I am in a no win situation. Don't reply I am an #######, reply telling him we aren't friends I am an #######.
Considering he hasn't phoned me in 15 years tells me if he never got sick it would have continued for 20. I may sound like a prick but think this is just a reason for me to join his pity party.
I realized 10 years ago I would never see any money and moved on. Never pursued it as it wouldn't have accomplished anything.
I just need to carefully think out my response if I do because it will be there for everyone to see the way things are today with screenshots and forwards.

I will guarantee you, you will regret it if not now, but one day in the future if he departs and you blow him off or stick it to him. I've had someone exit this world when I was on bad terms with them, it was simply an argument that got ugly and neither of us had the chance to mend it up, and joke about it like we usually did. But one day it was just "Yeah, ______ died yesterday." They are gone, and there is nothing you can do to fix it.
I will also guarantee you, if you just swallow your pride, and resentment, step in, and be a friend, you will never regret it, and you will feel much better about yourself, for burying the hatchet.
The $7000 is gone, maybe you can salvage something out of this thing of greater value.
