The director of the DG Institute wealth through property seminar program sought to keep her occupation suppressed in the statement of affairs submitted to trustee Michael Jones.
She advised debts totalling $3.44m, with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) being owed $1.95m.
Last December, the Federal Court of Australia full court dismissed Grubisa’s appeal against the ACCC case that found her DG Institute made false or misleading representations to consumers in the promotion and sale of education programs called Real Estate Rescue (RER) and Master Wealth Control (MWC) between 2017 and 2022.
More than 3000 consumers paid between $4500 and $9200 to enrol.
Grubisa had appealed against the $1m penalty that she was ordered to pay, which was accompanied by being disqualified from managing a corporation for five years.
The court ordered Grubisa to pay the ACCC’s costs.
Her conduct was “deliberate and dishonest”, Federal Court Justice Ian Jackman found in 2024.
