Dickinson, now 27, used the $41,770 she received from friends and family to take vacations in Thailand and Hong Kong. She also purchased excessive amounts of alcohol, cocaine, and MDMA, The Age reported.
Dickinson was sent to jail in 2018 for her fraud but was able to appeal her case and avoid more prison time. Now, however, she is being kept in jail for another year, as more evidence of her fraud has come to light.
