You can sue A for specific performance of the contract and in the alternative ask for damages for the breach and claim your money paid back with interest and additional damages for the breach.

For Criminal action against A, we have to see the intention of his actions.

Civil recourse may be taken, subject to law of limitation.

Criminal liability will depends on attending facts and circumstances of the matter.
