After a turbulent journey that began with a tourist visa in 2017, the German‑Russian con artist slipped into New York’s glittering high society, masquerading as a fortune‑teller heiress while quietly draining banks and friends of their fortunes.

With a Netflix docuseries that celebrated her deceptive rise and a lucrative appearance on a popular dance show, she has turned her infamy into a brand, earning a hefty sum while the legal system wrestles with her fate.
