The online archive followed the story of Anna Sorokin (&#8220;Anna Delvey&#8221;) who took New York by storm when she ran up a $200,000 tab primarily on hotels and investment banks. The Anna Delvey Foundation was a blog dedicated to collecting, preserving and cataloging records on con artists, cult figures, and scammers (both real and imagined) for socio-cultural research in order to bring light to the darker side of humanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The website was created in 2018 to track <a href=\"https:\/\/annadelveyfoundation.org\/glossary\">news updates<\/a> on the evolving story. As much as it was a hobby project, it quickly gained notoriety. In 2019, the site had over 10,000 unique visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" src=\"https:\/\/julialipscomb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Anna-Devley-Foundation-London-sign.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-395\" srcset=\"https:\/\/julialipscomb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Anna-Devley-Foundation-London-sign.jpg 500w, https:\/\/julialipscomb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Anna-Devley-Foundation-London-sign-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Photo Credit: Riposte London (Facebook).
