I'd ask him.for an alternate payment method. if he refuses I'd start hounding his close contacts. treat it like collections in this case. you may not recover it all but a good sum is better then none.
Of he's given names of mommy, sissy or uncle mike I'd get ahold of these people. let them know then see if they can't talk to him. I'm pretty sure this is ether a case of no intention or good intention that went south.
But at any rate I'd first give him the option to pay up in some other currency median.
What normally gives it away is that on their social media there is not a single 'Get Well Soon' message...
Interesting, didn't thought looking after that one. Dunno if 10btc is worth more than a tarnished online identity these days
You never know, maybe he was hit by a taxi, New Years Eve is pretty hectic after all. I hope it works out for everyone's sake
And his phone just pocket-logged into facebook and blocked his lender? I doubt it.I've heard that hospital line a few times...it's even more popular than the imaginary death in the family or sick child. They always choose excuses that are aimed at making YOU feel guilty while they are stealing from you.

These scammers can't even be original.
did he pay you or not??
The old "hit by a car stall tactic" eh?
Scammers are often not the sharpest pencils in the box. Often they are drug addicts who go on a binge and disappear. Often they are convicted criminals who get incarcerated again and often they are legitimate borrowers who don't have the ability or don't want to repay and decide the easiest person to skip out on is the guy on the internet they never met face to face. But what bitcoin scammers ALWAYS underestimate is the lengths to which bitcoiners will go to track a scammer down and recover funds.
This guy is an engineer..
OMG!!! WTF is that? A CRT TV? 
Are you sure it's really him and not a stolen identity? I doubt a scammer would give you so many personal details if they were going to scam? If he's given you so many personal details maybe something has just happened? (i.e he is unwell or something). Has he been active on twitter recently? Maybe I am just naive... but if it is him and he is a total scammer he must be a total idiot as well.
He was very active on Facebook and all his friends interaction looked legit to me.
Then go get him man. Call his work. Call / Facebook message his friends and family telling them he's a thief.

Well it won't be hard to track this guy down.

We should all post to his twitter and Facebook account asking when he is going to pay. Also friend his friends and follow his followers and post about his fraudulent activities. That has been effective in the past.
Send a letter to his work with proof of what he did. That'll teach him.
