Anyone with money will know how difficult it is to Buy a "car" and buy a "house" due to AML (anti money laundering law) you cant even put a deposit down without proving where its come from and its had tax paid etc or via a situated company with accounts VAT reg .
The same with banks , they don't just allow you to have millions of pounds of different deposits through an account that use to have £1200 wages going in? Due to online fraud, which is huge these days and the AML its's near impossible.
If the account is "offshore" then this is more likely..no laws , hence why they are used. Any one would be crazy even if the banks allowed it, to keep it all in a account here.
If hes been making payments back quickly then he has "some" money available but as you will see, this will be no where near what's at stake here...so yes he can say to the police "the money is there"...just £100,000 is not £6 million!!
he moved to accepting PayPal transfers???haha.
