Beginner Gardening: Money Tree: changes in the bark and brown leaves, 1 by chanti7

Hi, I've had this money tree for years (5 or so). When I moved to Toronto, I thought the plant was dead since my movers were pretty rough on it so I left it outside on my balcony for several months. Then I noticed it making new leaves and brought it back indoors. This was 3 years ago. At that time, I noticed what appeared to be fungus on the bark near the soil, and tried to wash it off. The bark still looks odd and "loose", and since that time the tips of the older leaves turn brown, then the entire leaves turn brown and fall off. I'm wondering if the plant is infected and if there is any way I can fix this... No more fungus-like growth noted on the bark since that first time 3 years ago.
