You need to have your friend contact the Volunteer Lawyers Project ASAP! This is gonna be a messy legal situation and your friend is going to need to get a lawyer. the link above will provide your friend with pro bono legal aid and will probably get your friend paid their missing money. This is not a matter that will be taken lightly, but time is of the essence in making sure the proper people are on your friends side.

Is that just for MA residents or other New England states?

I believe they are MA only. Your best bet is to contact the state bar association of whatever state and ask them about pro bono civil legal aid for low income individuals.
