A Cobb County Superior Court judge on Monday awarded a woman $2 million in punitive damages for money a now-closed California company took from her. Judge Mary Staley had ruled in favor of Susan Farhadi of Peachtree City on Jan. 6, finding against Vesta Strategies on civil claims of fraud, breach of fiduciary duties and violating the state's RICO act. Farhadi also got $250,000 in actual damages. According to news accounts and Farhadi's lawyer, William Ney, she is one of several people nationwide to fall victim to Vesta, which had an office in Cobb County until the business closed last summer.
