A woman who spent years posing as a German heiress before being convicted of defrauding businesses and friends out of about $200,000 (£144,000) says she is looking for love.
Anna Sorokin, who posed as Anna Delvey for years, had only just been released from prison on February 12, when she posted on Instagram : "Looking for a boyfriend."
The fake heiress served served just two of her 4 to 12 year sentence for theft of services and grand larceny.
Comments on the 30-year-old's post have questioned her motives in looking for a boyfriend so soon after her release from prison.
One said: "You’re too much", reports the Daily Star.
Another added: "Good luck, just don’t lie to him!"
"Try getting a job first," said a third.
Russian-born Sorokin has made the most of her social media account since her release.
In her first Instagram post, she posted a picture of herself wearing sunglasses in bed and said: "Prison is exhausting, you wouldn't know."
Sorokin duped New York City banks and members of the elite by pretending to be a German heiress with a $60 million trust fund.
Her release comes after she is said to have apologised at a parole hearing six months ago.
At her hearing, she reportedly said: "I just want to say that I'm really ashamed and I'm really sorry for what I did.
"I completely understand that a lot of people suffered when I thought I was not doing anything wrong."
Netflix is understood to have paid £231,000 ($320,000) for the rights to her story. It will be adapted into a TV series by the streaming giant, which will lay bare the elaborate fraud scheme.
The series is set to be produced by Shonda Rhimes, who previously worked on hit TV shows Grey's Anatomy and Scandal.
Sorokin has reportedly said she will use the money to pay off the banks she scammed.
