There's no shortage of investors licking their wounds after doing their dough in finance company collapses.
But investors in Hanover thought they were home free. A deal with shareholders, Mark Hotchin and Eric Watson offered them all of their money back eventually in return for not putting the company under.

Hannah Ockleford caught up with the 77-year-old who invested $35,000 in Hanover.
