"If he doesn't respond to that, you could get more extreme by posting your own status and tagging him in it: "I've been working for @[friend] for months, and he hasn't paid me or responded to my emails."

Make possibly defamatory public statements about someone, especially someone you might end up in a legal battle with later, is not a great idea.
