many more.
