Boss terminated after I asked to pay me?

I received job offer for summer internship (not payed), but the CEO told me that I will get a lot of "educational' experience, will be able to visit company's shows (fashion shows as it is PR company) and will get my transportation covered after 2 weeks trial period. I accepted job offer which involved me to return my airplane ticket back home for 700$, pay rent to stay in expensive New York city 3,000$ for entire summer and plus spend saved money for food, etc. I thought I would get plenty of experience and possibly work there as an employee in future. After 2 weeks they told me I fit their company and they are happy with me. But I was not happy as they did not provide me with training at all!!! and after 1 month of working there they still did not cover my transportation and when it was a fashion show which I wanted to attend they told me I am not allowed to! I asked the CEO when they are going to cover my transportation as I am already paying for everything. They said they will do it and next day they sent me termination notice stating "I am not a good fit for the company"! It drove me into tears and all the spending and investing so much money was in vain as I can't even put them in resume now or have references because I was "terminated". It is so unfair and was such a lie initially just to take advantage of me. Is here any case?
