Y’all do realize that most CEOs and banks are criminals, they just know how to get around the red tape!

You got a lot wrong in that video, especially the part where you claim Rachel had to pay for everything and the fact that Chase isn't based on a real person. C'mon, do better research, Mojo!

And again you get it wrong here! Ugh!

thank god someone said it!!! she really got on my nerves with her “ride or die” bullshit. anyone who can excuse the behavior of a sociopath like that has issues of her own.

And she still running with her! Their relationship was founded on a lie!

Hey you know what they say... "it's easier to con someone than convince them they have been conned".

@@damatan1na I think Neff is really slow because she thought that "Anna's parents and her had a falling out and cut her off." She thought the money would come back when they "reconciled." Like what- 1- Anna told you she "made the money on her own to be independent." 2- do you not see all this evidence that she's a liar I think she was holding out that Anna would get money again to pay her s.hit for her.

@@DUBSTV2003 that's how I feel too. that she still hoped Anna would be able to provide her with the same things she did when they first met. I also agree with the original comment that, if Anna had not paid the hotel bill where Neff worked, she most likely wouldn't be so quick to defend her and judge Rachel.

I gave your comment a like because I wholeheartedly agree. I actually knew someone who came to my country with a similar story like Anna and started to pull the strings much like Anna did. I do think, though, that the apparent celebration of sociopathy is a manipulative move from the makers of this series in order to spark controversy and keep the series the topic of the conversation for a while. Sometimes, manipulation is good. In this case, it's a win-win. The series makers garner more attention from the public, while the important topic of celebrating narcissists and sociopaths is and will be discussed at length, as it should.

Then you will need to stop voting for politicians, stop supporting all actors and actresses, and don't give a dime to the bum on the street who feels they are too important to work. Basically, stay home, grow your own food, don't go out.

@@MrModel--CAPTURED-ON-FILM How come it has to be all or nothing? We can vote for a politician and vote for someone else the next time if their narcissism or sociopathy hits unwanted, antisocial highs. Also we can support the work of an actor or an actress, but not support who they are as a person. People who beg are a mix of those who were cast away from the society because they were antisocial and those who slipped through the cracks of society which failed and keeps failing to protect them from someone antisocial when the protection was due. Being against the celebration of narcissism or sociopathy doesn't necessarily mean being 100% against the persons who have pathological narcissism and/or sociopathy but against some of the negative behaviors that come with those disorders. And those should always be called out, in much the same way a parent calls out a child on anything antisocial that a child does as they grow up. The parent doesn't immediately disown their child every time the child gets caught red-handed, engaging in some sort of mischief. It doesn't have to be a complete disdain for someone who has done something antisocial, but also it shouldn't be the veneration of that person either. If we could be someone in between - judging the negative behaviors but avoiding passing judgment on the person.

@@donato286 I sincerely appreciate the depth of the reply you've shared. I, personally, can not support a political philosophy where "one person" is in charge of the entire population, like a "king", or a communist, or even a socialist, "leader". Every human, without exception has an "ego", which makes us all, to a degree, flawed. With the potential to abuse and hurt others to an incredible extent, without restraint. Its the symbolism of what Jesus dealt with during his 40 day fast - "the devil" offering him riches and fame. It's what a great many celebrities are now, strangely, admitting to in KZfaqs, that they "all" made a deal with the devil to achieve their success. My reply, above, was to the original post by "chef" who stated he would no longer support anyone who had these traits. The problem with such a strong conviction, which I admire, is that "everyone" has narcissism and vanity and ego, without exception. The only way to not support it at all in anyone is to make your way up to a private cave in the Himalayas and 'go within'. If "chef" does that, I will be incredibly impressed.

@@carly48 I doubt she tricked the 1%. It was the middle class workers in hotels, restaurants and banks who just got manipulated and allowed it. Real investors got interested but nobody really invested blindly, as they should.

I want them to go into business together lol

@gloriapsy i think simon is way worst money plus emotional torture unbelievable

Seems like America was to easy to scam. Why is everything ‘wired’. I bet hotels don’t do stupid stuff like that now. In the UK you have to pay upfront or have to leave a valid card for anything. Credit checks are done before any loans, plus any capital that she was saying surly she wasn’t that stupid to think that no one would really check! Did she really think that a few fake papers would secure her 40million! I thought all these things were checked online internally and some! 🙈🙈 when I got a house repair loan on my house, I practically had to show them what I ate, when I went to bed, and every bit of paperwork, all had to be verified with banks, mortgage companies, employers, credit file etc. mental!!

She had enough for the security deposits and that’s it. Note that they chased her later for funds always. Not up front

I’ve worked for different hotels. First thing we got was a CC and made sure it went through. However, I haven’t worked at a swanky hotel, ever dealt with the “elite” so I am not sure if they just let things slide because the staff is scared to question them. 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

Same thing I said!

Remember people. What we are use to is different to what "RICH" people are. Middle class are people perceived as poor and untrustworthy so they take preemptive measures where the irony of this is they perceive as tge elite rich to be trustworthy and the workers (middle-class) will red carpet and kiss these peoples asses. She literally saw this and used their weakness against them. And anytime they questioned her integrity or willingness to pay she would gas light them by eventually having they questioned "maybe she is having trouble with a wiring issue. She's obviously not poor as she tips 100 each time". Perfect gas light ever

Except it wasn’t legal and they both got caught and went to jail 🤨

I just finished it, too. Netflix should be ashamed. The *ACTUAL VICTIMS* (like Rachel) are shamed and villanized. It's ridiculous, how they want to paint Anna in a sympathetic light. The hotel worker that stood by Anna is a fool.

it was a series... no one was obsessed with her

@@MrPedro13000 what do you mean?

I was gasping the whole time they failed to recognize how toxic she was, it amazes me that everyone in her circle was so loyal to her without questioning like how powerful can you be over someone’s emotions I honestly didn’t feel bad for Rachel the girl literally defended her almost to the end ? Like how?

​@@arucinthis6217 I mean in real life no one was obsessed with her. Maybe the few friends that hanged with her that were also poor, like the hotel girls or Rachel. She was just a con artist that committed fraud and provided fake documents to financial institutions, with these fake documents people believed she was doing something and gave her time and meetings, but after doing their due diligence found that she was a fraud and gave her to the DA. The only people I'd say were really stupid are the lawyers that were representing her with no retainer, other than that everything on the financial sphere played just as it usually does. The series tries to make as if she was some kind of genius outplaying Wall Street when in reality she had already been refused by many investors and financial institutions and the most damage she did was getting a 100k overdraft from city national that was authorized by one low management employee.

Inventing Anna, Season 2

Rachel's friendship with Anna was incidental and I won't insist on paying money when going out with prince William especially when he himself invited me to a dinner/party etc. If Rachel knew in advance what she signed up for, I don't think she would have ever befriended her.

I give ZERO eff's about Rachel. I feel like she got what was coming to her. In fact, the ONLY good thing about Anna is that she was found Not Guilty on the charge of swindling Rachel.

Periodt

Also remember that "Chase" (Hunter) did the same thing as Anna. He simply knew when to file bankruptcy and move on with his life. Rachel needed to go after Anna so Amex and her Employer didnt go after her. She 100% profited from her friendship with Anna by taking $1000s from Anna over the course of a year... telling Anna she would help her get exposure and Marketing for her Business. Anna wouldnt have spent a dime on Rachel if she didnt have the connections Anna needed and Rachel made sure to imply she could give that in order to "hang" with the big dogs.

I bet Rachel thoroughly understands what enabling means, now. I hope she is, at the very least, stronger and wiser.

It’s not like any of her victims were financially ruined because of her. She defrauded banks and investors. She took advantage of people who live in the lap of luxury. It seems to me like she’d have less on her conscience than most of her victims.

But that doesn't apply here because Anna is really ugly. If she were beautiful, I could understand SOME of the things she got away with. But she isn't.

@@sleepybaby6221 Then why didn't she play her that way? Haha

Yes, you are right. The series makes her look cooler than she really is. However think about this, all she did was pretend to be rich, because if she was rich all this behavior would have been acceptable. Rich people don't pay for the bills and get free stuff all the time. If you are poor you can't even get a cold meal but if you are rich people will give you lobster just because you are rich. How ridiculous that is? She was scamming in thousands of dollars because that is the way to get free stuff. If she was trying to scam just the very minimum no one would believe her. She is guilty, like everybody else who accepts that lifestyle.

maybe you and your likes think like asmongold - only the end matters and hes very verbal about that -for me its the journey and i see that in Anna too

@@mikatu she didnt scam anyone... She PAID Thousands and Thousands (over $200,000) to people who said they could help her get her Business going.

@@Davidjimv Yep, thanks :-) I've corrected it.

I was wondering if I was the only one who felt like this is what it was pushing. On the other hand I tried to take it as “this woman is so good at the con game that she makes people feel like she is just misunderstood”. I hope it’s the latter.

I felt the same way. Netflix made her look like the victim. Like it was everyone else’s fault that they believed her lies. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

It’s really easy to pick sides tho. Not matter how the show portrays her she’s a sleezbag

I felt bad for Rachel and was in shock when Anna was found not guilty for this count. I have a corporate card, oml, I never carry it in my wallet unless I go on business trips because I don't want to use it by mistake. With the contactless terminals, you never know. I am so scared to use this card. My anxiety reached a whole new level when I saw Rachel hand out her corporate card. 🙈

I agree, the Netflix show is just there to make her look a victim and it’s an insult to the real victims she conned.

I'm not sure about that. I'm thinking Rachel would rather have her money back than an apology.

I think she has a personality disorder. No conscience at all.

Yes!!! Netflix is trying so hard to empathize with a narcissistic criminal. Rachel was a victim of identity theft.

Yes I agree, you need to find peace through getting some justice

It does show the irony that the more money you have, the less you actually need. Like how wealthy celebrities get free meals at fancy restaurants and expensive gift baskets, or CEOs get free flights.

FACTS!!

@@lizf3857 FACTS!!!!!!

I feel the same way. Watching the tv series I got that vibe from her fictionally/in real life.

Doesn’t have genuine friends, extremely delusional.

..............that's probably why she fit in so well with people she wanted to be - they're also cold and calculating.

When Pelosi wouldn't distribute checks because they had Trump's name on them thousands lost their homes and starved. Do you think Pelosi feels bad? When Obama invited children to make their way to the US and thousands died or were raped walking thousands of miles up to the US, do you think Obama feels bad?

That’s narcissism, no remorse

Agreed! The actress who played her was amazing! It’s the second time I’ve seen her. The first time was in Ozark. Incredible actress!

The show talks about Ana not being attractive, or being jealous at Rachel being better looking, which is true in real life, but doesn’t really work within the Netflix show.

In a movie or TV show, being boring is worse than being bad.

Yeah I didn’t like any of the people much lol.

And nevermind her accent. She was horrible.

She didn't just talk big thought. She invited people to a free trip to Marrocos, spas, saunas, personal trainers, expensive hotels. Besides, while the money was rolling, I bet they had good times in a life of luxury and comfort. It is easy to think that whlie watching it on TV, it is another thing to be with the her in person.

But she's a woman and any bad behaviour a woman does is not their fault. They must be a victim

But she didn’t take anyone’s money. She was scheming for loans from banks, and then her freeloading pal Rachel decided to put her COMPANY AMEX down for a 100k vacation she was expecting to get for free.

the reason she was able to do it is because it WASNT A SCAM.. she was a girl with a dream and saw guys doing it so why couldnt she? She simply didnt know when to walk away and file bankruptcy..like every Guy does when all the bills come in on a failed business dream.

Don't feel bad for Rachael. Since 2018, she is now a very rich woman. She's sold her story everywhere and made over $300,000 (and counting, would be over a million by now due to the sales of her tell all book).

Rachel made lemonade out of lemons. If people weren't so enamoured by these types of stories then she wouldn't have made any money from her misfortune.

Prior to even selling her story Rachel used Anna and her friends for dinners, clothing, personal training and other expenses. Anna footed the bill for Rachel a lot and Morocco was her idea. When it was Rachels turn to pay she wasn’t able. I would’ve felt sympathy had Anna (or Anna’s fraud funds) hadn’t paid for thousands in Rachels lavish lifestyle PRIOR to the trip. She’s that friend that uses everyone and when she gets used she wants to cry victim. She’s a phony just like Anna.

​@@Behindgrayeyes ​ all of these people were users. A pretty toxic environment all around.

@@michelle.goodridge completely agree!

I was mostly shocked by the amount of times she was able to stay in these luxurious hotel suites and penthouses without having a credit card on file. That's usually standard in the hospitality industry. Also, all the money she got loaned to her from banks without providing any documentation or very little which turned out to be fraudulent. Definitely watching the mini-series.

I truly loved it...

The terrible accent!! It was like fingernails on a chalkboard! Southern versus somewhere in Europe eeçhhh. Nooo

I didn’t get past the second episode. boring….

Just finished watching Inventing Anna. It's like watching the Squid Games, who is 'the next' victim.. exciting stuff. Anna was able to scam the rich based on human greed for fame, money, power and love.

I hold the premise that if she had been a man things might have turned out very different, just as Anna suggested.

that's what sociapaths or narcissistic people can so. Manipulate!!! You're supposed to drawn to the person ...

@@MrModel--CAPTURED-ON-FILM I keep saying it: Anna Sorokin reminds me a lot of Elon Musk. Same bombastic arrogance and rudeness, same claim to achievements of others.

@@lenawagenfuehr53 Steve Jobs was a bastard, to all his employees, his family, his friends - but I bet you use an Apple product

I don't feel bad for Rachel, mostly due to Katie's depiction of her. Ms. Mojo didn't confirm if the videographer actually accompanied them on the trip, but it was not sanctioned by Vanity Fair. This was not a trip that Rachel pitched as a story, so why did Rachel bring her work credit card? That's a big no no. Why didn't Rachel cancel the card as soon as she got on the plane? When AMEX CS asked how much she needed to safely leave the country, why didn't tell them exactly what she needed (pay this place and tickets home)???? Rachel looks like a wannabe who tried to emulate Anna. Not saying Anna should have stiff Rachel with the cost of the trip. Rachel wanted to be famous as well though.

I mean she was okay with a rich person paying everything for her and didn't open her month until it was time for her to pay. She was using her, had it coming at that point.

@@LoveableNiki there was a videographer on the trip. I saw glimpse of the footages in other Rachel's interview. I really wanna see more from the trip too.

@@iluvbabiepanda Thanks!!!

Good observation. Seeing these parents pain totally got to her, and truly threatened her young motherhood. This close after have been giving birth, the hormones where literally coming out of her ears, and she became frantic as some sort of a result; and seriously confused.

I agree. She had to refund her friends and family.

Me either. But I do blame her for playing the innocent role

@@chyna3413 can you explain? Because she is a victim of a scam.

@@NadiaGirl1 no because she keeps selling the sob story of her being scammed when Amex covered her bill for one for two Ana was paying for everything to begin with and she was mainly her friend because she was rich not because she actually liked Ana she even said Ana wasn’t a nice person and on top of all that she’s smiling through interviews for her to be so traumatized she sure gained a lot and is taking it well. It would be more respected if she said Ana snaked me I’m mad and I’m turning lemons into lemonade. Ana isn’t right for what she did but miss girl gone stop acting like this is the worst thing that has ever happened to her because it’s not . And that’s why the jurors didn’t agree with her !

Me too, she was a victim too.

If i dont fall asleep in the middle of season 9, i’d probably finished it at 10 as well lmaoo i feel like reading my own story in your comment

I watched them all yesterday too! Was a phenomenal series and insight into this woman! What an absolute bitch- nothing nice or attractive about this woman at all, Great story though.

Hopefully she'll be deported

She's already back at it again. She asked for a bunch of money on Twitter and was staying in some fancy hotel before ICE got her. Netflix is so sorry, making her a victim and sh.itting all over Rachel. Ridiculous.

Same! lol...it was like...watching a train wreck in Very Very slow motion...i kept waiting...expecting..someone..anyone..to wake the H up & See her for what she is...& that day never came. Unbelievable! Not knowing a thing about this until i began watching it...i still recognised a scammer in the first step of her first scam..i wish i had seen the Real Anna in action..might have been able to see what hypnotized so many people so well...

She's a con artist and probably a narcissist since she still thinks she did nothing wrong and everyone else is at fault

@@victoriajolly247 and the people who side with her because her victims were rich and supposedly greedy, well... they were business people/socialites. Easy to criticize them when you are jealous, don't know how they made their money, or just think money and rich people are inherently bad. They had the assets they said they had. Her whole con was based on an inheritance she didn't have. You can pitch an idea without being a lying scam artist. Business people try to make money. That's what they do. And you are right about the narcissism part! Being ordinary was unbearable for her.

Wannabe socialites and gold diggers are usually the same thing

@@dianevanderlinden3480 I hope you got the same energy when rich people take advantage of poor people..

@@Profoundimpact2 No one should take advantage of anyone. But the rich have the power, and they get their money back at the expense of the poor and middle class. That's the point.

She's now in the custody of ICE (since one month post release from prison) she will be deported back to Germany soon.

Y’all act like she killed someone lmao! She’s just being a human being… selfish and greedy for money that’s it 🤷🏻‍♀️it’s not right but that’s humans for ya

Lmao people are acting like she killed someone , she was just moving money , which she would’ve made back if the ADF was constructed lol

@@lisabrightly and she will be a free woman in Germany

I'm so glad you said that, because I feel exactly the same, and I still can't understand why Anna is portrayed as the victim. She certainly isn't a latter-day female Robin Hood. But I do feel a lot of people support her actions because she has made all those fat cat millionaires and bankers look extremely foolish.

She wasn't allowed to keep any of the money from selling the rights to her story. Under court order the minute the funds it hit her bank account the Feds froze her account and ordered her to pay back all her banks that she defrauded. All of the money went to them as part of her agreeing to pay restitution. You can look into to if you want to confirm the story.

She’s a liar but not a sociopath the only people she really hurt were the rich so no harm done

Yeah she should NOT be rewarded for her behaviour, but you can’t know what people emulate from movies or not. Otherwise you could never release an action movie fearing people would emulate that behaviour 🤷🏾‍♀️ also what is all this about because it was only reach people affected there was no harm done? Wtf? Are we ok with theft as long as it’s only done to some people?? We’re all juman, we’re all supposed to follow law and order, NO ONE is above the law, even if “only” rich people were affected. It’s insane!

@@msnewsenior I truly believe criminals should not ever profit off of their crimes. Any money made should go to their victims. It always pisses me off when I see murderers become idolized for their crimes. Then Hollywood comes along to make a movie of them ugh!!

She was paid around $320,000 by Netflix, all of it went to restitution.

Was it Rachel?
