Actually, you can use the silo cheat(unlimited money) in multiplayer 
games.. Ask him to update to patch 1.18 (you can find it on any c&c web 
site).  That way, you know he at least can't cheat.  

My advice is to get him way before he has a chance to build up 10-20 
mammoth's. Also, set up plenty of turrets(nod) or advanced guard 
towers(gdi) at the entrances of your base.. Also, leave as few entrances 
as possible.  

Another strategy is to cut off his money supply. While he is saving 
money to build orcas and mammoths (both are $1500) nail his harvesters 
as fast and hard as possible.  Use either a small force of tanks (slow) 
or several recon bikes (nod, fast). 

Lastly, make sure you have at least two harvesters going at once for 
you.  Instead of building one tiberium refinery, then a weapons factory, 
then ordering another harvester, just build 2 refineries.  This also 
helps the cash flow come in very quickly.
