Maybe it's time to have a TV station go interview him.

It's not whether it is "worth" getting him criminally, it is whether there is enough evidence to PROVE he frauded you and other people. Does common sense tell us he is/was, yes, but having enough evidence to forward to Crown Counsel for a Charge approval is another thing. These types of issues are very hard to prove for Criminal charges. That is why more often than not, most people just accept their losses, or sue civilly. Even if he were to be charged civilly, the chances of the victims getting their money back are slim to none. When the police are involved, it is for Criminal charges, not monetary reimbursement. It is up to the courts to see what the punishment will be.
On another note, people need to smarten up and if things are "too good to be true", it is.
