Also, did he talk during the interview as if he was still actively working there or was he vague about it? Most people know if you’re interviewing that you’re leaving or have left a job. So I’m not sure an employment date ending in April while he’s interviewing in May is some huge red flag assuming he wasn’t going above and beyond to act like he was still employed.

And I doubt the previous employer is going to touch the reason the employment ended with a 10 ft pole. They will probably just validate dates of employment. If the current job offer company comes back and asks about whether employment ended, he can give an answer about how that workplace was no longer compatible with his career goals (true if they wanted him to lie), which spurred him to look for a new job. Don’t mention the firing of the other company doesn’t. Also, I think most red flags are firing “for cause” which usually doesn’t involve a severance.[/quote]
