Waiting for my dream girl

[a9127]

Shit. Just found this out today. I thought things were going really well between us too...

From the New York Daily News:

A phony German “heiress” who lived as a Manhattan socialite by allegedly stealing from banks, credit card companies and her upper-crust friends threw a temper tantrum Friday because she didn’t want to wear jail clothes to court, her lawyer said.

Finally — at 11:30 a.m., two hours after the start of the regular session in Manhattan Supreme Court — Anna Sorokin appeared at the defense table, clad in black pants with a white button-down blouse, with the cuffs on both her blouse and pants rolled up.

Sorokin, 28, was also upset about the treatment she’s been getting on Rikers Island, her lawyer, Todd Spodek, said.

Sorokin’s issues held up the testimony of Ryan Salem, a City National Bank employee who — based on bogus financial information Sorokin allegedly provided — considered the young woman for a $22 million loan to open an event space on Park Ave. South.

Sorokin allegedly scored $275,000 from banks, credit card companies and other victims by playing the role of a wealthy socialite born into means.

Spodek, on cross-examination, grilled Salem about whether he was really ready to dispense that type of business loan on behalf of the then 25-year-old self-proclaimed trust-funder.

Sorokin is accused of reporting to the bank that she was worth as much as $60 million.
