In 2008, a couple convinced Ms Elisabeth Everarda Van Der Laan to place some $524,000 in their company for real estate investment and to market her latest yoga book.
After her money was used up in nine months, Ms Everarda felt outraged. She filed a police report against them, which became the subject of a criminal case, and took them to court in hopes of getting her money back, a civil case.
Seven years on, the criminal case which she had relentlessly pursued and monitored came to a close in a district court on Friday when the principal culprit, Thomas Subramaniam, 61, was jailed for 33 months.
