Anna Sorokin, the infamous scammer who inspired a Netflix series that chronicled her grifting pursuits, is exploring a new hustle — NFTs.

The exclusive collection of NFTs is an attempt to move away from her “scammer persona,” a decision made after Sorokin became known for her delinquencies, which ranged from stealing from businesses and friends while posing as German heiress. Sorokin announced the collection in an interview that first aired on NBC News NOW.
