Some one is either playing or didn't like the excellent advice they received last time.

 Sounds like she does know about the money! I could be wrong there but being 21 myself I can't see what a 68 year old man would have to offer a young lady.
The only problems I can see are old age setting in with the man being the age he is and your friend wanting to be young and care free, sex although he may still be active in that department.
I would sit down with your friend and ask her does she know what she's doing. If it is just money this guy could live to be over 100... that's over 30 years with him! Or she may find herself becoming a full time carer for him as he gets older. Not much fun for someone who is only 20!
I hope it doesn't sound like I'm judging your friend as I don't know her.
