SafariShane needs to turn around and hack back in to the system in a week and show that the new company's security measures weren't that great.;-) This will ingratiate himself with the CEO and get the new company kicked out.
Well, he could sue them. It's called "slander." If they wrote it down as well, it's called "libel." As a bonus, as part of the trial he could subpoena all the documents related to the case, and find out what they really had to say about him. Courts tend to look at libel related to employment very favorably. He should contact a lawyer.
...I would subpoena the report to see what criteria "surfaced" that convinced his employer to replace him with the new guys. This could win the case for SafariShane, if there were no other "problems" with his history at the company.
I'm thinking his credit report came back bad, I've known people who have been hired, then lost their jobs due to a bad credit report, it's used the same way your car insurance company hikes your rates if your credit goes bad, statisticly speaking you're now in with a class of people that don't really care if they mash a ferrari every other day. Err.... what I'm trying to say is a lack of responsibility, he should see if there was an inquiry on his credit report.
Promptness is its own reward, if one lives by the clock instead of the sword.

He got hosed by an unethical competitor, but he can't do crap about that now. Time to brush off the resume.
