She Fooled New York’s Elite: The Unbelievable Con Artistry of Anna Delvey

Her exploitation of luxury hotels was a key element of her elaborate fraud. She stayed at some of New York’s most prestigious stays, including the Beekman and 11 Howard, where she lived a life of luxury without footing the bill. Her modus operandi involved checking into these high-end establishments for extended periods, often under the pretense that she was awaiting a large wire transfer from overseas to settle her account.
