The building in New York, where the Russian-speaking swindler Anna Sorokina (Delvi) hunted, is being sold for $ 135 million

Historic renaissance building at 281 Park Avenue South, filmed by con artist Anna Delvey, went on the market for a whopping $135 million, reports New York Post.

The price is more than five times what Delvi was trying to raise to rent the building. The property was last purchased in 2014 by Eby Rosen's RFR Realty for $50 million.

RFR owns over 90 properties in New York, Miami, Las Vegas and Tel Aviv.

The firm bought the property from the non-profit Federation of Protestant Charitable Agencies. The latter paid $1963 for it in 910.

RFR carried out a $30 million renovation and in 2017 signed a 15-year lease with the Fotografiska Museum.

Around the same time, Delvey had the idea to sign a lease on the site. In the iconic six-story building with an area of ​​4200 square meters, the fraudster wanted to house her own private club, as well as the Anna Delvey Foundation.

Her plan was to attract potential investors by claiming that it would be an exclusive nightclub. It will house a visual arts center, a hotel, a German bakery and a juice bar.

When Delvey discovered that Fotografiska was close to signing a lease, she was furious.

An attempt to rent the building eventually landed her in jail. An investigation surfaced as to why she was unable to pay the $100 legal fees for filing a lease on the building.
