Op,
I'd do one better.
File a police report asap and then send all that to the FL State AG office.
AG wont do anything specifically on your case, but if enough complaints build up where they can determine a pattern of fraud, they will take action to shut him down and can pursue criminal charges.
There is also local media outlets that have "investigative reporters" that just love a good story..
There's always the legal route( ie: small claims court)
You could of course, send him a copy of some of the above and tell him it wont end (social media post) until he returns your $$ and soon he there wont be anyone around that doesnt know he's a scam artist. This can have surprising positive results, or go horribly wrong...its all a matter of how much its all worth to ya.
