What was she doing all these while? Lying on the bed beside him and looking at the ceiling?. This is ridiculous and mear madness and stupidity.

To gain her trust, the man claimed to possess not one but two bachelor’s degrees in economics and boasted of being a stock market investment expert with a lot of money deposited in a foreign bank.

Then you look at the picture of him with the car and think "Yeah there goes a stock market investment expert"

This makes no sense. If she took loans to buy the cars then the finance company owns the cars and holds the registration book - he can't just sell the cars - whoever bought them paid for nothing because he can't transfer ownership/registration. Of course they'll have to physically find the cars first, but getting them back should not be an issue I think.

Having said that - this is her side of the story. We haven't heard his. For all we know she bought him all this stuff as gifts, and once he got sick of her (or the gift-well ran dry) and dumped her - she's now changing the story to "poor me got scammed". Happens a lot with Thai women who think they can buy their boyfriend's love. Neither is morally ok, but between scamming someone and accepting gifts that she couldn't afford there's a big difference.
