On a side note, my wife's cousin lagi best. He got encountered with a VietBu and even planned to get married. His father was so happy for him. Eventually, I heard that he was conned of S$5k and the marriage never materialized.

These kinds of things are a waste of everyone's time. He is not looking for advice, he is looking for acceptance and endorsement. He has to learn the hard way. Friends and relatives make it worse because they will attempt to give a "balanced" view to be nice to him and he will accept half the equation that fits with his version of love and ignore the rest and he thinks that the friends and relatives endorsed it.
If you want to be honest with him, ask him to bring the $750k and a box matches and you will help him burn it right in front of him. This kind of drastic advice will knock more sense than a well meaning conversation.
These things applies to everyone no matter however intelligent they are. Anyone doing business in China would know about Shanghainese women.
I give him two years tops based on personal experience. Some life lessons must be learnt the hard way and there's no other way. Two years later he will come back to you and ask that the matches and kerosene be used on himself.
He will say that she must have her difficulties and he does not blame her and that the next one will not be the same. Don't discount the stupidity of Sinkie uncles when they face off with ATBs.

I wont even waste my time listening to him. On the one hand, the guy wants you to know he is good enough to procure for himself a Shanghainese whore, and on the other hand, he will not listen to anyone cos he is living in his own dream.

Interestingly, this is the second prc lady that this friend of mine is involved in. For the first one, they have actually register their marriage at rom and my friend also sponsor the lady to apply for her pr.
Problem is once gotten her pr, all the pattern come out. Finally they agree to annul the marriage, can't recall for how long there were married before the annulment, though I believe it's less than 1 year.
Will this one be different?.

Got his rocks off, ward off ATB temptations. Mind over matter? :p...chap masturbated before he went to geylang with his friends for kopi, he would never have gotten interested in that particular ATB and would have avoided all the shit he's in.
Yup, this one will be different. Different amount of money
As the saying goes, cheated once is gullible, cheated twice is stupidity. Anyway, we bystanders can't do much. 当局者迷。Sometimes you say too much, he might think that you are trying to sow discord.
Be smart about women in general. It's not only Shanghai women who are capable to deceit although I do agree with forummers here who said correctly that this bunch is a particularly devious bunch. Shanghai women have zero scruples and even less shame. Avoid them like the plague.
Frankly speaking the man in this story knows he is getting screwed but he just wants to believe the odds that his might be a special case. Scroobal is right he just wanted affirmation and comfort from his friends, not advise. In fact anyone who tries to give him advise is likely to lose his friendship. This is called carrot head.
Best to let him fall hard and learn a good lesson. The only thing he is 50 and not much time to recover from the loss but heck that's life.
As a friend, I would like him to do well.
At age 50, being single, my thoughts is he probably still yearn to start a family, rather than companionship.
While did not really ask him, one can probably tell from his choices.
Willing buyer willing seller.
I always treat this more like a transaction than a love story.
If the man is multimillionaire, than what is the hoohaaa.......? But if he is just a rich middle class with half a brain..... Why bother...... He will die in some other woman hand eventually. Why not let it be this one and get over with it.
