I think he absolutely deserved it. He planned out a scam, and followed through with it, there's no going back from that. If he doesn't want to face the repercussions of his actions, then he shouldn't have scammed you. Saying 'sorry' doesn't cut it criminals always say they didn't mean it, but that doesn't mean shit. Sometimes people need some hard punishment to teach them a lesson. Keep his account and tell him that he can rot in a fucking ditch.
