The bizarro hearing represents one of the few breaks Sorokin has caught after years of disgrace in court and the public eye. “I'm pleased that the judge awarded me my own files and casework so that my current attorneys can effectively help me.” “In fact, what she has done has potentially caused harm,” Sorokin added. In a statement to The Daily Beast, Sorokin stressed that Thomas “had a responsibility to her… and didn’t fulfill it,” pointing to allegations of Thomas intentionally not handing over case files detailed in her legal team’s motion. “If wants it FedExed, he can send me a label,” she added. After Thomas engaged in a tense argument with Kiesel, the judge ordered Thomas to FedEx all the files to Levin by August 5.Ĭalling Sorokin a “dangerous, devious little bitch,” Thomas claimed that Sorokin still owes her money-though Levin denies that allegation. Yet what should have been a routine procedural affair was anything but.Īttorney Duncan Levin told The Daily Beast that while Thomas initially told the court she did not have any documents in connection with Sorokin’s case, under questioning from the judge, Thomas admitted to having “boxes and boxes” of case files. Manhattan Judge Diane Kiesel ruled in her favor on Wednesday, ordering that her former attorney, Audrey Thomas, turn over the relevant paperwork. Sorokin’s current attorneys claim that the outcast socialite’s former lawyer has refused to turn over her court file despite countless requests for cooperation in their attempts to keep her on U.S. But on Wednesday morning, she finally landed a modest victory in her bid to stave off deportation and win an appeal in a hearing that descended into chaos. Anna “Delvey” Sorokin, the notorious Russian-born scammer convicted of fleecing New York City’s high society by pretending to be a German heiress, is mired in federal jail.
