Ms Hronopoulos was also ordered to pay $2,000.
According to an investigation by ASIC, Ms Hronopoulos created false insurance policies that deceived her clients into believing they held certain insurance coverage when, in fact, they did not.
The court found that during 2002-2005, Ms Hronopoulos used the money given to her by her clients for the purpose of buying insurance policies, to pay the claims and debts of other clients.
Ms Hronopoulos was banned from providing financial services in 2008.
