A private investigator or skip tracer might help but actually I'm not sure throwing more money out to find him would payoff as the authorities will be looking for him popping up.If it were me, I'd post the guy's name and company name stating the facts, it would certainly give notice to others and he's in no position to do anything if you state the true facts.
