INDIANAPOLIS — A New York socialite has raised more than half of the $7 million a court ordered her to repay after she pleaded guilty to duping an Indiana company and other corporations out of millions of dollars.

Dina Wein Reis, a well-known art collector in Manhattan social circles, has raised about $4.4 million and expects to raise the rest by December, according to documents filed this month in federal court in Indianapolis.

She is raising the money in part by selling her art collection at Sotheby’s in New York, court documents show.

Prosecutors said Reis, 48, swindled companies by wining and dining CEOs at her brownstone, where they were asked to discount goods for use as samples at retail outlets or promotional packages for senior-living communities — but Reis instead sold the goods for profit.

A judge in 2011 ordered Reis to pay restitution.
