The US Department of Immigration and Customs announced that it would seek to deport Sorokin to Germany after his release from the state prison.
Sorokin apologized "for the mistakes I made" when sentencing Thursday, but she changed her tone in two interviews with the Times at Rikers Island Prison.
She said that she had always intended to repay her creditors, including banks, two hotels and a private jet company.
In an interview given about a week before her sentencing, Sorokin acknowledged that she had falsified some bank statements but that was only because she had made a big dream. She said she wanted to create a $ 40 million private club and that potential investors have pushed to open it before they put their own money.
Sorokin said that she had never told her wealthy friends that she had millions of dollars, they had simply assumed it.
Sorokin admitted to the Times: "I'm not a good person."
