Okay so here's what you do. Go on-line, learn everything you can about how to sue a guy in his District Court. Download the forms, write it up and you do it just like an attorney would, exaggerating every accusation and every damage, real or imagined, only in your case being sure to stay just under the total you are allowed to sue for in his jurisdiction.
Print it up, and mail it off to - and this is the most important part - a process server.
The whole time this is going on, however long it takes and the longer the better, you do NOT try and contact the guy. You let him sit there chortling over the poor dumb schlub whose deck he keeps getting paid to sit on. Which he is really enjoying. Until the process server. And let me tell you, that will wipe the friggen smile off his face. That will create the public record and reputation you desire. And he will HAVE to appear in court, or risk summary judgment in your favor.
Which by the way you do not necessarily have to appear for. If it goes that far you either hire an attorney to make just the one appearance, if your research even turns up that that is required. You may be able to arrange other representation. Point is, your guy will have to appear or risk summary judgment. Most people will do just about anything to avoid a court appearance.
Or you get yourself some bitcoin, hire some Russian hacker. Or you walk.
I'd go with the process server.
