Exactly, I've seen it happen a few times to friends of mine. It will never end well.
What makes you think they haven't? If your going to bitch about it, bitch to the authorities who don't give a damn. Call the cops in some random town and tell them that someone stole your money over the internet and you even have a confession and see what they do with it, just to see how they respond.
Do you have any proof they are not doing anything? I would check your facts before you start talking crap like that.
Fact is, you can go around stealing all you want on the internet. The local authorities won't do anything about it, and the feds won't touch it till it reaches a certain amount. The only recourse is civil court, and you would loose more money filing then you would probably get back. (You also can't get water out of dry dirt.)
The only thing you can do is drag his name through the mud as much as possible to hopefully prevent someone else getting drug into a scam (ie. Andrew Biddar, google it.) But who seriously sifts through pages and pages of google results before they make a deal with someone online?
If people were a little smarter with their money there would be no problem. Another thing that most people don't know is what paypal actually protects you from (hint: Its not much) Research before you buy and use common sense!
