During their 3 year relationship, he has burrowed 1.25 million RMB (around 180k USD) from her family. Initially, he asked for 400k, then another 850k later to "buy a car". He didn't buy any car. When confronted about the money, he claimed he had spent it all. She did write an IOU note when lending him the money.

Why can this be considered fraud? (the reason he got arrested)
Apparently they didn't register for a marriage certificate, so legally they are not married even had the wedding went through. Since they aren't married and there's an IOU, their relationship can be considered as one between a lender and burrower.

Fuck you can't even fake that you have friends

Maybe the wife's family is rich and powerful, used their influence to get the fuzz.

So bizarre

All of it

In other news; half of Neogafs members have been arrested.

What would he need 1,25million for?!

My first thought was that maybe he already had a wife and so couldn't ask his parents / siblings to attend. Weird.

This is an awesome idea.

I'm going to hire Ian McKellen to be my teacher in wizardry, Richard Armitage as my close friend and a king of a faraway kingdom, and Sean Bean as my father who will die on the day of the wedding due to an orc attack.

Nothing here makes sense.

Based on the money he was getting and spending from her family it was either an attempt to scam her and get into money which sounds likely from this.

Or he's shit with his money for the most part and he's really embarrassed by his family/friends who may not be "sophisticated" enough.

But going with scammer.

Number one rule of the marry into a rich family grift is to actually get the paperwork signed. What an amateur.

I think the bride's family panicked and brought in the police after realizing that the groom (and probably the bride, herself) is doing a scam due to the fake guests. Somewhat understandable to me.

 

[sixteen-bit]

This is really sad.

yeah that's sad if true
