Now I'm out $1600 plus escrow fee and have an "escrow agent" who wants me to stop contacting him and refuses to offer any assistance. AWESOME!
Addressing the above extortion attempt...

I've had a cursory glance over Og's wallet address that he uses here:
https://blockchain.info/address/168WXhArv7Fasqvi2xm5MQMfLhG18jifMe
The below address is the only address I will ever ask you to send BTC to. If asked to send to a different address, you are dealing with a scammer.

I can't see going back to the end of April 2017 a transaction that corresponds to $ 1,600 both in and out.
There are some in the vicinity ie $ 1,530 but these are sent by Og first, not received by Og first.
Preev.com says tonight $ 1,600 USD is roughly
BTC 0.5641 and given egdevilboy2 was only spawned a week ago, there aren't any transactions close to
BTC 0.5641 either in or out in the last week via the wallet address Og uses.
https://blockchain.info/address/1G7MSfF2bNhgy4aPuMu4tx5k96fa9Cd8Hv comes the closest in the time frame, however, it's Og sending first, then Og receiving back, so that can't be the transaction.
It could be the two TX's
https://blockchain.info/tx/916011f0ce85928f9818985ab534a4dbf0c71f649cca118db37dee0d67b6eeb9 2017-05-30 03:13:26 (GMT / UTC) and
https://blockchain.info/tx/0d207e941bfd55b40bdf30c5710aeed7d39a89aadb8318e28f98f71a05d02de4 2017-05-30 07:17:52 (GMT / UTC) but the sending is still nine hours before egdevilboy2's account was spawned.
The thing I like about using blockchain.info is that when you hover over the BitCoin value it shows you what the actual US dollar amount was at the time the TX occurred, not what the price of BTC is now.
If it's not too intrusive can I ask either Og or egdevilboy2 for TX's of their sent to the other?
