The money was paid by cheque from the trustees holding her money. As considered an educational expense( she wants to be a commercial pilot ) they agreed to pay it. My comments about TED are those expressed by Maria.Maria may also be a victim but she IS the owner of the company and no doubt had profited to some extent. I had faith in this company and the people on the front line.It is difficult to be sympathetic when the director of the company is blaming her manager TED for his extravagant lifestyle. He is apparently on holiday at the moment. Well timed !!!!
