The "Webmaster" better hope he doesn't pay his attorney either.

It's not libel if it's true! But it may be some sort of fraud / infringement.
Debt collection laws make it illegal to inform anyone about a third party's debt (except their attorney, creditor, a credit reporting agency, and their spouse). It's not libel, but publicly posting someone's debts is still illegal.
Are you sure that applies for businesses? Most laws for consumer protection are personal, not business level.
Assuming the guy hasn't been paid then whatever contract they had is probably void anyway.
