After I posted OP should go to jail I kind of thought for a moment if I was a scammed victim, would I still want him to go to jail? At first it seems like thats -EV$ for victims, but perhaps its not, or maybe it's necessary.
1.) Him getting convicted would make it much easier to get a civil judgment in your favor.
2.) Hes likely going to revert back to his ways when he gets upset because God didnt bless him with something one day. I highly doubt he just all the sudden found Jesus and will be a good person the rest of his life.
3.) Him going to jail, with a huge NVG thread and all, would certainly decrease the amount of future scammers/scams. Part of the problem is the worst thing that ever happens in the poker world is some internet nerds make a thread about you. Hell if you ADMIT to STEALING 280k from people but say you found Jesus then well, OK, go on and try to do well and make some $ to pay people back. I mean its kinda ridiculous.
4.) Him spending jail time might actually make a change out of him other than his Jesus [likely] whim. If it's not a whim, then he'll pay you when he gets out. Maybe he'll get diagnosed and medicated for the mental illness he probably has.
Anyways, I think theres some upside with turning this over to the right channels and have him actually face some non-NVG style punishment. Or just let him do his airbrushing and hope he sticks with Jesus and continues to feel bad.
