Call the police. They may say civil matter. Go to small claims court. Their is a Seniors .... for help with crimes. Maybe someone will remember the name. They help you get your money back.
I would also write to the Fl attorney general and ask for an investigation. Also your county administration. Assume he needs a business license. I would also write to the Fl sales tax people and ask them to do an audit to see if he remitted the sales tax on your deposit.
Don't back off.
Good luck
