I might be wrong, but really hope the OP isn't getting a soft spot for this guy and his "stories". Who gives a sweet fuck... dude ripped you off and I honestly believe had it not been for the Beyond CSI powers, this guy would keep ignoring you. He's only doing something now because he's going to be forced to do something. Don't let up for one second, don't give this guy a week... tell him you want your fucking money NOW. I'd be asking for interest if I were you.
