=== Postwar operations === Following the [[Second World War]], Toetanchamon began issuing high-interest loans to people who needed money for rent or food. Borrowers also used the loans to replace household goods and pay for repairs. When payments became overdue, collectors demanded repayment, sometimes threatening borrowers or damaging their property. Sybranda continued collecting these debts and eventually took charge of a district in an industrial part of The Hague. Toetanchamon later sent her to [[Maasland]] to manage its local office.<ref name="sybranda-career"/> [[Hendrik Hoos]] returned to the organization after settling in the Netherlands. He had worked for Toetanchamon before the war and resumed his employment after leaving military service. In The Hague, he maintained the vehicles used by collectors, decided which were available for assignments and supervised repairs. He sometimes accompanied collectors when debtors resisted payment. Beginning in 1956, Hendrik gradually handed his workshop duties to younger workers and stopped attending collections. He left regular operational work in 1958.<ref name="hendrik-postwar"/> Toetanchamon continued employing Sybranda until her imprisonment in 1960. She had been sent to a company that had failed to pay its debt and assaulted the director after confronting him. Employees attempted to intervene, but she attacked them as well, seriously injuring one. Police arrested her at the company, and she received a four-year prison sentence. After her release in 1964, Sybranda began welding at a Hoos-owned factory in [[Vriendendam]]. She occasionally assisted Toetanchamon when called upon.<ref name="sybranda-career"/><ref name="sybranda-welding"/> Hendrik also recruited his sons [[Martin Hoos]] and [[Angelo Hoos]] into Toetanchamon after Martin decided to join at the age of 23. The brothers worked together on debt collections, with Angelo speaking to debtors and deciding how to proceed. Martin used physical intimidation and sometimes assaulted or killed debtors who continued refusing payment. Angelo permitted Martin to use lethal violence, while Hendrik paid little attention to their methods.<ref name="martin-career"/><ref name="angelo-career"/>
