Define "huge amount of money". $100? $1000? $10,000? $100,000?

Woah!!!
Hard to imagine that anyone with the patience and skills to accumulate that much money would fall for the type of scam you describe.

I currently have a bank and credit card company on the ropes over a $1.50 parking charge in another country I didn't make and refuse to pay.
We're at the personal response to my snarky e-mail stage. The charge has been reversed, but I'm now holding their feet to the fire for the $.06 compounded interest.

Instead of focusing on getting the money back, tell your friend to track down the spammer scammer. Then have someone break his legs.
[Edit]
No, I don't really condone that approach, but--I'm not kidding--I have heard actual police officers make that sort of recommendation for crimes that they know they'll never spend the resources to investigate.

Breaking the scammer's legs is much too gentle a response; broken legs will usually heal eventually. An appropriate punishment IMO would be one that leaves a permanent mark on the perpetrator. I leave the details to the victims' imagination.
The real problem with this is that the Law in most jurisdictions tends to take a dim view of vigilante justice, no matter how justified.
