When you say that you "invested" $5k - are you a partner in the LLC and/or on the board of directors? If so, you may have a legal stance from which you can possibly take over the LLC from him, if you are interested and have the means to do so.
If you are not a member of the board or a partner, what sort of paperwork did you get for your investment?
If you aren't interested in taking it over and/or don't want to, either go the small claims route and ensure you do it in a way that he has to pay all of your court fees or walk away and wash your hands of the whole thing.
Best of luck making a decision - this sounds like a really frustrating situation.
