Hhmmm, I was able to enter Great Britain on a US passport but was required to show my ticket back across the channel.
Anyone think she'd have a spot of trouble crossing the border?
"Faux heiress Anna Sorokin may have inked a lucrative Netflix deal, but she won’t be raking in the dough anytime soon — thanks to “Son of Sam” David Berkowitz.
The state Attorney General’s Office is invoking New York’s “Son of Sam Law” to try and convince a judge that all of the profits from the hotly anticipated Shonda Rhimes-produced drama about Sorokin’s case go to her victims, The Post has learned.
“The monies sought to be preserved herein, constitute “profits from a crime,’” wrote Assistant Attorney General Adele Durand in recently filed court papers....
The jury did find Sorokin not guilty of promising her ex-pal and former Vanity Fair photo editor Rachel Williams an all-expenses-paid trip to Morocco and then sticking her with a $70,000 bill.
Williams’ sold her story on their friendship and the ill-fated trip to HBO and Simon & Schuster in a deal worth $600,000.

She's back!!
Fake German heiress's first weekend of freedom after early prison release | Daily Mail Online
[..]
Under New York State Law, a convict can profit for their crimes so long as the money gained is made accessible to their victims. It is what's known as the Son of Sam Law.
'The Son of Sam law requires any entity that enters into a contract with someone who is accused or convicted of a crime to supply a copy of the contract to the Crime Victims Compensation Board. That entity would have to deliver any money owed according to the contract to the board for placement in an escrow account for five years.
'If an interested party were to successfully sue the perpetrator, the money from the contract would be used to pay any judgment. If no victims were brought within the five year period, the Crime Victims Compensation Board would be required to provide the funds to the accused,' the state senate's description of it reads.
It's unclear how much victims can claim from the perpetrator.

The attorney, Audrey A. Thomas, was disbarred on November 9, 2022 over a finding that she misappropriated funds from an elderly client starting in 2013, according to court records.
