    Most employers will not easily give the contact number of their employees or consultants.

    Get in touch with the current employer, but do not ask for his present contact number. Say "we are trying to get in touch with him. Please let him know we can be reached at this number/email." Find a suitably benign reason to include for why trying to get in touch. Do not mention the overpayment at all.

    Given the "multi-nation" nature of the issue, and he is so unable to contact in this day and age, unless there was something airtight in the employment contract about overpayment, legal action is not worth it.

    Glad to hear that.
    In this age of hyper connectivity his non response is baffling. And also a little indication that he’s well aware of the reason why but choosing to ignore.
    Given the context, I feel it’s okay to reach out to the new employer, provided you don’t reveal the reason for the reach out to them. You could just mention he used to work with your firm previously and that you are trying to contact him urgently. Don’t answer any further questions of why and what. In a way this will create a pressure on him to respond to you since he will understand that you are not going to go away quietly. He will also understand that you are willing to escalate the matter if he doesn’t play ball. Let him explain to his present employer why he’s ducking your messages. He can choose to do what he wants. The reach out would be a subtle hint to him in my opinion.
