Anna Delvey is somehow still in the U.S., specifically an ICE detention center in New York, after being arrested for overstaying her visa. She was supposed to be deported back to Germany months ago, but is somehow still here. I guess ICE doesn’t prioritize deportations of European nationals. Anyway, Anna attempted a manufactured viral moment by announcing her new (fake) law firm, Delvey & Daughters, to be called Double D for short. This has to be a joke, right?
Despite having no legal training, and still being held at a correctional facility, Delvey announced her new law firm Delvey & Daughters – ‘Double D’ for short – in a public statement on Thursday.
The firm is payable through Dogecoin and can be reached through 1-800-BETTER-CALL-ANNA, a play on the Breaking Bad spinoff series Better Call Saul which chronicles a crooked attorney.
While Delvey’s law firm announcement is clearly as fake as her German heiress claims, it appears to be a dig at her legal representation.
In her statement, she admits that ‘jail is not a great look for a lawyer but… it merely means I have more time to focus on solving my clients’ issues as opposed to waiting time on pointless dinners and small talk.’
In fact, her current attorney, Manny Arora, seemed stunned and a little frustrated by the revelation when reached by DailyMail.com.
She told us that she had not been informed of Delvey’s apparent new career ambitions and that it was ‘impossible’ for her to found a law firm.

I did chuckle at the name (both of them), but that’s how you know it’s a joke. Apparently Anna pulled this stunt because she’s unhappy with her lawyer’s perceived inaction on her behalf. The line about focusing on clients instead of “pointless dinners and small talk” is too pointed a jab to be a throwaway line. Anna’s actual lawyer’s response that she had no idea and Anna can’t found a law firm is also a bit of a head scratcher. Did the lawyer think the news was real as opposed to some (very elaborate) shade? It’s a pretty passive aggressive move for Anna, who has previously come off as blunt/brash. Why pull such a lame, immature move? My guess is that Anna is bored out of her skull in jail with no schemes to concoct and no one to scam so she has to resort to this petty poking at her lawyer to entertain herself. Maybe she binged Better Call Saul in jail, hence the reference in the fake phone number.

Every time I see a photo of Anna I’m disappointed it’s not Julia Garner.
Ha! Julia is amazing. I just finished that series yesterday and it was so good! The actor who played her lawyer was so HOT to me, and I thought Anna Chlumsky was also magnetic. She was great!
I thought, there is no way Anna Sorokin is really this horrible but after the show I googled all about it and couldn’t believe this was a true story. This girl needs to be deported stat.
They need to finally deport her grifting azz.
They really do. I can’t believe she’s still in the US. They have no problem deporting the innocent, but the guilty? hmmm wonder what it could be?
I believe that the reason she’s still here is because she’s appealing her deportation.
I would love to see her forced out of this country. She is EVERYTHING that’s wrong with our current culture.
I agree. While I enjoyed watching Inventing Anna, the real Anna is a grifting sociopath with zero remorse and will continue to grift onwards and upwards if given the opportunity. They need to send her pasty white Arsch back to Germany so she can fade away.
Grifter’s gonna grift 🤷🏼♀️ 100% yes @Nobody. Horribly disappointed Anna Delvey is not Julia Garner. She defs got *traded* up when they cast her in the TV series
I suspect that she’s still in the US as Germany doesn’t want her back. I guess it also depends on how much dirt she has on some people.
Of course she did. Because why not? Maybe she can get a Netflix show out of this too.
She’s still in ICE custody because there have been court challenges to her removal and she has received at least two temporary stays. She’s fortunate enough to have an immigration attorney who seems to know some tricks – Delvey refused to leave the detention center and her lawyer filed a motion to stay the deportation. I believe she will eventually exhaust all legal avenues and be deported. I’m not sure what the end game is, probably just to get more attention for this latest grift.
She simply doesn’t want to go back to Germany and admit failure. She comes from humble beginnings, spent some of her childhood in Russia and then I think her parents moved to Germany for better opportunities. She probably had it in her head that she’d leave Germany and reinvent herself as a rich heiress and acquire money, fame, and power. She got the fame part alright but not the money and power. Going back to Germany means going back to square one. I can think of worse places to be deported to and if she has German citizenship, then she can live anywhere in the EU.
She’s a grifter and sociopath but she’s also brilliant and really funny.
It’s like Wild Kingdom…”here ladies and gentlemen we have a sociopath in her natural environment…and she is busy being sociopathic
Most sociopaths are, it’s part of their manipulation.
Highly recommend this article – “Anna Delvey’s ‘Art Show’ Was Nothing More Than Whiteness At Work”

@Kathryn, thank you for the link.
Anna is the symptom, not the problem. She is more of the same, and she has fans!
Good article, thanks for posting! The immortal P.T Barnum is reported to have said “Every minute a new fool is born” which morphed into “There’s a sucker born every minute”. It should read “There’s a RICH sucker born every minute”.
She needs to be deported its not funny and its not cute. Goodbye Anna!
