#2I'm rather confused why not contact a lawyer and pursue legal action?
world-glance.com screams caution since there is so much missing, team info, personal names & bios, contact, address, etc. and it was only registered in Feb 2015 and has whois privacy protection
http://whois.domaintools.com/world-glance.com
privacy protection is not normally an issue but when a COMPANY (not personal!) webpage has no personal details, address, phone, etc. it is a huge redflag
don't mean to criticize a victim of fraud but no reputable VC or investor would be asking for money for petty expenses like a cab or flight, etc.
The whole point of this is that they are the ones that are supposed to have money and they may or may not give it to you.
Not the other way around :/
But I get it, she was using the 'boiling frog' strategy

I agree. Also, publishing this stuff online might weaken his legal hand.

Absolutely, the owner of this website could be sued for slander. If everything in this story is true then just sue Cecile because she obviously committed fraud, the case should be a slam dunk. Then expose her once she has been sentenced to prison.
edit:
Cecile's website is a joke :
Does it look like a serious VC to anybody? there is absolutely no information whatsoever. Remember the legend about about nigerian scammers? they make it so obvious it is a scam to screen people, that website feels a bit like that.

If all she's been getting out of the "potential investor" scam is free dinners/trips/etc. and doesn't have significant assets, suing her is probably a money-losing proposition.

Presumably that isn't her name.

Slander is for false statements, it doesn't look like these are false.

#10This post is worse than Cecile's actions.
She's obviously not right in the head, you are basically saying "Watch out for crazy people", and she has to be the scapegoat for your messaging.
This is super cruel and merciless.
