Playboy Gets 13 Years for Conning 10 Lovers

Somebody had too much fun in Shanghai.

A 23-year old playboy charmed and swindled 10 women out of Y1.45 million ($211, 988).

The young man met the women at parties and then went to work. One woman paid the “general manager of a company, who owned a lot of properties and luxury cars” a whopping Y800,000 ($115K). The woman believed his stories and his need for capital.

Ah, but women talk. One of the playboy’s ex-girlfriends caught wind of his romance and swindling and called the latest victim, who, in turn, called police.

When he wasn’t courting at parties, he used the Internet to meet women and impress them with a “flashy car and expensive apartment.”

I wonder what the women are going to think of his new ‘digs.’ He will spend the next 13 years and nine months in a Shanghai prison.
