A 26-year-old man is the new Anna Delvey Sorokin ... because he assumed the role of an oil baron heir and chartered a slew of private jets, rented homes that went for $30k a night and a lot more ... until he was nailed by authorities.
Nicholas Bryant defrauded 50 people and maybe more, stealing around $1.5 million in his criminal scheme.
It was humming along nicely for Nick, until he stiffed one of the jet charter companies to the tune of $76k. The company called authorities and Nick was nailed. He pled guilty earlier this month to wire fraud, which carries a maximum of 20 years behind bars.
Bryant says he feels remorse for what he did, and admitted he never intended to pay his victims.
Bryant told The Daily Beast the allegations "are pretty much true." He went on to say, "I took private jets and stayed at the most expensive AirBnbs and hotels. Went deep sea fishing and toured everything that was possible. I bought and drove five different high-end cars. By far my most favorite trip was to [Turks] and Caicos. I spent two weeks on the island from fishing to sailing yachts. I stayed in a $30,000-a-night house. It was amazing."
And he makes a pretty stunning confession ... "The serious consequences had zero impression on me."
He's behind bars awaiting sentencing.
