It was speculated for months that Delvey would be deported back to Germany, but according to an October 2021 ABC report, she's currently being held in New York City in ICE custody awaiting deportation. However, it was short-lived, as she was quickly arrested by ICE the next month for overstaying her visa in the US. When she was released in February 2021, she went back to her normal life in New York, posting on social media and gathering attention yet again. She was also ordered to pay $199,000 in restitution and was fined $24,000. Well, Delvey was arrested in 2017 but wasn't sentenced for her crimes until May 2019, receiving four to 12 years in prison.

The show will recount how Delvey sweet-talked her way through New York social circles, collecting friends and thousands of dollars along the way.
