A Bugatti is like a few million dollars no? This discrepancy doesn't make sense to me, if he already had the money on that scale why did a few hundred thousand euros of investment matter so desperately?
Back then when they were new it was more like 800k.
But yeah, this part stood out for me as well. My guess is he either financed the car, or didn't pay for it at all (just have it repo'd, you'd still have impressed the girl). Or the whole story is fake, you never know with these kind of serial scammers, their whole life is a lie.
