So I'm getting screwed by a bookie. Ideas?

[Daliman]

Ok, as many of you know, the bookie I deal with is trying to not pay me or the other people involved in betting with me. The total sum owed is ~80k, and he has come up with numerous excuses to a pseudo-intermediary, (he will not answer the phone for any of the f'd principals). I am looking for ideas on legal things to do to either make it in his best interests to pay or to screw him over should he not. He was accepting these bets out-of-state, which would seem to be a pretty obvious RICO violation, as well as a few other federal felonies, I believe. Anyways, the things I have thought of include;

- Reporting to police/authories(what would MY liability be here?).
- Writing up a detailed summary of what happened, including his real name, phone #'s, address, and his legit(?) business he owns.
- Contacting people that book through him and telling them what he does to big winners.
- Using some bookie contacts I have to get word out to other books about him.


There's some other things I have considered of varying degrees of pressure, but any and all thoughts anyone has on anything I have commented on here or their own ideas are greatly appreciated. If it helps, the guy is based out of Syracuse, New York. Far more interested in ideas that might better facilitate us getting our $$$ though, ( for which we are a pretty serious dog at this point.)

Thanks for the help,
