Very unlikely. In this case, the only ones that could have done anything was Facebook. Anyone else would be lying.
He fell for a recovery scammer. They go after victims of scams, promising they can find money and track the original scammers and bring them to justice. All they do is make promises and ask for fees and extra funds for their work, which of course is all lies.
Even tho he sent the money to a scammer who obviously lied to him, he chose to do this of his own free will. The banks are not responsible for him doing this, because they are assume that as long as their clients are adults they are capable of deciding how to spend their own money and are responsible to do their own due diligence. The financial institutions are under no obligation or fault here.
The best he can do is make a police report, chalk this up to a hard life lesson, and educate others about how the scam went down.
