'I never thought I was cheating.' Netflix's long-awaited new series Inventing Anna, about 'fake heiress' Anna Delvey, aka Anna Sorokin, is released today. Last year she told Newsnight how she managed to get away with it for so long 👇
Anna's lawyer Todd Spodek received plenty of attention during the trial, as he pursued "fake-it-til-you-make-it" as a defence strategy. He opened and closed his argument with lyrics from Frank Sinatra's New York, New York, insisting his client was just trying to be successful in the big city.
Inventing Anna implies he took on her case for notoriety and, sure enough, he is now known in the media as the "fake heiress" lawyer. This moniker was used most recently when he was linked to another big New York case, representing a juror from the Ghislaine Maxwell trial. Like Kacy and Neff, Todd was a consultant for the Inventing Anna series. He is portrayed by Arian Moayed, who played Stewy in Succession.
Todd told the BBC the actor did a phenomenal job. But he said he did not take on the case for no fee, as is implied, and no journalist helped him out with his case work. "There was no media attention when Anna became my client," he said. "The media attention came afterwards. However, anytime a 'German heiress' comes in for a consultation, you know good things are coming your way.
