She is being remanded because she swindled a politician. If not, she will still be free. Why have the suspects of CIFL never arrested until now? Is it because they funded Rajapakse's political campaign?

This type of fraud has been conducted by women over a long period of time. My late dad deposited his commuted pension almost 50 years ago in a financial company called “ REALTORS LTD” which promised him 18% interest monthly. It paid four months. Then the cheques bounced back. The company closed itself and later we heard the woman who ran this company has joined a Christian mission as a believer abroad. My dad was very saddened that he and his family couldn’t enjoy his commuted pension he earned after several years of hard work.

She has a lot of direct connections with mahinda Rajapaksa regimen in dealing with black money. Politicians and drug dealers are behind her.

Who on earth would invest in such companies? Just checked the background of the directors. Nothing to be found! Serves them right for investing in such mushroom companies.

Sadly from top to bottom all of our citizens want to make quick money. They all learned this from crooked politicians.

RW what happened to the FCID? Wasn't that your creation? Instead you are having lunch with Mahendran who is responsible for one of the biggest robberies in Sri Lanka. RW is a two faced liar.

DM should stop inserting high volume ads inbetween low volume videos. It's disturbing for those trying to pay attention to the content and in certain places like (offices) attract unwanted attention.

Who should feel sorry for well known politician who lost money? Can we unearth which politician taken by the woman's charm to give up on money they probably swindled from the public as an MP or Minister anyway?

Her body meat shows it! I cannot fathom this craving for endless fortune. How much of that can be devoured, used or invested in one's life time, unless you gamble the lot? 'happy the man who wish and care a few acres bound' - Alex Pope
