It's obvious that your employer never intended to pay you. That nonpayment is knowing, deliberate, willful and intentional, and thus, makes it fall under the federal criminal statutes found in 18 USC 77, sections 1583-1594.
Write a statement of facts, and contact the nearest office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Send a copy of that statement to the U.S. attorney in your area. Politely request they take action.
The possible penalty for a conviction is: payment of wages owed; a fine of indeterminate size; up to 20 years imprisonment; forfeiture of all prooperty used in the commission of the crime; forfeiture of property gained as a result of the commission of the crime; a term of imprisonment of indeterminate length, or life, in cases of assault, aggravated sexual assault or attempt to murder. Informants may be subject to witness protection. Tack on five years for possessing, concealing or destroying federal documents pertaining to persons used as slaves.
That's no traffic ticket. People get away with it only because victims don't report it. Don't be like that, let them hear from you. In addition, if an employer isn't paying wages, he probably also isn't paying taxes on those wages. The penalty for willful tax evasion is a term of up to 10 years, plus payment and fines. Don't let them keep that money in their pockets.
