[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks for the continued replies.

The update is that, as anticipated, DH was fired yesterday.  They admitted that they did not have any evidence that he did anything wrong but said that the suspicions that had been aroused made it impossible to keep him on.  They agreed that his internal HR record would state "involuntary termination," but that any outside employment verification would simply state his dates of employment without any indication as to reasons for leaving and without any reference, good or bad.

His (local) boss told him privately, off the record, that he doesn't believe that DH did anything wrong.  That meant a lot to him, to hear that the person who knew him best and worked with him daily knew his character and believed him.

He knows from friends/colleagues that an internal email was sent out saying, "DH has left to pursue other professional interests."  Several folks have contacted him to check in, but he's taking 3-4 days to clear his head before being in touch with anyone from his professional network.  I've been trying to give him space- he went for a run, went to the library to just sit & decompress, etc.  Tomorrow he'll start working on COBRA, unemployment, etc.

I think we're both relieved that this part is over and that he is able to leave without a permanent mark on his employment record.  He's sad about the relationships that were damaged but thankful that it seems like he can salvage his professional reputation.

I truly appreciate the helpful responses.[/quote]
