As Volpon said earlier give it up. Unless YOU are going to put up the 5 bit coins then don't expect someone else to. Personally, I think the guy is full of shit, however it is your money and your risk. Just don't beg for others to take the risk in expectation of the reward as that is not right. This thread however is so pointless unless the video's released, therefore I see no need for it to be bumped again.
Edit- No one is going to recoup the $2000 because, as soon as they release the video, all the less scrupulous cappers will share it on their links to earn money, as this could be a big earner and they wouldn't have contributed one shiny cent towards it's purchase but would reap the benefit of it's release.
