In a bid to rehabilitate her image, convicted scammer Anna Sorokin is getting into NFTs.
The “Anna Card” went live today, following a 2,000 item NFT mint yesterday, which can now be purchased for 0.1 ETH at press time. NFTs are blockchain-based tokens that show ownership over digital or physical assets.
While still in federal custody, Sorokin told ຂ່າວ NBC in an interview Thursday that she is making NFT ຂອງ for her biggest fans.
“We are creating a ‘Reinventing Anna’ NFT project,” Sorokin said.
Russian-born Anna Sorokin returned to the international spotlight this year after Netflix released a miniseries based on the true story of Sorokin’s exploits, in which she posed as a German heiress while being courted by a hungry journalist (Jessica Pressler wrote Sorokin’s story for ວາລະສານ New York in 2018). The show was Netflix’s biggest hit ຕົ້ນປີນີ້.
Now that her prison sentence is over, Sorokin is currently being held in an ICE immigration detention center for overstaying her U.S. visa.
“I would not encourage anyone else to follow my footsteps,” she told ຂ່າວ NBC, referencing the actions that landed her in prison.
But Sorokin has been developing her NFT scheme while detained. The “Anna Card” NFTs will reportedly unlock exclusive livestreams, phone calls, items from Anna, or in-person meetings depending on the tier purchased.
Three “ultra platinum” NFTs will be the tier that unlocks an in-person meeting with Sorokin and personal items from her, ຂ່າວ NBC ລາຍງານ.
When asked why anyone should buy anything from her given her track record, Sorokin believes she changed a lot in her 20s.
“I changed so much in a way,” she said, arguing that “I’m not like this vicious scamming person.”
Sorokin added that moving forward, she wants to do things by the books and focus on making “something legal.”
But buyer beware—Sorokin isn’t known for keeping promises.
