Scammed by my friend, the fake heiress
Rachel DeLoache Williams was conned out of tens of thousands of dollars by Anna Sorokin.
Rachel DeLoache Williams ended up in the midst of a high profile court case in the United States. It all centred on Anna Sorokin - someone she had considered to be a close friend but who had conned her out of tens of thousands of dollars. Anna had tricked New York city鈥檚 elite into thinking she was a wealthy German heiress, when in fact she was a fraudster with no trust fund at all. Anna was found guilty on a number of charges including grand larceny and Rachel was a key witness in the trial.
