Legal Question in Criminal Law in New Hampshire

Theft

The treasurer in my fantasy football league has shown no intent to pay over $2,000 in winnings. What sort of recourse do those at a loss have in this matter? Members of the league are in several different states. The Treasurer is in New Hampshire.
