For the most part and to a limited extent, verbal contracts are just as valid as a written contract. I digress on that point. As for him being slick and hiding his money, this does indeed present a huge problem. But, you can make his financial life miserable. If you were to win a claim against him, he will be unable to open accounts in the US, make transactions, investments, get paid from US companies,get credit, puchase property or large ticket goods. His financial life in the US will be frozen. His only option would be some type of bankruptcy in the US courts, which I'm not sure is an option to non-citizens. If you can't get your money, you may as well make him as miserable as possible because of it.
