Omerta – City of Gangsters – The Con Artist

New Jersey, February 1919. A young woman claiming to be Anastasia Romanov disappears after receiving a large sum of money from local Russian immigrants who supported the royal regime in Russia. The police suspected a scam, but the people who handed over their money actually believed that the self-proclaimed Romanov had gone into hiding because Soviet spies were threatening her life.

The person was Anna Anderson. She was known as a charismatic and influential socialite with a striking appearance. Her identity has baffled investigators and people familiar with the case, and no one can say for sure whether this was a brilliant hoax or the pure truth.
