Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Maryland

I went to Delaware with a man I'd known for 7 years. When we arrived at the casino I had a large amount of cash on me and he told me to let him hold it for me so I didn't spend it or get hit by a pickpocket. We'd done it before so I agreed. The next morning I woke up before him and went to get breakfast, I retrieved my envelope and where there should've been $2400, there was only $600. He woke up and admitted he gambled the money and would give it back as soon as we got into Baltimore. Its 3 months later and still no money and no attempt to pay it back. That money was for my car note and as of now my car is repossessed. Is this a civil or criminal matter? The man is a federal parolee if that matters. And I have texts where he admits he spent the money without my permission and owes it to me.

I don't see this as a criminal or civil matter. I see this as an issue of you using very poor judgment.
