Obviously people learn from mistakes, so hopefully you come away with this, with some knowledge in the future about doing business.
As I'm sure you now regret posting this, it's to late. Even if it's deleted, you publicly made it known your intentions and what has been done. There is nothing you can do about that, so now you need to think about the road ahead.
Seems like you left yourself vulnerable to be ripped off, even with bullet proof contracts, someone will find a way not to pay you. Take this as a lesson learned and add in clauses to your contracts, such as a valid credit card on file, their Tax ID (if in the US) or some payment protection on your end -- collections, etc.
The crime you committed is NOT related to what he did for not paying you, unless that is within your contract. Two wrongs don't make a right, but what you did was admit you did something without permission. If I was to pay you to come in my house to change a light bulb, then didn't pay you, that doesn't give you the right to come back and take what you feel is necessary for payment. Regardless, you committed a crime no matter how you look at it.
For a reference point, I have a lot of experience with business law, and criminal and civil litigation; but I'm trying to help you here.
First, UNDO what you did on his site, upload it back and walk away.
Then, send him/her a certified letter, NOT email so you have proof and tell them they have X days to pay or you will send this to collections, including policing agencies as you feel that he/she have committed fraud and stolen from you. If they are a legit company, you can find their Tax ID, include that as you can file a complaint against it, including for tax purposes.
The goal would be to settle here, not to get 100%. Tell them if they pay X%, you will mark the debt as paid, as well request a release to be signed so this doesn't come back to haunt you later.
