Financial Domination, has little to do with someone stealing money from your account. All acts are consensual, and it usually isn't until the morning after that subs MAY feel remorse for their deviant indulgences... Nevertheless, responsibility airs on the subs side to make sure they communicate their interests, limits etc, with someone they feel they can trust. Of course, that doesn't eliminate the possibility of being conned, butit greatly reducesthat risk. If you communicate with the Domme, then you can act based on compatibility and not just scene lust. If the Domme is a right fit for you, then you will be able to tell after a few convos. But nevertheless, someone stealing money from your account has noting to do with what you are asking. Sorry to hear your Ex got over on you, but now you know to better protect yourself in that regard.
Anyways, there are lots of legitmate resources out there on the financal fetish world, domination being a sect of that, that can help you dicern your interests and disinterests with the engagement. Like anything, it's not anyone's job to inform you on anything you are considering participating in, other than your own... so, google some resources and I can tell you some in private if you like, but my only concern is wasting My time trying to explain something I am passionate about to some who isn't trying to hear what I have to say. So, hopefully, you are inquiring for the right reasons, and not for the sake of justifying your stance and/or ignorance.
To be honest, most people are into the lifestyle/kink w/o even knowing it... if you don't like FinDom, it's not the practice you dislike as much as it is the marketing of it in popular culture... but, it really is a very pure form of interaction as far as D/s is concerned because it gives the Domme real power over the sub. subs and slaves looking to experience real sacrifice should be willing to submit more than just their time and energy into a relationship and conversely, any Domme claiming to want to control a sub's finances should be able to prove Her Dominanceby doing more than just taking from the sub... though, taking IS half the fun
