Chinese man claims to be at Oxford University, taking £595,000 from parents, but actually moves to Beijing...

A rather interesting story has cropped up in The Guardian. According to reports, a Chinese man informed his parents that he was studying at Oxford University, but actually just moved to Beijing and blew a third of it on an undeserving girlfriend....who then left him when he ran out of money. Oh, dear. He then went to a loan shark, and well, things went from bad to worse. Moral of the story: he should have asked for a larger amount of money...
