This is a strange case & a bad precedent for Singapore's fight against scam.
1. Why was restitution not made? $3.6Million is a HUGE sum & certainly can't disappear into thin air. Why did the police NOT investigate WHERE those amounts went. For sure there would be receipts, item purchased or even invoices if investments had been made.
2. The scammer had FORGED Court documents & yet she only got 10yrs in prison instead of the max 30+ yrs. Such sentences would only encourage other scammers to do the same - 3 hot meals a day in prison, after 10 yrs, get to enjoy millions of dollar scammed from taxpaying victims whose lives were destroyed & even had their loved ones almost committed suicide....
Perhaps the daughter or the relatives can pool funds or crowdfund to hire better lawyers to recover those funds. Legal fees will certainly cost less than the huge amount that can be recovered.
