You should report to his family and his details should be publicized should their response not be sufficient. Even then it's likely he won't stop. Only take back what he stole as anything else is likely stolen goods. The point here is to provide assistance for any other victims in locating who scammed them as well as making the scammer painfully aware of the damage he will cause himself by continuing with this behavior.
Why am I deprioritizing police? Police really don't handle this sort of thing well. They'll likely consider it a civil matter or just won't make the stretch to pursue. It doesn't help the victim is not in the US (lower that priority some more) Sure you can log the complaint, but unless he's brazen and lots come forward about him, they likely will not bring charges. (go read up on bitscotty scamming bitcoin-otc'ers, he did it for years even after being doxxed and reported to police) I'm not saying not to report though. Make sure his details are accessible so others can follow your report.
If you want another fast track, he said he's in college so report to their administration. Without rights or due process in the way they'll probably sanction his ass immediately. Did he scam from the school's network? If so it is now a school issue and they don't like looking bad. :)
You should note that he's from austria (based on his domain name), I would assume it would be quite a feat to go to visit US police from Austria and not worth his $500.
